What must hose and metallic hose be resistant to?

Hoses and metallic hoses used in the context of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) systems must be resistant to corrosion and the specific actions of CNG. This is critical because CNG can cause certain materials to degrade over time, reducing their effectiveness and potentially leading to leaks or failure of the hose system.

Corrosion resistance is particularly important since these hoses may be exposed to various environmental conditions, including moisture and contaminants that can lead to corrosion. Additionally, CNG itself can interact with the materials of the hoses; therefore, ensuring that hoses are designed to withstand such chemical interactions is vital for safety and reliability.

While other factors such as weather conditions, mechanical abrasion, and deformation under high pressure are important to consider in hose applications, the unique characteristics of CNG and its corrosive properties make resistance to corrosion and CNG interactions paramount for the effectiveness and longevity of hoses used in these systems.
