Product Description
Steam rubber hoses are hoses made from rubber that are designed to handle high-temperature steam. These hoses are commonly used in industrial settings where steam is used for various applications, such as in steam boilers, steam engines, and other steam-powered equipment.Steam rubber hoses are designed to withstand high-pressure steam and hot water. They are typically made from synthetic rubber materials that are heat-resistant, such as EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber or silicone rubber. These materials can handle temperatures up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and pressures up to 250 psi.
Steam rubber hoses come in different sizes and lengths to fit various applications. They are often reinforced with layers of fabric or wire to add strength and durability, and may also have a smooth or corrugated inner surface to reduce friction and improve flow.
Technical Details 
Robust Construction for Demanding EnvironmentsThese steam hoses feature a high tensile synthetic ply reinforcement and steel wire helix, ensuring structural integrity and flexibility. The EPDM cover provides excellent resistance to abrasion and ozone, making them suitable for harsh industrial conditions. Choose from a smooth or wrapped finish to best suit your application.
Flexible Sizing and Secure ConnectionsAvailable with inside diameters ranging from 13 mm to 100 mm and outside diameters from 25 mm to 120 mm, the hoses can be customized for specific requirements. Threaded, flanged, or plain end connections ensure compatibility with a wide range of steam equipment, providing secure and leak-free operations.
Certified Safety and Electrical ConductivityComplying with IS 10655/BS EN 6134 standards, these hoses offer assured safety and reliability. The design ensures electrical conductivity, reducing the risk of static discharge during operation, which is critical for steam transfer in sensitive industrial settings.
FAQs of Steam Rubber Hoses:
Q: How do Steam Rubber Hoses benefit operations in refineries and chemical plants?
A: Steam Rubber Hoses reliably deliver both saturated and superheated steam, helping maintain process efficiency and safety. Their excellent abrasion and ozone resistance, combined with robust reinforcement, ensure a long service life under rigorous conditions found in refineries and chemical plants.
Q: What is the recommended pressure range and bursting capacity for these hoses?
A: These hoses are designed for operating pressures between 10 and 17 Bar, with a maximum bursting pressure up to 50 Bar. This high safety margin ensures that the hoses perform well under typical steam transfer conditions.
Q: When should I consider using a flanged end connection over a threaded one?
A: Flanged end connections are recommended for more secure, heavy-duty, and frequent connect/disconnect operations or where a leak-proof seal is critical. Threaded connections suit compact or lighter-duty arrangements and situations requiring easy installation and removal.
Q: Where can these steam hoses be used?
A: They are widely used in industries such as refineries, chemical plants, shipyards, and steel manufacturing facilitiesanywhere the safe transfer of steam is required under harsh operational environments.
Q: What material and reinforcement provide the hoses with their durability?
A: Constructed with an EPDM black cover and reinforced with high-tensile synthetic plies and a steel wire helix, these hoses offer excellent durability, flexibility, and resistance against abrasion, ozone, and high temperatures.
Q: How do I ensure safe and effective usage of steam rubber hoses?
A: Regularly inspect hoses for signs of wear and verify that they meet the operating pressure and temperature requirements. Always use the correct end connection and installation method as per application needs, and follow relevant safety protocols in steam handling.
