Common Mistakes When Utilizing Steam Hoses
The service life of PVC spray hose is affected by many factors. Generally speaking, its service life is about 5-15 years. The following are some factors that affect its service life:
Material quality
If high-quality raw materials are used, the spray pipe will have better resistance to aging, corrosion and wear. Therefore, the service life will be relatively long. On the contrary, spray pipes produced with inferior raw materials may have problems such as cracking and embrittlement in a relatively short period of time. Ultimately, the service life is shortened.
Use environment
Long-term exposure to harsh climatic conditions such as direct sunlight, high temperature, and severe cold will accelerate the aging of PVC spray pipes, thereby shortening their service life. For example, in areas with strong ultraviolet radiation, the surface of the spray pipe is prone to cracking and fading.
Frequency of use and pressure
PVC spray pipes that are frequently used and have high working pressure will be subjected to greater stress on their internal structure. As a result, fatigue damage is prone to occur, resulting in pipe rupture or loose connections. On the contrary, spray pipes with low frequency of use and moderate working pressure will have a relatively longer service life.
Maintenance
Regularly clean and maintain PVC spray pipes. At the same time, timely discover and deal with problems such as pipe damage and blockage. This can effectively extend its service life. For example, drain the liquid in the pipe in time after use to avoid corrosion of the pipe by residual pesticides or fertilizers. Insulate the pipe in winter to prevent freezing and cracking.
