Rubber steam hoses are used to safely transport steam and hot water for cleaning, heat-control, fire-prevention, food processing and other purposes in industrial applications. Steam hoses can safely transport high temperature and high pressure steam to various required locations to avoid steam leakage causing harm to personnel and equipment. Mainly used in chemical, petroleum, food processing, industrial cleaning and other industries.
As a manufacturer of various industrial hoses, Strongflex produces steam hoses with good high temperature resistance, flexibility and easy operation, and usually have a long service life due to its durability. We can provide sizes from 3/8”-4”, made of durable synthetic rubber EPDM. They have a high safety factor and the burst pressure is 10 times the normal working pressure.
Designed for harsh industrial environments, our EPDM steam hoses are a reliable solution for conveying saturated and superheated steam. Purchase our steam hoses and give you a safe solution for steam transportation.

EPDM Steam Hose Temperature
Steam hoses can be used in high-temperature and high-pressure environments. We can produce steam hoses in two temperature ranges. The general working temperature range is -40℃ (-40℉) to 170℃ (338℉) or 230℃ (446℉).
Steam Hose Working Pressure
Constant pressure: 17 bar/250 psi.
What is the best hose for steam?
EPDM steam hoses, PTFE, and flexible metal steam hoses are the best choices because of the material.

Steam hoses have good temperature and pressure resistance and need to have excellent corrosion resistance in certain chemical corrosion environments. EPDM rubber has good resistance to corrosion by chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and salts, so it is suitable for steam transportation in corrosive occasions.
steam hose application
Main Applications of Steam Hoses
The core application of steam hoses is to safely transport high-temperature, high-pressure steam, and their specific applications are found across a wide range of industries:
1. Industrial Transportation and Cleaning: Vehicle cleaning and exterior cleaning, ship decks, engine rooms, and other cleaning applications. Steam is delivered to various equipment and production lines in industries such as the chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, and food processing.
2. Manufacturing and Processing: Steam is delivered to equipment such as vulcanizers and molding machines for heating and vulcanization. Sterilization and steaming operations are performed in the food industry, where food-grade steam hoses are typically required.
3. Textile and Printing and Dyeing Industry: Steam is used to provide a heat source for equipment during dyeing, setting, and drying processes.
4. Pharmaceutical Industry: High-temperature steam sterilization of equipment, pipelines, and sterile areas.
5. Heating Companies and Power Plants: Steam is used for steam pipeline bypass, emergency discharge, or to transport steam between equipment.
Strongflex Steam Hose
What is a steam hose?
Steam hose is a hose used to transport steam, hot water and other high-temperature fluids, and is widely used in industrial production. It usually consists of an inner rubber layer, multiple winding layers and an outer rubber layer. The inner rubber layer and the outer rubber layer are made of synthetic rubber with excellent heat resistance, such as EPDM material. The middle layer is generally braided wire or braided steel wire to enhance the bearing pressure. Steam hoses are widely used in industrial fields, such as steam washing, heating, drying and industrial steam irons.
Advantages of Strongflex Steam Hose
(1) High temperature resistance: The steam hose can withstand the transmission of high-temperature steam and ensure long-term stable operation. Our steam hose can withstand a high temperature of 230°C, and the instantaneous temperature can reach 250°C.
(2) High pressure resistance: The steam hose has a high pressure bearing capacity and can ensure the stability and safety of steam transmission.
(3) Corrosion resistance: The steam hose has good corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of various chemicals.
(4) Easy installation: The steam hose has strong flexibility and plasticity, which is convenient for installation and maintenance.
How to choose the size of steam hoses?
It mainly depends on your purpose, the type of steam to be transported, which can be divided into saturated steam, wet steam and superheated steam, as well as the pressure and temperature that your project has to withstand.
What are the types of steam hoses?
Steam pipes can be divided into high pressure and low pressure steam hose. The working pressure of low pressure steam pipes is 6 bar. The structure of the steam pipe is EPDM inside and outside, with a layer of steel wire braided as the middle reinforcement layer. The temperature can reach 164℃. The working pressure of high pressure steam pipes is 18 bar. The structure of the steam pipe is EPDM inside and outside, with two layers of steel wire braided as the middle reinforcement layer. The temperature can reach 210℃. The safety factor of both is 10 times.
What material is recommended for steam hoses?
Synthetic rubber EPDM is recommended because it can withstand higher temperatures.
Why choose our steam hose?
The steam hoses we produce can not only smoothly and efficiently transport steam to the target location, meeting various heating needs from small heating equipment to large industrial production equipment, but also can withstand higher temperatures and pressures, providing safe and reliable steam transmission pipelines for projects.
Can a hydraulic hose be used for steam?
If high-temperature (>170°C) or high-pressure steam needs to be transported for a long time, it is recommended to directly use metal hoses (such as stainless steel) or professional high-temperature resistant steam hoses, and hydraulic hoses are not recommended.
