Hose assemblies for extreme pressure
The Extreme Pressure polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hose assembly (photo) is designed to work with extreme-pressure PTFE hoses. It utilizes an internal cable that is designed specifically for extreme-pressure PTFE gas applications. When a high-pressure cylinder-filling hose assembly fails, the hose can whip violently, resulting in property damage, personnel injury and even death. The Smart-Hose Safety System can protect facilities and workforce from the potentially devastating consequences associated with high-pressure hose failures. Integrated valves will instantly stop product flow if a catastrophic failure occurs. No human intervention is needed to activate. The tube is gas quality or heavy wall smooth-bore virgin PTFE tube reinforced with two aramid Braids and one high-tensile 304 maypole-wound stainless-steel braid. The operating temperature ranges from –54 to 150°C. — Smart Hose Technologies, Folcroft, Pa.
