Description
Product details
Material: Inner Liner: Made from PTFE, a high-performance fluoropolymer known for its chemical resistance, non-reactivity, and high-temperature tolerance. PTFE’s low friction properties ensure smooth fluid flow and minimal pressure drop. Reinforcement: Typically reinforced with stainless steel braiding or other high-strength materials. This reinforcement adds mechanical strength, helps the hose withstand higher pressures, and provides durability against external damage. Outer Cover: The outer cover is often made from additional layers of protective material, such as a rubber or thermoplastic compound, which enhances abrasion resistance and protects the hose from environmental factors. Pressure Rating: Working Pressure: PTFE gas hoses are designed to handle a range of pressures, from low to high, depending on the hose construction and application requirements. Typical working pressures can vary from 10 bar to 50 bar (approximately 150 psi to 725 psi), with some designs accommodating higher pressures. Temperature Range: Operating Temperature: PTFE hoses can operate effectively across a wide temperature range, from -70°C to +260°C (-94°F to +500°F), making them suitable for extreme temperature conditions. Chemical Resistance: Compatibility: PTFE’s inherent chemical resistance makes these hoses ideal for handling gases that are corrosive, reactive, or otherwise harsh. They are compatible with a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, solvents, and gases. Flexibility: Bending Radius: Designed to be flexible while maintaining durability, allowing for easier routing and installation in various setups. The flexibility can depend on the reinforcement and outer cover used. Safety Features: Reinforcement: Stainless steel or other high-strength reinforcement layers help prevent hose collapse under vacuum conditions and provide burst resistance. Compliance: Often manufactured to meet specific industry standards and regulations for gas handling and safety.
