Ensuring Hydraulic Safety with Protective Sleeving

Ensuring Hydraulic Safety: The Critical Role of Webbing Products Protective Sleeving in Pinhole and Burst Suppression

PROTECTIVE SLEEVING

🌟 Hydraulic systems are the lifeblood of industries but can be hazardous when they fail. Best practice is for the installation of woven protective sleeving over the hydraulic hoses as a first line of defense. Our testing shows that many sleeves supplied into industry fail to offer the promised protection in pinhole and burst suppression.  If you want to ensure your employees’ safety and avoid the risk of legal liability for injuries, then ensure your sleeving does what the manufacturer says it will. Webbing Products rigorous in-house testing ensures our sleeving is top of class and what we sample is what you will get.  

🔍 Pinhole suppression is your first line of defense against those inconspicuous leaks that can wreak havoc, compromising efficiency and increasing maintenance costs.

⚠️ Pinhole leaks within hydraulic hoses are a hidden hazard, often going unnoticed until it’s too late. This can lead to serious consequences for operators.

💥 Burst suppression is your last line of defense against catastrophic hose bursts, ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment.

🧐 While others make claims, our high-pressure tests prove the reliability of Webbing Products Protective Sleeving.

⚙️ Quality and integrity matter when it comes to protective sleeving. Regular inspections and investing in top-notch materials are non-negotiable for ensuring the safety and reliability of your hydraulic systems.

👷 Let’s prioritize safety in every hydraulic operation. The stakes are too high to ignore the importance of protective sleeving.

Launch of new line-of-sight protective sleeving

WEBBING NEWS

LAUNCH OF NEW LINE OF SIGHT PROTECTIVE SLEEVING

NEW PRODUCT ANNOUCEMENT

Webbing Products is pleased to announce the launch of its new high performance line-of-sight protective sleeving range.

The new line-of-sight range raises the bar in terms of performance over its existing protective sleeving range. This specialist product improves on the levels of resistance in terms of abrasion but more importantly provides higher levels of protection against both burst and pin hole resistance and exceeds the requirements for line-of-sight operator protection (EN982, EN414, EN ISO Regulation 3457:2008).

The sleeve is designed to contain the damage relating to a burst or pin hole and to allow the excess hydraulic fluid to seep through the sleeve and slowly escape the hydraulic system. This prevents further pressure build up and alerts the user of damage to the hydraulic hose.

The use of dope dyed yarns together with specialised weaving and finishing applications provides for a superior product providing amongst the best protection available. The products provide good resistance to chemical and other contaminants.

The range is available in a wide variety of widths in:

  • flame retardant polyester
  • flame retardant and anti-static polyester
  • flame retardant nylon
  • flame retardant and anti-static nylon

Thus ensuring the availability of products to best suit the requirements of the end user.

MSHA approved and MSTC compliant, the range is suitable for a wide range of applications.

Key features and benefits

  • Manufactured from densely woven polyester or twisted nylon.
  • Specifically designed to safely allow hydraulic fluid to escape after containing damage caused by burst or pin hole.
  • MSHA approved and MSTC compliant.
  • Meets line-of-sight operator protection per EN982, EN414 and EN ISO Regulation 3457
  • UV, abrasion and wear resistant.
  • Meets flame retardancy standard ISO 8030.
  • Meets abrasion standard ISO 6805.
  • Antistatic versions meet conductivity standard ISO 8031.

HYDRAULIC HOSE PROTECTIVE SLEEVING HIGH PRESSURE TEST

Protective Sleeving

DEMONSTRATED PROTECTION OFFERED BY WEBBING PRODUCTS PROTECTIVE SLEEVING

Webbing Products have specifically developed the protective sleeving range to be used in various industrial hydraulic hose applications to ensure protection in the mining industry.

Our protective sleeving is designed to disperse high-pressure pin hole bursts or failures experienced by hydraulic hoses as well as to limit damage from such failures. The sleeving is designed to allow dispersed fluid to weep through the sleeving and the channel end clamps to prevent dangerous build-up of pressure and to visibly warn operators of a malfunction.

Webbing Products utilise two high-pressure tests, burst and pinhole, to support the quality of their hydraulic hose protective sleeving.

Webbing Products’ protective sleeving has been put to the test in a simulated high-pressure hydraulic hose failure, demonstrating the protection offered against damage from a burst or pinhole. Similarly, various competitor sleeving has also been tested with the Webbing Products’ protective sleeving far outperforming the competitor products.

Webbing Products’ protective sleeving has been subjected to pressures of 400 bar (5 800 Psi) and 700 bar (10 150 Psi) from a 1mm jet of fluid while safely diffusing the fluid energy. It is important to note that the use of the correct sleeving size is critical to ensuring the correct fluid dispersal.

PROTECTIVE SLEEVING – FEATURES

Protective Sleeving

Our Powerite® Protective Sleeving undergoes vigorous testing to ensure it meets the highest exacting specifications for industrial applications and includes the following features and benefits:

PIN HOLE AND BURST RESISTANCE

The Powerite® protective sleeving is designed to disperse high pressure pin hole bursts or failure experienced by hydraulic hoses as well as to limit damage from such failures. The sleeving is designed to allow dispersed fluid to weep through the sleeving and the channel end clamps to prevent dangerous build-up of pressure and to visibly warn operators of a malfunction.

Powerite® protective sleeving has been subjected to pressures of 400 bar (5 800 Psi) from a 1mm jet of fluid while safely diffusing the fluid energy.It is important to note that the use of the correct sleeving size is critical to ensuring the correct fluid dispersal.

ABRASION RESISTANCE

The combination of materials utilised, product design and tight weave provide the Powerite® protective sleeving with excellent abrasion resistance perfectly suited to protect hosing applications in harsh environments, while still allowing for ease of use given the flexible nature of the textile.

The Powerite® protective sleeving provides superior results and is tested to and conforms to the requirements of ISO 6945. When tested, the sleeving endured in excess of 150 000 cycles without perforation.

The Powerite® protective sleeving also experienced no loss of material when measured in terms of ISO 6805. ISO 6805 requires the sleeving to have achieved no loss of material greater than 1 gram when subjected to an applied load on the blade for 2 000 cycles.

When tested against the seat belt abrasion standard SAE J386, the Powerite® protective sleeving conformed to the test requirements after exceeding 75 000 cycles and maintains its excellent flame retardant and anti-static properties.

Protective Sleeving

FLAME RETARDANCY

The Powerite® protective sleeving exceeds the performance levels required in terms of ISO 6805 when tested to ISO 8030 and self-extinguishes in less than 30 seconds.

It also meets the requirements of MDG41 for use in underground coal mines.

Powerite® protective sleeving has received Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) approval for flame resistance. Approval numbers IC-319/1 and IC-319/2.

ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY

When tested in accordance with ISO 8031, the Powerite® protective sleeving achieves excellent results, well below one mega ohm per meter and as such provides an outstanding rationale for use within many applications, and specifically, within the underground coal mining industry.

Powerite® protective sleeving easily complies with both the requirements of ISO 6805 and MDG41, being less than two mega ohm and one mega ohm per meter respectively.
