Buckley Industrial is a privately owned business and has been in operation since 1990. Their business specialises in the inspection, testing and manufacturing of hoses for numerous industries such as food processing, paper and petrochemical, power generation and chemical, in the UK and Europe.
Their state of the art hose testing and inspection facilities are able to detect any unforeseen accidents and leakages with their advanced pressure testing facilities.
You may be wondering why hoses need to be tested? Well a burst hose can cause many environment issues, such as unwanted emissions; personal health & safety problems, and it could also be a financial burden to a company if the burst hose causes outages which would mean loss of production until the problem is sorted.
Their high tech testing facilities puts the hose through a series of tests. This includes an initial visual hose inspection; this can detect corrosive damage, wear and tear and any mechanical damage. The next test involves a Hydrostatic test; this is a high pressure test which takes the pressure of water to the max value specified by the hose manufacture. An internal inspection is then carried out using a videoscope, which is capable of picking up a hole no bigger than a pin head. After testing hoses are assembled and packaged.
All hoses that are produced at Buckley Industrial are given a unique serial number, so they can be tracked from the day they leave the factory to the day they retire. This enables efficient recall for inspection and testing if need be.
As well as the maintenance of hoses, Buckly Industrial also produces a wide range of hose couplings, fittings and various hoses from metallic stainless steel braided hoses to rubber, pvc, composite and hydraulic.

Hose should not be subjected to any form of abuse in service. It should be handled with reasonable care. Hose should not be dragged over sharp or abrasive surfaces unless specifically designed for such service.Care should be taken to protect hose from severe end loads for which the hose or hose assembly were not designed. Hose should be used at or below its rated working pressure; any changes in pressure should be made gradually so as to not subject the hose to excessive surge pressures.Nice information.
