Performance of rubber steam hoses in different environments
The performance of rubber steam hoses in different environments will be affected by many factors, including temperature, pressure, chemical corrosion, ultraviolet radiation, etc. The following is a detailed analysis of the performance of rubber steam hoses in different environments
Rubber steam hose
1.High temperature environment
High temperature resistance is one of the important characteristics of rubber steam hoses. For example, ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) and silicone rubber have good high-temperature resistance and can maintain elasticity and sealing at higher temperatures, making them suitable for the transportation of high-temperature steam.
In high-temperature environments, rubber materials may undergo thermal aging, resulting in performance degradation. Therefore, choosing a rubber material with excellent heat aging resistance is crucial to ensure the long-term stable operation of the hose at high temperatures.

2. Chemical attack environment:
Rubber steam hoses require excellent corrosion resistance in certain chemically aggressive environments. EPDM rubber has good resistance to the erosion of chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and salts, so it is suitable for steam transportation in corrosive situations.
Fluorine rubber and perfluoroether rubber are also synthetic rubbers with excellent corrosion resistance and can maintain stable performance in harsh environments such as strong acid and strong alkali.

3. Stressful environment:
Rubber steam hoses need to withstand a certain amount of pressure, so their pressure resistance is also an important consideration. The inner and outer rubber layers of high-pressure hoses are usually made of synthetic rubber with excellent heat resistance to ensure good sealing and durability under high pressure.
Different types of rubber steam hoses may differ in their ability to withstand pressure, so the appropriate hose type needs to be selected based on the actual working pressure.

4. Ultraviolet irradiation environment:
UV resistance is also a factor to consider for rubber steam hoses that are exposed to the outdoors or direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Some rubber materials may age and crack under UV irradiation, so it is necessary to choose rubber materials with excellent UV resistance.
