Petroleum gas has a corrosive effect on ordinary rubber pipes and is easy to cause air leakage. So, what kind of hose must be used?

Answer:

Petroleum gas is corrosive to ordinary rubber pipes and gaskets and easy to cause air leakage. Therefore, it is necessary to use rubber pipes and gaskets with strong oil resistance
These gases on the rubber has a certain corrosion, swelling (not resistant to oil will speed up swelling), aging effect, liquefied petroleum, so choose rubber seal to consider oil resistance, corrosion resistance, swelling.
In order to remind people of the leakage of liquefied petroleum gas in a timely manner, the processing plant often mixes a small amount of foul odor mercaptan or thioether compounds into liquefied petroleum gas, which is the source of special odor.
