The working pressure and burst pressure of industrial hoses

The working pressure and burst pressure of industrial hoses are critical parameters in their design and application, directly determining the safety and reliability of the hoses under specific conditions. Below is a more detailed explanation of these two parameters:

Working Pressure:

Working pressure refers to the internal pressure that a hose can continuously withstand under normal working conditions without leaking, deforming, or being damaged. It mainly on the material, structure, wall thickness, diameter of the hose, as well as the temperature and medium properties in the working environment.

Different industrial hoses may have different working pressures due to their different uses and working environments. For example, hoses used for conveying high-pressure gases may need withstand higher working pressures, while hoses used for conveying liquids or viscous substances may have relatively lower working pressures.

Bursting pressure:

Bursting pressure, also known as rupture pressure, refers to the minimum pressure at which a hose suddenly ruptures due to exceeding its ultimate strength the process of withstanding pressure. This parameter reflects the anti-burst performance of the hose and is an important indicator for evaluating the safety performance of the hose

The burst pressure is usually much higher than the working pressure to ensure that the hose will not rupture due to excessive pressure under normal working conditions. However if the hose is subjected to external impacts, wear and tear, or aging, its burst pressure may decrease, thereby increasing the risk of rupture

Therefore, when selecting and using industrial hoses, it is essential to fully consider their burst pressure and avoid using them beyond their burst pressure. At the time, regular inspection and maintenance of the hoses to ensure they are in good working condition is also an important measure to prevent hose rupture.

It is important to note that the specific values of working pressure and burst pressure can vary depending on the type, specifications, material of the hose, as well as the working environment. Therefore, in practical applications, it is advisable to refer to the product manual, safety regulations, or consult professional engineers for accurate information and safety usage recommendations.

In addition, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of industrial hoses, other related factors such as the connection method of the hose, sealing performance corrosion resistance, and service life should also be considered. These factors also have an important impact on the working performance and safety of the hose.

In summary, the working pressure and burst pressure of industrial hoses are important parameters that cannot be ignored in their design and application. Only by fully understanding meaning and influencing factors of these parameters can the safe operation of the hose be ensured and potential safety risks avoided.
