Composite Hose / Chemical Hose

     

Primary Application

  • Industrial Operations: Widely used in chemical processing plants, oil refineries, paint and lacquer manufacturing facilities, and paper mills.

  • Transfer & Delivery: Ideal for in-plant transfers, rail car loading/unloading, and tank truck chemical deliveries.

  • Conveyants Handled: Engineered for safely transferring highly corrosive acids and alkalis, aldehydes, amines, aliphatics, aromatic fuels, chlorinated hydrocarbons, alcohols, esters, ketones, and various petroleum products under full suction or rated discharge pressure.

  • Restriction: Not recommended for service with certain bromides, chlorides, or fluorides. Always refer to the manufacturer’s Chemical Compatibility Chart for specific media recommendations.

Structure & Specifications

  • Inner Wire: Polypropylene Coated Steel (Provides structural support and chemical compatibility with aggressive media).

  • Outer Wire: Galvanized Steel (Delivers external crush resistance and structural integrity).

  • Hose Wall: Multi-layer construction consisting of high-performance polypropylene fabrics and specialized film barrier layers.

  • Outer Cover: Tough, abrasion-resistant PVC-coated fabric cover.

  • Size Range: 1″ to 4″

  • Brand: Amnitec (United Kingdom)

Operating Temperature Or Condition

  • Maximum Working Pressure: Rated up to 14 bar (Also fully rated for Full Vacuum / suction applications).

  • Temperature Range: Safe operational range from -20°C to +80°C.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Maximum Chemical Resistance: The heavy-duty polypropylene liner and carcass assembly provide superior defense against highly aggressive chemical compounds.

  • Lightweight & High Flexibility: Substantially lighter and easier to handle than traditional rubber hoses, maintaining excellent flexibility even in low-temperature environments.

  • Excellent Durability & Safety: The weather- and abrasion-resistant PVC outer cover protects the hose carcass against harsh external dragging and environmental degradation.

  • Anti-Static Safety: Features engineered double end-to-end electrical continuity to prevent dangerous static electricity build-up and internal arcing (Resistance measures less than 10 Ohms when assembled with metallic end fittings).

Certifications & Standards

  • Manufactured and certified to meet stringent maritime and industrial standards: EN 13765:2003 Type 3BS 5842 (1980), and US Coastguard Regulations.
