The Secret to Longer-Lasting Hoses:
Preventing Hose Failures in Industrial Applications.
If you’re experiencing frequent hose replacements, it may be time to reconsider
the type of hoses you’re using. Did you know that factors like environmental
compatibility, media compatibility, and proper installation play a critical role in
hose longevity?
Even minor fitting misalignments or using hoses unsuitable for your application’s
pressure and temperature can significantly reduce their lifespan. Recognising
these details helps you choose hoses that are both effective and durable. Many
businesses overlook these technical aspects, resulting in repeated failures and
higher costs.
Why Hoses Fail: Common Issues
- Poor Quality Hose: Inferior materials lead to shorter lifespans.
- Incorrect Installation:
- Hoses that are too long or too short.
- Improper alignment of fittings.
- Incorrect angles or missing angled fittings.
- Application Mismatch:
- Operating pressures or temperatures exceeding hose specifications.
- Incompatible media running through the hose.
- Environmental Factors: Environmental conditions that degrade hose materials over time.
- Incorrect Seals or Threads: Degraded seals or mismatched mating parts.
- Improper Bend Radius: Hoses bending beyond recommended limits.
- Neglected Maintenance: Lack of regular inspection and maintenance schedules.
