How to properly maintain and service the Air Hose?

Air Hose is an indispensable and important part of pneumatic tools and equipment. Its performance directly affects the efficiency and safety of the pneumatic system. In order to extend the service life of the air hose and ensure its efficient performance during work, correct maintenance and care are essential.

1. Regular inspection
Regular inspection of the air hose is an important part of maintenance. It is recommended that users check the air hose every week or before and after each use, paying attention to the following aspects.
Appearance inspection: Observe whether the air hose has obvious wear, cracks or deformation, especially at the joints and bends.
Leak detection: Apply soapy water to the surface of the joint and air hose, and observe whether bubbles are generated to confirm whether there is a leak.
Connection tightening: Check the tightening of the connection to ensure that the connection is firm and not loose, and avoid gas leakage caused by improper connection.

2. Correct storage
The storage method of the air hose has a direct impact on its durability. The correct storage method is as follows.
Avoid high temperature environment: Store the air hose in a cool and dry place, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environment to prevent material aging.
Avoid squeezing: Avoid putting the air hose under heavy objects during storage to prevent deformation or damage.
Use a hose reel: If the air hose is long, it is recommended to use a hose reel or bracket to roll up the air hose neatly to prevent entanglement and wear.

3. Clean the air hose
Keeping the air hose clean helps improve its efficiency. The cleaning steps are as follows.
Regular cleaning: Depending on the usage, regularly use clean water or detergent to clean the inside of the air hose to remove accumulated dirt and oil.
Drying: After cleaning, ensure that the air hose is completely dry before storing to avoid mold or corrosion caused by moisture.

4. Correct use
The correctness of the use method directly affects the durability of the air hose. When using the air hose, pay attention to the following matters.
Avoid overpressure use: Use strictly in accordance with the rated pressure range of the air hose to avoid exceeding the maximum pressure to prevent the air hose from rupturing.
Reasonable layout: During use, avoid placing the air hose next to sharp objects to reduce the risk of wear and scratches.
Control temperature: Try to avoid using the air pipe in extreme temperatures, especially in high or low temperature environments, so as not to affect the performance of the material.

5. Regular replacement
Although good maintenance can extend the service life of the air pipe, all materials have a certain service life. When the air pipe is found to have obvious wear, cracks or air leakage, it should be replaced in time to ensure the safety and reliability of the pneumatic system.

6. Prevent chemical damage
The air pipe may be exposed to various chemicals during use, which may cause damage to the air pipe. Therefore, when the air pipe is used and stored, it should be avoided from contact with oils, solvents or corrosive chemicals. Choosing a chemical-resistant material air pipe is also an effective preventive measure.
