What is the electrostatic discharge and flame retardant performance of hydraulic oil hoses?

In hydraulic systems, hydraulic oil hoses are responsible for transporting high-pressure liquids, which are often flammable and explosive. Therefore, hydraulic oil hoses may face the risk of static electricity accumulation and fire and explosion during use. To address these potential safety hazards, the design and material selection of hydraulic oil hoses must fully consider electrostatic discharge and flame retardant properties.
In the case of high-speed liquid flow, static electricity may be generated inside the hose, resulting in electrostatic discharge. In this case, if the static discharge from the hose cannot be effectively dissipated, a fire or explosion may occur. Therefore, to reduce the risk of static electricity build-up and discharge, hydraulic oil hoses are designed to be anti-static. This includes covering the inside or outside of the hose with a conductive layer or adding antistatic materials so that static electricity can be effectively dissipated, thereby reducing the potential for electrostatic discharge.
The flame retardant properties of hydraulic oil hoses are also critical. In high temperature and high pressure environments, hoses may face the risk of fire, so they need to have good flame retardant properties. This is to ensure that the hydraulic oil hose can effectively prevent the spread of fire when attacked by fire and ensure the safe operation of the hydraulic system.
