EPDM high temperature steam hose

 

Industrial innovation is constantly advancing, and various new materials and technologies are also coming one after another. Among them, efficient and reliable steam pipeline solutions are crucial for multiple industrial chains such as petrochemicals, electricity, and food processing. This article will focus on two steam pipeline products widely used in industry: steel wire braided steam pipe and EPDM high temperature resistant steam hose. At the same time, we will also mention cloth-reinforced steam hose, the characteristics, advantages and application scenarios of these products.

 

1. Steel wire braided steam pipe

 

1. Structure and characteristics of steel wire braided steam pipe

 

The steel wire braided steam pipe is a composite pipe composed of an inner rubber tube, a middle steel wire braided layer and an outer protective layer. The design idea is to enhance the pressure resistance and wear resistance of the pipe through a multi-layer structure.

 

- Inner rubber: usually made of high temperature resistant and steam corrosion resistant rubber materials, such as polypropylene or chloroprene rubber.

 

- Middle steel wire braided layer: The middle layer is woven with high-strength steel wire, which can not only greatly improve the pressure bearing capacity of the pipeline, but also prevent external forces from causing damage to the pipeline.

 

- Outer protective layer: The outer layer usually uses wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and anti-aging rubber materials, so that it can still maintain a long life in harsh industrial environments.

 

2. Advantages

 

- High pressure bearing capacity: The steel wire braided layer greatly improves the strength and stability of the pipeline, enabling it to operate safely under high pressure environments.

 

- High temperature resistance: Most steel wire braided steam pipes can work for a long time in an environment with a temperature exceeding 200 degrees Celsius and are not easy to deform.

 

- Corrosion resistance: The high-quality rubber material used has good chemical corrosion resistance.

 

- Flexibility and bending performance: Compared with traditional metal pipes, steel wire braided steam pipes are lighter and easier to bend, suitable for complex pipeline systems.

 

3. Application scenarios

 

- Chemical industry: used to transport high-temperature, high-pressure steam and corrosive liquids.

 

- Shipbuilding: used for steam transmission in boiler rooms and other high-temperature areas.

 

- Food processing: used for high-temperature sterilization and cooking processes, with high safety.

 

2. EPDM high-temperature steam hose

 

1. Structure and characteristics of EPDM high-temperature steam hose

 

EPDM rubber (EPDM) has excellent high-temperature resistance, ozone resistance, and aging resistance, so it is widely used in the manufacture of high-temperature steam hoses. Its basic structure is similar to that of steel wire braided steam hoses, but it focuses more on the high durability of the material itself.

 

- Inner rubber: 100% pure EPDM rubber is used to ensure excellent physical properties under high temperature and high pressure.

 

- Reinforcement layer: fiber cloth or steel wire braided structure can be used to enhance its compressive resistance.

 

- Outer protective layer: EPDM rubber or other high-temperature resistant and aging-resistant materials are also used.

 

2. Advantages

 

- High temperature resistance: suitable for high temperature environments of 150 to 200 degrees Celsius.

 

- Excellent anti-oxidation and anti-aging ability: EPDM has fewer double bonds in its molecular structure, so it has excellent performance in high temperature, aging, ozone and other environments.

 

- Excellent elasticity and wear resistance: This material is very suitable as a steam pipe in an environment with frequent changes in temperature and pressure.

 

- Environmental protection and safety: EPDM materials are non-toxic and harmless, and are suitable for industries with high hygiene requirements such as food processing.

 

3. Application scenarios

 

- Power industry: used for high-temperature steam and cooling water transmission of power equipment.

 

- Automobile manufacturing: used in the cooling system and high-temperature pipelines of automobile engines.

 

- Pharmaceutical industry: used for high-temperature disinfection equipment and autoclaves.

 

3. Cloth-reinforced steam hose

 

1. Structure and characteristics

 

Cloth-reinforced steam hoses are usually composed of an inner rubber layer, a cloth-reinforced layer and an outer rubber layer. Its characteristics are similar to those of steel wire braided steam hoses and EPDM high-temperature steam hoses, but they focus more on flexibility and high-frequency use scenarios.

 

- Inner rubber layer: high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials such as butyl rubber are often used.

 

- Fabric layer: The multi-layer fiber reinforced fabric interlayer makes the pipe have high pressure resistance and excellent flexibility.

 

- Outer rubber layer: The protective layer is usually a wear-resistant and anti-aging rubber material.

 

2. Advantages

 

- High flexibility: The fabric layer enables it to maintain excellent mechanical properties even when bending with a small radius.

 

- Strong pressure resistance: The multi-layer fabric reinforced structure enables it to operate well even under high pressure conditions.

 

- Economical: Its comprehensive manufacturing cost is low and suitable for a wider range of use scenarios.

 

3. Application scenarios

 

- Mechanical manufacturing: used for the transmission of high-temperature, high-pressure liquids and gases, and to meet the installation requirements of various mechanical equipment.

 

- Metallurgical industry: used for the transmission of high-temperature steam and cooling water.

 

- Environmental protection equipment: suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure liquid transportation in sewage treatment equipment.

 

Comprehensive comparison and suggestions

 

For users who need to choose steam pipe products for different industrial applications, understanding the comparison of the following aspects will help make a wise choice:

 

- Use environment: Wire braided steam pipe is suitable for extremely high pressure and high temperature environment; EPDM high temperature steam hose is suitable for medium and high pressure, high temperature and good anti-aging performance; cloth steam hose is suitable for frequent installation and replacement scenarios that require high flexibility and economy.

 

- Cost and durability: Wire braided steam pipe is expensive, but its high pressure resistance and long service life are suitable for high-demand environments; EPDM high temperature steam hose is slightly cheaper, but its environmental protection and safety characteristics make it have an advantage in industries with high hygiene requirements; cloth steam hose has the lowest cost, but its durability and performance under high pressure are slightly inferior, and it is more suitable for conventional environments.

 

When choosing, you must weigh the pros and cons of each and make the best decision based on the specific application scenario. In short, advanced steam pipe solutions are constantly driving all industries towards a more efficient and reliable direction.
