Cleaning and maintenance of flexible metal hose

During the use of metal hoses, due to their small size and large number, it is difficult to clean and maintain. However, if cleaning and descaling are not in place, the service life of metal hoses will be greatly reduced. How to Maintaining and cleaning metal hoses, Shandong Hesper Rubber Plastic Co., Ltd. will introduce the relevant methods to you:

Cleaning metal hoses:

1: Metal hose fittings should be cleaned after use, before inspection, or before being retained for a long time. The cleaning method should be according to the environment and the use of the metal hose. The sandblasting metal hose is hydro-formed with thin-walled stainless steel, which has strong flexibility, elasticity, strong bending and anti-vibration ability, and the reinforced protection of the braided mesh sleeve makes it have a higher pressure bearing capacity.

2: According to the actual situation, you can choose clean water, hot water, detergent, normal temperature general solution for flushing

3: If the metal hose is used to transmit strong acid medium, before cleaning, the remaining medium must be cleaned before cleaning, to avoid the appearance of heat due to conflict during cleaning. After transferring the colloidal medium, should be no residue in the tube to avoid the reaction of the hose when used in next time. You can also use steam or compressed air to clean metal hose, but the temperature should not be too high, and the end of the hose must be open to avoid damage to the fabric and film in the tube. During the cleaning process, the hose must be grounded.

Checking the metal hose：

If the metal hose has not been used for a long time, before using it, should confirm check whether has visual inspection for mechanical damage, and the resistance value between the flange diameters should be measured according to the rules of GB/T9572-2001. Only after its inspection and  the inspection results are qualified then it be put into use again.
