Risks of too small bending radius for high temp pressure washer hose

In high pressure cleaning equipment, high temp pressure washer hose is responsible for transmitting high pressure and high temperature water flow to complete cleaning tasks. When this hose is subjected to too small bending radius during use, it will face a series of potential risks, which will not only affect the normal operation of the equipment, but also pose a safety threat to the operator.
Too small bending radius will cause uneven pressure distribution inside the hose, increasing the risk of hose rupture. When high pressure water flows through a sharply curved hose, it will produce additional stress concentration points, which are easy to become the source of hose damage. Once the hose breaks, the high pressure water flow will be sprayed out uncontrollably, which may not only damage the object being cleaned, but also cause harm to the surrounding personnel.
Too small bending radius will also affect the service life of the hose. During long-term use, the hose will experience repeated bending and stretching, which will accelerate the fatigue and aging of the hose material. When the hose works under too small a bending radius, the speed of this fatigue and aging will be further accelerated, causing the hose to fail prematurely.
Too small bending radius may also affect the flow rate and pressure stability of the water flow. The hose will generate a certain resistance when it is bent, and this resistance will increase as the bending radius decreases. When the bending radius is too small, the resistance will increase significantly, resulting in a decrease in the flow rate and pressure of water flowing through the hose, thus affecting the cleaning effect. Therefore, when using the high-temperature pressure washer hose, care must be taken to avoid a too small bending radius. The operator should ensure that the hose maintains the appropriate curvature during connection and use, and avoid excessive bending or twisting.
