Dear sea friends, take a look at the steel wire rope ends connected to the hydraulic oil pipe fittings on the hydraulic oil pump – what is their purpose?
This is called a flex ring; it consists of short steel wires connected in a ring shape at the ends of the two hoses. When a joint breaks, the flexible element will prevent the end of the hose from bouncing.
Prevent it from flying out and causing injury to people or other equipment in the event of a tube rupture
It prevents the high-pressure end of the oil pipe from coming loose or breaking, which could cause the high-pressure pipeline to swing around and strike other pipelines or equipment, leading to secondary accidents; its main function is to provide stability in the event of a leak, thereby preventing the pipeline from moving around.
Prevent injury when the oil tube breaks and falls off.
