EPDM rubber hose application areas

 

In industrial production, the choice of high-temperature steam hose is crucial. This hose must not only withstand high temperatures and pressures, but also have good wear resistance, corrosion resistance and aging resistance. Today, we will elaborate on a special high-temperature steam hose: it is made of red EPDM and contains a steel wire braided inner layer. The performance characteristics of this hose make it an ideal choice for many industrial applications.

 

Excellent properties of red EPDM

 

1. Excellent high-temperature resistance

 

Red EPDM, referred to as EPDM rubber, is a material with excellent high-temperature resistance. It can remain stable in the temperature range of -40°C to 150°C. Therefore, this material is very suitable for use in high-temperature steam environments. Compared with other rubber materials, EPDM rubber is not easy to deteriorate, harden or soften due to high temperatures.

 

2. Excellent ozone and aging resistance

 

In an environment exposed to ozone and ultraviolet rays for a long time, EPDM rubber shows excellent aging resistance. This feature makes it have a longer service life in outdoor and harsh environments. In addition, it also has excellent antioxidant properties, which can effectively delay the aging process of the material.

 

3. Strong chemical corrosion resistance

 

EPDM rubber is resistant to acids, alkalis, saturated steam and other chemicals. In addition, it has good resistance to a large number of organic solvents, motor oil and other chemicals, which makes it widely used in the chemical industry.

 

Guarantee of the inner layer of steel wire braid

 

1. Improved pressure resistance of the oil pipe

 

The existence of the steel wire braid layer enables the oil pipe to withstand higher pressure. This is crucial for oil pipes working in high-pressure steam environments. This layer of steel wire not only enhances the strength of the oil pipe, but also ensures that it will not deform or break when subjected to high pressure.

 

2. Enhanced anti-twisting and anti-tensile properties

 

The structure of the steel wire braid layer gives the oil pipe excellent anti-twisting and anti-tensile properties. This not only improves the durability of the oil pipe, but also reduces the risk of damage to the oil pipe caused by external forces. This design is particularly important for industrial applications that require frequent movement or change of angles.

 

Wide range of applications

 

1. Petrochemical industry

 

In the petrochemical industry, it is often necessary to transport various high-temperature and high-pressure chemicals. The high-temperature resistant steam oil pipe composed of red EPDM rubber and steel wire braided inner layer has become an indispensable and important component in the petrochemical industry due to its excellent chemical corrosion resistance and high temperature tolerance.

 

2. Power plants and thermal power plants

 

Power plants and thermal power plants need to handle a large amount of high-temperature steam every day to drive turbine generator sets. The temperature and pressure of these steams are extremely high, and there are very strict requirements on the quality of the oil pipe. This high-temperature resistant steam oil pipe can not only withstand high temperature and high pressure, but also operate stably for a long time, greatly reducing the frequency of equipment maintenance and replacement.

 

3. Food and beverage industry

 

In the food processing process, steam is used for heating, sterilization and other links. Choosing the right oil pipe material is particularly important because it is related to the safety and quality of the product. Red EPDM rubber has become the first choice in this industry due to its good heat resistance and hygiene properties, while the steel wire braided inner layer ensures its stability under high pressure conditions.

 

Installation and maintenance

 

1. Precautions during installation

 

When installing high-temperature steam oil pipes, ensure that the connection parts at both ends of the oil pipes are intact and tightly matched with the connecting parts. Especially in high-pressure steam systems, more attention should be paid to the firmness and sealing of the connection. During the installation process, the oil pipes should also be prevented from being excessively bent and twisted to prevent damage to the wire braided layer.

 

2. Regular inspection and maintenance

 

In order to ensure the long-term stability of the oil pipes, regular inspections are particularly important. Regular inspections include but are not limited to the appearance of the oil pipes, protective layers, connection parts, etc. For oil pipes operating in high temperature and high pressure environments, special attention should be paid to whether there are aging, hardening or cracking phenomena. Once problems are found, they should be replaced or repaired in time.

 

3. Alarm mechanism in use

 

In actual use, pressure alarms and temperature alarms can be installed to monitor the operating status of the oil pipes in real time. Once an abnormality occurs, the alarm system can issue an alarm in time to remind the operator to take emergency measures, thereby effectively avoiding the occurrence of safety accidents.

 

Sustainable development and environmental protection

 

Currently, environmental protection and sustainable development have become hot topics of global concern. Since red EPDM has low environmental impact during the production process, it also has a long service life, thus reducing the generation of waste. This series of advantages makes this oil pipe not only superior in technical performance, but also in line with the requirements of environmental protection and sustainable development.

 

1. Low-carbon production

 

The production process of EPDM is relatively low-carbon, and less carbon dioxide is emitted during the manufacturing process. Its production technology is also constantly iterating, making the impact on the environment smaller and smaller.

 

2. Long service life

 

Compared with other materials, EPDM has a longer service life, which not only means a lower replacement frequency, but also reduces the waste generated by replacement. By extending the service life and reducing the consumption of resources, the goal of sustainable use can be achieved.

 

Future Outlook

 

With the continuous development of industrial technology, the performance requirements for high-temperature resistant steam oil pipes are getting higher and higher. In the future, high-performance oil pipes like red EPDM and steel wire braided inner layer will become more and more, and will be applied to more emerging fields. For example, new application needs will continue to emerge in the new energy industry and high-tech manufacturing industry.

 

We can predict that the future oil pipe materials will be more diversified. In addition to continuing to improve the performance of existing materials, more new materials with special functions will be developed. These new materials will perform better in high temperature, high pressure, anti-aging, corrosion resistance and other aspects, thereby promoting the development of the entire industry.

 

In summary, the high-temperature resistant steam oil pipe composed of red EPDM rubber and steel wire braided inner layer has become an ideal choice for the industry with its excellent performance, wide application fields and environmental protection characteristics. It not only solves the transportation problem under high temperature and high pressure environment, but also provides reliable guarantee for the production and operation of various industries.

 

Whether it is now or in the future, this kind of oil pipe will continue to play an irreplaceable and important role in industrial production and contribute to technological progress and sustainable development.
