EPDM Steam Hose

Marine Rubber Hose – EPDM Hose

EPDM steam hose is specifically engineered to transport superheated steam, making them suitable for various marine industry applications. This rubber hose can withstand high temperatures and pressures associated with steam transfer, ensuring safe and efficient operations on ships, vessels, and offshore installations.

The EPDM hose is designed to handle the transportation of superheated steam, typically up to a maximum temperature of 220°C (428°F). They provide reliable performance even at constant temperatures of up to 170°C (338°F). The EPDM construction ensures excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, making them suitable for demanding marine environments.

EPDM Steam Hose Construction

The construction of the hose made with EPDM includes the following components:

• Inner Tube: The inner tube of the steam hose is made of black high tensile EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) synthetic rubber. EPDM rubber is known for its excellent heat resistance and can withstand high temperatures associated with steam transfer.
• Reinforcement: The EPDM hose is reinforced with one or two layers of high tensile steel wire braids. These braids provide strength, stability, and durability to the hose, enabling it to handle high-pressure steam applications.
• Cover: The cover of the EPDM hose is made of either black or red weather and abrasion-resistant high tensile synthetic EPDM rubber. The cover protects the hose from external factors such as weather conditions, abrasion, and general wear and tear.

EPDM Steam Hose For Shipyards

EPDM steam hoses are utilized in shipyards for various applications involving steam. Here are some common uses of these rubber hoses in shipyard environments:

• Equipment Cleaning: EPDM hose is employed for steam cleaning operations in shipyards. They deliver high-temperature steam to effectively remove dirt, grease, and contaminants from equipment, machinery, and surfaces. This helps maintain cleanliness and hygiene and ensures optimal performance of the equipment.
• Tank Cleaning: The steam hose made with EPDM is used for tank cleaning in shipyards. They provide a means to deliver superheated steam to clean and remove residues, sludge, and other contaminants from tanks, preparing them for cargo, inspection, or maintenance purposes.
• Surface Preparation: This type of rubber hose is utilized for surface preparation tasks in shipyards. The high-temperature steam helps strip old paint layers, rust, and corrosion from surfaces, preparing them for repainting, coating, or maintenance.
• Heat Applications: EPDM Steam Hoses are suitable for heat-related applications in shipyards. They can supply superheated steam for heating purposes, such as heating tanks, pipelines, or spaces during construction, repair, or maintenance processes.
• Welding Preheating: The EPDM hose is utilized for preheating in welding operations in shipyards. Preheating the materials with steam helps ensure proper weld quality and reduces the risk of cracking or other welding defects.
• Steam-Powered Equipment: EPDM hoses are used to supply steam to various steam-powered tools and equipment in shipyards. These include steam-driven pumps, winches, and machinery that rely on steam for operation.
