What kind of hose can be used for steam pipes?
Thread Content
Our factory uses these black hoses with steel wires inside, and they break frequently. Are there any better hoses that are resistant to steam? One pipe has a steam pressure of no more than 0.4 MPa, while the other has almost no pressure at all; it’s simply the steam generated by the boiling water in a tank. The water quality is satisfactory.
The quality of your hoses is not up to standard; buy some that are of better quality and more durable
Temporary use can be done with ordinary rubber hoses, but metal hoses are better for long-term use
Do you use this too? Won’t it break if the quality is good?
If the rubber hose is of better quality, it should hold up for a few months, as long as it isn’t moved around
HG 3036-2009 Specification for Rubber Hoses and Hose Assemblies for Saturated Steam
Metal hose, with a pressure resistance of 25 kg or 40 kg.
The hose you are using is likely not a specialized rubber hose for steam. Given the operating conditions you described, if it were a specialized steam-resistant rubber hose, it should be able to last for one to two years without any problems
Flexible metal hose; a nominal pressure of 1.0 MPa or higher is sufficient
