  • Publication number: 20230407997
    Abstract: To provide a laminated hose capable of achieving both pressure-resistant performance and oscillating durability performance. The laminated hose (1) comprises a plurality of reinforcing layers (12) laminated to the hose body (11), and each of the plurality of reinforcing layers (12) includes a reinforcing wire (13). A wire density (?) of the reinforcing layer (12) in all of the plurality of reinforcing layers (12) is 90% or more and less than 96%.

  • Publication number: 20220316979
    Abstract: A method and system for easily predicting a remaining lifetime of a hose are provided. A hose remaining lifetime prediction method and a hose remaining lifetime prediction system, for predicting a remaining lifetime of a hose 1 in use, include obtaining in advance, for a hose of the same type, relationship between use time of an inner tubular rubber layer 11 at a reference temperature and a physical property value of rubber forming the inner tubular rubber layer 11, generating a thermal degradation model for the inner tubular rubber layer 11, calculating, for the hose 1 in use, reference temperature use time being use time of the inner tubular rubber layer 11 at the reference temperature until a time of the prediction, and predicting the remaining lifetime of the hose 1 in use, based on comparison between the reference temperature use time and the thermal degradation model.

  • Patent number: 10605693
    Abstract: Provided is a reaction force measuring device comprising: a receiving portion 12; a movable portion 13 arranged in a manner spaced from the receiving portion 12 and capable of moving toward the receiving portion 12, the movable portion having a sandwiching space a formed between itself and the receiving portion 12, into which sandwiching space a hose H can be inserted from a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of the hose; and a measuring portion 14 configured to measure a reaction force of the hose H generated when the hose is pressed and applied with a load as the movable portion 13 moves toward the receiving portion 12.

  • Publication number: 20200011456
    Abstract: To provide a belt-shaped fabric for hose and a hose capable of achieving an improvement in terms of workability during hose production. When spirally winding a belt-shaped fabric 14 for covering around the outer periphery of an inner tube rubber 12, and covering the outer side thereof with wire 16 and rubber 18, at least a portion of the fiber forming the belt-shaped fabric 14 is covered with rubber cement 24, whereby weave deviation is not easily generated even when the belt-shaped fabric 14 is spirally wound for covering around the outer periphery of the inner tube rubber 12. In the case where the fiber of the belt-shaped fabric 14 is impregnated with a dip liquid, the dip liquid is not easily exposed to the oxygen in the air, so that it is possible to suppress deterioration of the dip liquid.

  • Patent number: 10006843
    Abstract: Provided is a method for predicting the remaining life of a hose and a method for diagnosing the deterioration level of a hose that can be easily performed without breaking the hose. The disclosure includes: a testing step of performing a hose bending test; and a predicting step of predicting the remaining life of a hose subject to prediction, wherein during the hose bending test, either a value of an external force required to displace a hose portion in a direction of the external force by a predetermined displacement amount, or a value of a displacement amount in a direction of the external force of the hose portion when the external force of a predetermined magnitude is exerted on the hose portion is measured, and the measured value is obtained as the test result.
