What Should Be Noted When Storing Spare Rotary Joints
Jan 30, 2024
When producing and selling rotary joints, we all know that there will be production and transportation time when purchasing joints, especially for some customized and infrequently used styles. Over the years, it has been proven that many customers
In order to avoid downtime affecting production during the replacement of rotary joints, additional orders will be placed for stocking beyond the quantity required for procurement. So how should customers store rotary joints when they choose inventory for backup? This also has skills.

The process of storing rotary joints requires attention to the following:
1. During the transportation of the rotary joint, it is important to handle it with care and avoid bumping to prevent damage to the internal components of the rotary joint.
2. When storing, rotate the joint left and right according to the category and production date, and place it in different categories (labeled according to material quality, appearance, used parts, purchase date, etc.).
3. Due to the fact that most joints are made of materials such as cast iron, carbon steel, and copper, long-term storage should pay attention to dust and rust prevention measures.
4. The storage of metal hoses is connected between the rotary joint and the equipment using metal hoses, and the storage of metal hoses cannot be ignored. Before installing the rotary joint, it is necessary to maintain cleanliness, especially when there are no impurities entering the pipeline. To clean the metal hose, first use a toothpick to remove the accumulated dust and debris inside the hose, then wipe it with a damp cloth. Then, place the cleaned metal hose in a cool and ventilated place for drying, and do not expose it to direct sunlight.
5. Place in a location that is away from light and moisture, away from cold and heat sources, flat to prevent aging, and to maintain a natural relaxed state of the sealing components. Most joints contain sealing components made of rubber products, and long-term placement can cause them to oxidize and age, especially in environments that are too hot or frequently exposed to sunlight.
