There is a fundamental problem with larger sizes of the standard, smoothbore PTFE hose products - as the hose size increases above 3/8", so smoothbore PTFE lined hose become significantly less flexible, and more easily kinked.

Hyperline FX is a new and revolutionary solution to this problem, providing a unique hose liner design which is flexible in the larger bore sizes, yet which retains a smooth bore.

The advantage of a smooth bore as compared with a convoluted bore is that it is easy clean, and does not create 'turbulent flow', which drastically reduces fluid flow rates.

Hyperline FX includes a PTFE liner which is smooth bore on the inside, but heavily convoluted on the outside. The liner is usually overbraided with Stainless Steel wire to provide reinforcement against pressure. The actual bore sizes of Hyperline FX hose are sized to fit hydraulic fittings, slightly larger than the nominal size, same as Hyperline SB.

Hyperline FX is used in the same applications as Smoothbore, but has a wider range of applications because it is much more flexible and kinkproof in sizes above 3/8" (9.5mm).

SIZE RANGE

1/4" (0.270", 6.8mm actual bore) to 1" (1.040", 26.4mm actual bore).
