A chemical hose can be used for liquid or abrasive substances. They are typically used for handling abrasive solutions and solvents and for transporting chemicals and abrasive products. They are also used in laboratories and industrial processes.
Chemical hoses are typically made of an inner layer of rubber or plastic and are reinforced with a braid or steel wire helix. This combination of reinforcements provides a hose that is resistant to abrasion and pressure while providing good durability. They are used for a variety of technological processes in the chemical industry, such as the transfer of liquid chemicals, solvents, and thinners.
A UHMW polyethylene Hose is an example of this. It can handle 98% common chemicals and is ideal for chemical and abrasive applications. This hose can also be ordered with an anti-static black, PTFE cover. It can handle abrasive and acidic chemicals and is suitable for transportation of hydrocarbons and highly aromatic fluids. It is also available as a variety sizes. It is also reinforced with high strength textile cords. A synthetic rubber cover can be corrugated to increase flexibility. Besides its chemical resistance, the hose is also available with a heat resistant FEP (Foam Extruded Polyethylene) liner.
A modified cross-linked polyethylene hose (XLPE), is another type of chemical hose. This type of hose is a good choice for rail transporters because it is inexpensive. It is important to test the temperature of the hose before you use it. The temperature, concentration, working pressure, and chemical resistance of a hose are all factors that affect its chemical resistance. It can handle petroleum products, alcohols, as well as acids.
Purple Flexwing hose is designed to handle a wide range of chemicals and is made of Versigard (r) synthetic rubber. This hose is also reinforced with a double wire helix, which increases durability. You can also get an OmegasynTM EPDM cover. This hose is suitable for chemical transfer and suction service and can handle a wide range of acids, alcohols, and solvents. This hose is also available with a red spiral stripe for labeling purposes. It is available in a variety of sizes, from 13mm to 51mm inside diameter.
Chem One is a chemical-hose that can handle both suction service or gravity flow. It also comes with an Insta Lock Cam & Groove fitting. You can also get nozzles for cleaning or spraying. It is also available in a variety sizes and temperatures. It is also available with a variety of colors. It is suitable for the transfer of industrial chemicals and is also available with a red spiral stripe. It can also be ordered with a food-approved tube.
Another type of chemical hose is made of Hypalon. It is made of a synthetic rubber compound. It is used in a variety industries including the mining, printing and paper industries. It is also available in a variety designs, such as a corrugated hose, which reduces its weight. It can also be used to handle highly resolute chemicals.
