A: The most prevalent materials include SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber), EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), and NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber). For higher temperature/chemical resistance, CSM (chlorosulfonated polyethylene) or silicone may be used. The precise material is chosen based on application requirements and fluid conveyed.
A: Reinforcement—such as high-tensile polyester braid, textile yarn, or stainless steel wire braid—prevents hose expansion under pressure, increases burst strength, and improves longevity and kink resistance, especially critical in high-pressure or pulsed flow applications.
A: Working pressure is the maximum recommended pressure at which a hose can operate safely, commonly defined with a 3:1 or 4:1 safety factor versus burst pressure (e.g., if burst pressure is 1200 PSI, the hose's working pressure would be rated at 300-400 PSI).
A: Widely recognized standards include SAE J1402 (air brake lines), DIN EN 853/854 (hydraulic hoses), ISO 2398, and ASTM D380 (general industrial hoses). Adherence ensures compatibility, safety, and reliable performance.
A: Heat-resistant rubber hoses are typically composed of EPDM, silicone, or fluorocarbon elastomers, offering continuous service temperatures up to 150°C or higher, and enhanced chemical/oil resistance—ideal for automotive, chemical, and steam service.
A: Power steering hoses must be routed with minimal bends, securely clamped, and installed with proper end fittings certified to relevant automotive standards to prevent leaks, vibration, and undue stress on joints.
A: AISI 304/316L offers corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and thermal endurance. 316L is favored for chemical/petrochemical exposure, while 304 is superior for general thermal and mechanical durability.
