Description
Product details
Material: Inner Liner: Made from PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), a high-performance fluoropolymer known for its exceptional chemical resistance, non-stick properties, and high-temperature stability. Convoluted Construction: The hose features a corrugated or convoluted structure, which means it has a series of alternating ridges and grooves along its length. This design enhances flexibility and allows the hose to bend and flex without kinking. Reinforcement: Typically reinforced with stainless steel braid or other high-strength materials. This reinforcement provides strength, burst resistance, and durability, and helps the hose withstand high pressures and external forces. Outer Cover: Often includes an additional protective outer cover made from materials such as rubber or thermoplastic. This cover protects the hose from abrasion, environmental factors, and other external damage. Pressure Rating: Working Pressure: PTFE convoluted hoses are designed to handle a range of pressures, usually from 10 bar to 40 bar (approximately 150 psi to 580 psi), depending on the specific construction and application. Temperature Range: Operating Temperature: Capable of operating effectively across a wide temperature range, from -70°C to +260°C (-94°F to +500°F). This makes them suitable for extreme temperature conditions. Chemical Resistance: Compatibility: PTFE is highly resistant to a broad spectrum of chemicals, including acids, bases, solvents, and gases. The convoluted design adds additional flexibility while maintaining chemical resistance. Flexibility: Bending Radius: The convoluted structure allows the hose to flex and bend easily, accommodating tight spaces and complex routing without compromising performance. The hose’s flexibility is enhanced by its corrugated design. Safety Features: Reinforcement: The stainless steel or high-strength reinforcement helps prevent hose collapse under vacuum conditions and ensures durability against high pressures. Compliance: Often manufactured to meet specific industry standards and regulations for chemical handling and safety. Applications:
