Selecting a Chemical Hose

When it comes to selecting a chemical hose, it's essential to consider the chemical resistance of the material. The type of medium, concentration, temperature, and working pressure all play a role in the chemical resistance of a hose. Moreover, safety data sheets play an important role in the selection process, especially if the hose will be operated in an explosive zone.

Chemical hose

The NL4010 chemical hose is made of a rigid, heavy-wall Cross-Linked Polyethylene XLPE tube that resists kinking or crushing. This hose is ideal for applications requiring little flexibility or handling. It should be drained after each use. This hose is made from smooth, translucent XLPE and is designed for high-pressure applications. You can also use the Goodyear Blue Flexwing Hose with a smooth EPDM covering and two-wire reinforcement.

Consider how strong the chemical you are looking for when choosing a chemical hose. The chemical's concentration and state will determine the resistance of the hose to it. Other factors to consider include the temperature and working pressure. You can use a safety data sheet to make a wise choice. You should also consider the potential for static charge in an application that is located in a hazardous area.

There are many types and styles of chemical hoses, including food and general-purpose hoses. These hoses are used to transfer various chemicals from one place to another. Other types include ducting hoses and petroleum hoses. They are also available as metal hoses and composite materials.

Chemical Hose with Abrasion Resistance

An Abrasion Resistant Chemical hose is specifically designed to withstand the stresses and pressures created by transporting abrasive material. This type of hose can be found in many variations and specifications depending on the media being carried. Its special characteristics include abrasion resistance, high flexibility, and high tensile wire helix.

An Abrasion Resistant Hose is made from PVC or polyurethane. Its wall thickness is 4.8 mm and is reinforced with copper coated steel wire helix. It is suitable for groundwater offtake, agricultural applications, and sewer cleaning. It is also suitable for vacuum pumps due to its flexibility.

This abrasion resistant rubber hose is flexible and has a low coefficient of friction, which is not the case with standard rubber hose. It can also withstand temperatures ranging from -40 to +250 degF.

Acid and alkali resistant chemical hose

A chemical hose that is acid and alkali resistant is a flexible hose that can withstand chemical solutions. These hoses are available in many different styles and can be used for a variety of industrial applications. Manufacturers such as Salem-Republic Rubber offer a variety of different chemical hoses that can be custom-built to fit your needs. Hoffmeyer's KY series chemical resistant hose is an example. It is made from ultra-high molecularweight polyethylene tubing and a stainless wire helix to ensure maximum strength and flexibility. This makes it a great choice for construction and agriculture applications.

Acid and alkali resistant chemical hoses can be found in a wide range of lengths and specifications. Parker's HL-E–C series includes a 19mm pressure hose that is made from EPR and copper strands. This hose provides enhanced strength and durability. These hoses can withstand pressures up to 16 bar and are suitable for a wide variety of applications. They also feature an EPDM cover to ensure ozone and UV resistance.
