How to maximise the lifespan and safety of steam hoses

19 November, 2024

Regular inspections are essential to maintaining steam hoses in good condition. Any issues encountered during routine checks should prompt immediate action to correct the problem. Steam hoses may sustain damage internally, which can be difficult to detect without professional help. Therefore, it is advisable to have hoses inspected regularly by specialists who can thoroughly examine and test them.

Steam hose tests should be conducted in accordance with ISO 6134 guidelines, which recommend a pressure test every six months. By adhering to these standards, businesses can ensure their hoses are safe and effective for use.
