Prevent problems caused by condensation! Introducing hose insulation methods and recommended products
Condensation tends to form on the surface of hoses carrying low-temperature fluids, and the dripping water it causes can result in problems. One way to prevent or reduce condensation is to minimize the temperature difference between the hose and the surroundings and to reduce the ambient humidity. However, because using air conditioning equipment to adjust the temperature and humidity inside the factory or around hoses can be expensive, it is common to insulate the surface of hoses. In this article, Hose Adviser PRO will describe hose insulation methods. Key points of this article Hose insulation method 1 — Wrapping with polyethylene foam (PEF) Let’s start with a question for everyone […]

Is the Use of Oil Related to Hose Kinking and Collapsing? selecting the Right Hose to Prevent Kinking and Collapsing
When a hose is used to carry oil, certain types of oil may cause the hose to harden rapidly. Because hardened hoses cannot be returned to their original condition and may lead to various types of problems such as kinking or collapsing, they should be replaced as soon as possible. In this article, Hose Adviser PRO will explain how certain types of oil can cause a hose to harden, and how to prevent kinking and collapsing. Key points of this article The secret behind PVC hose flexibility Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin is often used to make general-purpose hoses. PVC resin is hard at room temperature and cannot be bent. However, […]

Does static electricity cause hoses to become clogged? Key points of static electricity countermeasures for increasing productivity
Static electricity issues become more frequent during dry seasons, and when this static electricity builds up in a hose, raw materials start adhering to the inner lining, obstructing flow and causing clogs. Such clogging can be prevented by taking proper measures against static electricity, leading to stable production and more efficient work. In this article, Hose Adviser PRO will explain key points of static electricity countermeasures for increased productivity, work efficiency, and safety. Key points of this article How is static electricity generated in hoses? Now, here’s a question for everyone from Hose Adviser PRO. What is the main reason static electricity builds up in hoses? Select from among A, B, […]
