Can a metal hose be used for a flexible connection at the bottom outlet of an ethylene oxide horizontal tank? Given the high hazard level of the medium, metal hoses are prone to leakage, and leaks may not be detectable after the pipes are insulated, thus creating safety hazards
For the discharge outlet of the EO horizontal tank, it is advisable to use a metal hose for connection； However, the selected flexible metal hose manufacturer must possess a manufacturing license for pressure pipeline components of the corresponding grade and type. As for leaks in pipes (including flexible hoses), they can usually be detected by the sensors of the flammable gas or toxic and harmful gas detection and alarm systems installed in the tank area. For reference!
A metal hose can be used for a flexible connection, but it is advisable to use it for a cycle length of no more than 2 years.
