* Burst pressures are typical results obtained at 70oF (20oC). The figures are approximate and provided for comparison only and do not constitute a specification. An adequate safety allowance (minimum 3:1) must be made in determining maximum working pressure.

Alternative Reinforcements

  • Polyester monofilament fiber reinforcement provides slightly higher pressure resistance and better resistance to hose kinking at a small bend radius.

  • Glass fiber reinforcement offers higher temperature resistance, up to 570oF (300oC) intermittent exposure, but is not recommended for dynamic or high frequency pulsating pressure applications.

  • Aramid fiber reinforcement is suitable for dynamic applications up to 570oF (300oC) intermittent exposure. Aramid fiber is the best all round reinforcement with regard to resilience and high burst pressure but is more expensive than glass or polyester.

  • Reinforcements can have a braided or knitted construction and hose can be supplied with or without a top coating. Metal wire reinforcement is also possible with stainless steel, copper or other thermal or electrical conducting materials.
