Metal hose storage introduction

Metal hose is widely used in machine tools, machinery and equipment, electrical equipment, catering equipment, automation machinery, micro motors, air-conditioning refrigerator, automotive wiring harness, to protect the wire and cable from external wear and insulation. Metal hose as an important general accessories in various industries of machinery and equipment, in order to seek a longer service life of equipment, of course, need to understand the storage of metal hose knowledge.
1 . Storage life: should be as short as possible to shorten the storage time; can take "first in first out" cycle method. If you need to extend the storage time, such as a year, the hose should be checked before use
2 . Ozone: ozone will damage the rubber material, storage environment can not exist in any ozone-releasing substances, such as mercury lamps, mercury tubes, high-voltage electrical equipment motors and other substances that may produce small sparks and electrostatic induction.
3 . Metal hose storage environment: all fittings including hoses must not be exposed to or in contact with solvents, fuels, oil, grease, volatiles, acids, disinfectants, etc.. In addition, copper, iron and manganese and other metal materials can also damage the rubber.
4 . Heat sources: The storage location should be kept at a sufficient distance from heat sources (including heat generating equipment) to meet temperature specifications. If it is not possible to maintain sufficient distance should be placed insulation board.
5 . Electric field and magnetic field: storage place must not have electromagnetic field changes, electric field or magnetic field changes will make the hose wind metal coil to produce current, resulting in hose heating. Can produce such strong electric and magnetic fields such as: high-voltage cables and high-frequency generators.
6 . Metal hose storage conditions: the hose should not be stored artificial factors compression, stretching or excessive deformation. Do not contact with any sharp metal. Stored in dry environmental conditions, such as conditions should be separated from the area of storage. Hose should be stored flat when crowned and rolled, should not be stacked on top of each other. If you need to stack, stacking height should not exceed the limit, should avoid the lower layer of hose under pressure to produce deformation. The heavier quality of the product should be placed below, lighter can be placed above. The radius of curvature of coiling should not exceed the radius of curvature of the product quality standard. Do not hang the coiled hose on the hook. Straight hoses should be placed flat and not folded.
7 . Out of the warehouse: should ensure that the hose out of the warehouse intact, in line with the conditions of use. Therefore, different hoses should be marked accordingly. Special circumstances such as hose stored for a long time, the metal tube head should be carefully checked before leaving the warehouse.
8 . Return to storage: before the hose is returned to storage, should ensure that there is no residual transmission material inside. If the transmission of substances for chemical substances such as; explosives, flammable, corrosive substances, should take special inspection. At the end of the cleaning work, before storage should check whether the hose is intact to ensure normal use in the future.
 
The above content mainly from the storage life, storage environment, storage conditions and other situations in-depth analysis of metal hose storage, more effective protection of metal hose life and its equipment use. For this reason, the need to do a good job of corrugated metal hose out of storage, back to the storage work.
