CORROLINE HOSE ASSEMBLIES
Corroline hose is custom built into hose assemblies after the hose size and grade, length and end fittings have been selected.
The specification and information contained in the brochure can be used to make these selections, but if there are any doubts
concerning the hose usage limitations or performance capabilities, customers should request expert advice from Aflex Hose.
SELECTING THE HOSE GRADE
There are two types of PTFE hose liner tube available, natural GP grade and antistatic (black) AS grade, fully described on page 10
There are 3 types of cover available, as described on Page 11:
- Stainless Steel Wire Braid (SS Grade)
- Stainless Steel Wire and extruded Rubber Cover (RC Grade)
- Polypropylene Braid (PB Grade)
There are 3 options for further protection of the hose against externally applied mechanical damage, fully described on page 12:
- Double Rubber Cover end protection cuffs (DRC)
- Safegard HDPE spiral-wrap for abrasion protection (SG)
- Helically wound, heavy guage SS wire outer Protection Coil (PC)
SELECTING THE HOSE ASSEMBLY LENGTH
The lengths of Corroline hose assemblies are as specified by the customer and the length is measured from the sealing face
at one end fitting to the same at the other end of the hose.
Length tolerances are normally +5% -0%.
Maximum lengths are given under Specifications on page 6
Minimum lengths can be calculated from the configuration data on pages 27 - 29.
SELECTING THE END FITTINGS
The range of standard end fittings and materials are given on pages 13 - 24
Flange fittings, Cam and Groove fittings and DIN 11851 Female fittings are available with or without integral PTFE lined and
flared ends.
All other fittings are non-lined only.

Both ends non-lined ANSI 150# S/S Flanges'.
OR by Part Numbers, as defined on page 9 - e.g. 4 off Part No. 16-CLNAS-SS-SG-3.00m-12-12
