Rubber hose is a common material in industry. But during the use, there will be various problems. While the typical ones are leakage and falling. Leakage and detachment from the connection parts of the hose can cause major accidents if it lasts for a long time. Therefore, these problems cannot be ignored, so please be sure to pay attention to them.
Why does this leakage and shedding occur?
There are two main reasons. One is caused by the deterioration of the industrial hose. The second is caused by improper selection of joints and hoses. The rubber pipe is flexible in the early stages of use. And this flexibility makes the connection between the hose and the joint tight to a certain extent. While this can effectively prevent fluid leakage.
When installing the joint on the hose, if a pipe joint (hose mouth) larger than the inner diameter of the hose is inserted, the stretched hose will generate a strong restoring force. So it can be tightly wrapped connector.
However, after long-term use, the hose hardens. The elasticity of the rubber tubing itself gradually disappears, creating a gap. Fluid will leak from the gap between the hose and the joint. This phenomenon also occurs between the outer tube of the hose and the hose clamp. Therefore, no matter how perfect the initial installation is, “falling off and leaking” will still occur over time.
Therefore, users must accurately predict the period when the elasticity of the hose will weaken and perform maintenance operations such as tightening the hose clamp regularly. The second reason is leakage and shedding caused by improper selection of hose and joint sizes. Even products with the same name from the same manufacturer come in multiple sizes. If it is too loose, it will naturally leak and fall off immediately. On the contrary, when the connection is too tight, it will put excessive pressure and burden on the hose. This will promote the deterioration of the hose. At the same time, it will also accelerate the speed of hose leakage and falling off.
