What is the main cause of hose bursts?

Aug 25, 2023

Most quality problems occur in the kitchen, bathroom or laundry.

While it is recognized that braided stainless steel is the best option solution for corrosion resistance, better solutions may be needed in specific areas.


In some cases, even high-quality AISI 304 stainless steel braided wire is prone to pitting corrosion, which ultimately leads to burst pipes for the following reasons:

1. Household cleaning products placed under the sink are too close to the braided hose, and the detergent components can then invade the metal leading to corrosion.

2, exposed to a salt water environment (coastal areas), the

3, hot water pipe due to the temperature rise, pipe expansion and stretching, coupled with corrosion, directly resulting in pipe burst.

 

Hazards of corrosion on metal hose

Metal corrosion significantly reduces the mechanical properties of metal materials such as strength, plasticity, and toughness, destroys the geometry of metal components, and increases wear and tear between parts. This can cause the performance of the metal pipe to drop dramatically, causing leaks. If not detected in time, the leakage of the pipe body will become bigger and bigger.

With the policy of creating value for customers, we insists on analyzing and researching the causes of quality problems in the market and proposing solutions accordingly.

 

For the first time, our ACB (Anti-Corrosion-Braiding) braided series has passed the DVGW certification based on the European EN-13618 specification. ACB braided pipes have excellent corrosion resistance, capable of remaining uncorroded in salt spray (a corrosion test) for more than 96 hours, and the surface metal material meets the AASS- added in the new national standard. 24 H9 test.
