Application and precautions of sandblasting hose in shipbuilding and offshore engineering


1) Application fields:

Sandblast hoses play an indispensable role in the field of ships and offshore engineering. From the regular maintenance of ships to the construction of offshore facilities, sandblast hoses play a key role. It is mainly used in the following aspects: 

1. Cleaning and maintenance of ship surfaces

During the long-term operation of ships, dirt, oil, marine biological attachments and old coatings are easily accumulated on the surface of the hull. These pollutants not only affect the beauty of the ship, but may also cause corrosion to the hull, thereby affecting the service life and safety of the ship. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly sandblast the surface of the ship. The sandblasting hose can quickly remove these pollutants by spraying abrasive particles at high speed, so that the surface of the hull can be restored to its original gloss and smoothness, providing a good foundation for subsequent coating.

2. Construction and maintenance of offshore facilities

During the construction of offshore facilities such as offshore platforms and drilling equipment, metal surfaces need to be welded, painted, etc. However, these metal surfaces often have pollutants such as rust and oil, which will affect the welding quality and the adhesion of the coating. Therefore, the metal surface needs to be sandblasted before construction. In addition, during the use of offshore facilities, they also need to be sandblasted and maintained regularly to ensure their normal operation and extend their service life.

3. Cleaning the inside of the pipeline

In ships and offshore projects, pipelines are the main channels for transporting liquids and gases. However, these pipelines are prone to accumulate sediments, oil stains, and biological fouling during use. These foulings will affect the flow and performance of the pipeline, and even cause blockage and corrosion. Using a sandblasting hose can efficiently clean the inside of the pipeline, remove these dirt, and restore the smooth flow and performance of the pipeline.

4. Rust removal and cleaning of special parts

In ships and offshore projects, some special parts such as anchor chains and propellers are prone to rust and accumulate dirt. The cleaning and maintenance of these parts are essential to ensure the safety and reliability of ships and offshore facilities. Using a sandblasting hose can remove rust and clean these special parts, remove rust and dirt, and restore their original performance and appearance.

2). Precautions

When using sandblast hoses for sandblasting operations in the field of ships and offshore engineering, the following points should be noted:

1. Safe operation: Operators must strictly abide by the safety operating procedures and wear protective equipment such as goggles, earplugs, gloves, etc. to ensure personal safety.

2. Hose selection: Select the appropriate sandblasting hose specifications and models according to the operating requirements and environmental conditions to ensure that the hose can meet the working requirements.

3. Hose inspection: Before and during use, the appearance, joints and internal conditions of the hose should be checked regularly to ensure that the hose is not damaged or leaking.

4. Avoid excessive bending: During the operation, excessive bending of the hose should be avoided to avoid internal damage or deformation of the hose.

5. Pay attention to environmental protection: Sandblasting operations will generate a lot of dust and waste, and effective measures should be taken to collect and treat them to avoid pollution to the environment.
