Description
Product details
Material: Liner: The hose features an inner liner made from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMP). UHMP is known for its superior chemical resistance, high impact strength, and low friction properties. This makes it highly suitable for transferring aggressive chemicals, acids, bases, and solvents. Reinforcement: Typically reinforced with layers of synthetic fiber or steel braiding. This reinforcement provides structural strength to handle high pressures and prevents collapse under suction conditions. Pressure Rating: Designed to handle high pressures, the hose generally has a working pressure rating (W.P.) that accommodates the demanding requirements of chemical handling. Specific pressure ratings can vary, so it’s essential to consult the manufacturer’s specifications for exact figures. Chemical Resistance: UHMP material offers excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including strong acids, bases, solvents, and corrosive substances. This resistance helps ensure the hose's longevity and prevents contamination of the conveyed fluids. Temperature Range: The hose operates effectively within a broad temperature range. UHMP can generally withstand temperatures from -40°C to +80°C (-40°F to +176°F), though this can vary based on specific product formulations and reinforcement types. Flexibility: UHMP hoses are designed to be highly flexible, which facilitates easier handling and installation. This flexibility reduces the risk of kinking or damage during use, making it ideal for applications that require maneuverability. Abrasion Resistance: The UHMP liner and often the outer cover provide excellent abrasion resistance. This durability is crucial for applications involving rough handling or abrasive materials. Outer Cover: The outer cover is usually made from a durable, protective material that resists environmental factors such as UV exposure, ozone, and weather conditions. It provides additional protection against mechanical damage and extends the hose's service life.
