In the demanding world of railway systems, fluid and air transfer components must endure extreme conditions—high-speed vibrations, temperature fluctuations (-60°C to +200°C), and strict safety regulations. Silicone hoses have emerged as the go-to solution for reliable performance in locomotives, high-speed trains, and rail infrastructure.
As a leading silicone hose manufacturer in China, we specialize in railway-grade hoses that meet EN 45545-2 fire safety standards and long-term durability requirements.
Key Challenges in Railway Fluid Transfer Systems
Railway applications demand hoses that can withstand:
✔ Extreme Temperatures – From freezing winters to scorching engine heat
✔ High-Pressure & Vibration – Constant movement without cracking or leaking
✔ Fire Safety Compliance – Low smoke, halogen-free materials for passenger safety
✔ Long Service Life – Minimizing maintenance and replacements
5 Reasons Why Railways Choose Our Silicone Hoses
1. Superior Temperature Resistance (-60°C to +200°C)
Unlike standard rubber hoses, our high-temperature silicone hoses remain flexible in sub-zero environments and resist degradation near engine components.
2. Anti-Vibration & Fatigue Resistance
Our reinforced fiber-braided layers prevent hose collapse or rupture under constant vibration—critical for high-speed trains.
Test Data: Using pulse testing equipment, simulating a 10-year vibration cycle shows that our hose has zero leakage.
3. EN 45545-2 for Rail Safety
Our hoses comply with:
-
EN 45545-2 (Fire protection for railway vehicles)
-
Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) standards
4. Customizable for Rail-Specific Needs
We offer:
-
Custom diameters, lengths, and fittings (quick-connect, flange, or threaded ends)
-
Color-coding options for easy maintenance identification
-
Pre-assembled hose kits for faster installation
5. Cost-Effective & Longer Lifespan
While initial costs may be slightly higher than rubber, our silicone hoses last 2-3x longer, reducing downtime and replacement costs.
Common Railway Applications
Our silicone hoses are trusted for:
🔹 Cooling Systems (Engine, HVAC, and transformer cooling)
🔹 Brake & Pneumatic Systems (Air supply lines, compressor connections)
🔹 Fuel & Oil Transfer (Resistant to diesel, lubricants, and hydraulic fluids)
🔹 Ventilation & Exhaust Systems (Heat-resistant ducting)
Upgrade your railway fluid systems with high-performance silicone hoses designed for durability and safety.
