Fluids subjected to heat in confined spaces, including hoses, can create a rapid rise in
pressure due to the thermal expansion. Over-pressurization can result in equipment
rupture and serious injury.
• Open a valve to relieve the fluid expansion during heating.
• Replace hoses proactively at regular intervals based on your operating conditions.
