A steam hose is a flexible tube designed to convey saturated steam or superheated steam in various industrial applications. Steam hoses are essential components in various industries where high-temperature steam is used for heating, cleaning, processing, and other applications. These hoses are designed to withstand the extreme heat and pressure of steam transport, ensuring safety and efficiency in operations.

 

Steam hoses are typically made of synthetic rubber or EPDM or other heat-resistant materials to withstand temperatures ranging from 150°C to 230°C or even higher, depending on the application requirements. They also need to handle high pressure, often rated for pressures of around 250 psi to 450 psi. They are reinforced with multiple layers of high-strength materials like steel wire or textile to handle the high-pressure demands of steam systems.

 

Steam hoses are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, food processing, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, refineries, and more. They are used for conveying steam for heating, cleaning, processing, and power generation applications.

 

 When selecting a steam hose, make sure to consider factors like temperature, pressure rating, hose size, end fittings compatibility, and the specific requirements of your application to ensure optimal performance and safety. Proper maintenance of steam hoses involves periodic inspections for wear, tear, cracks, and other signs of damage. Hoses should be stored properly in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
