There is a fundamental problem with larger sizes of standard, smooth bore PTFE hose products - as the hose size increases above 1/4", so smooth bore PTFE lined hose become significantly less flexible, and more easily kinked.

One solution is to use a conventional convoluted PTFE lined hose, but the internal convolutions make the hose difficult to assemble, and reduces fluid flow rates due to turbulent flow.

Hyperline FX is a new and revolutionary solution to all these problems, providing a unique and patented 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.

GRADE DESCRIPTIONS

Antistatic PTFE Linings (AS Grade)

When electrically resistive fluids like solvents and fuels, or multiphase mixtures are passed through natural PTFE hose at high flow rates, a static charge build up occurs on the inner wall of the PTFE liner, which eventually discharges to the nearest earth creating a leak path through the liner.

Antistatic PTFE includes a small quantity of a special carbon black which ensures safe static charge dissipation, in accordance with International Standards.

Stainless Steel Wire Braid (SS Grades)

The braid protects the PTFE liner tube against internal pressure and mechanical abuse.

Aramid Fibre Braid (AM Grades)

The aramid fibre is 'Tecnora', a higher specification fibre than Kevlar, with excellent temperature, tensile and abrasion resistant properties.

For applications requiring minimum weight for maximum pressure reinforcement.
