Factors affecting the service life of rubber pipes

1、 The purpose and characteristics of rubber tubing
Rubber hose is a pipe fitting made of rubber, commonly used for transporting various liquids, gases, particles, etc. It has the characteristics of good flexibility, low resistance, corrosion resistance, and good heat resistance, and is widely used in fields such as petroleum, chemical, machinery, and construction.
2、 Factors affecting the lifespan of rubber hoses
1. Material: The material of the rubber tube determines its service life, and generally speaking, high-quality rubber tubes have a longer service life.
2. Temperature: The temperature resistance range of rubber pipes varies, and temperatures that are too high or too low can affect the service life of rubber pipes.
3. Pressure: The amount of pressure that the rubber tube is subjected to during use can also affect its lifespan.
4. Medium: The properties of the medium being transported can also affect the lifespan of rubber pipes, such as being prone to wear and tear when transporting high acid, high alkali, high temperature and other media.
3、 Service life of rubber hose
The service life of rubber pipes varies due to various factors. Generally speaking, with good quality and normal usage environment, the lifespan of rubber pipes can reach about 5 years. But if it is exposed to complex environments such as high temperature, high pressure, strong acidic and alkaline corrosive media for a long time, its service life will be greatly affected and it may fail within one year.
4、 Maintenance and upkeep of rubber hoses
To extend the service life of rubber hoses, it is recommended to pay attention to the following points during use:
1. Use strictly according to the product instructions;
2. Avoid prolonged exposure of rubber hoses to strong light and ultraviolet radiation, as this can cause rubber aging, cracking, and other phenomena;
3. Regularly clean the rubber hose;
4. Store in a ventilated and dry environment when not in use.

In summary, the lifespan of rubber pipes is influenced by various factors, and under normal circumstances, their service life can reach about 5 years. During use, paying attention to maintenance can effectively extend the service life of rubber hoses.
