PTFE - THE OPTIMUM CHOICE FOR HYPERLINE HOSE LININGS PTFE, or Polytetrafluoroethylene, comprises long-chain Section from a PTFE Molecule, 16 Angstrom Units long. molecules of carbon atoms, each linked to two fluorine atoms. The fluorine atoms provide a helical spiral which surrounds the carbon chain and protects it. It is this structure which creates the unique properties for which PTFE is well-known. Excellent Chemical Resistance PTFE is renowned as the most chemically resistant material known. Only a very few, very unusual substances and conditions can affect it, like Fluorine gas at high...

HYPERLINE FX HOSE 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...

HYPERLINE FX HOSE : SPECIFICATIONS AND PROPERTIES SPECIFICATIONS FOR HYPERLINE FX HOSE GRADES Note: Specifications listed below are for non-AS Grades. For AS Grades the specifications are all the same, except that “AS” is added to the Grade Reference, and the Part Number reads “-110-” in place of “-100-”. Nominal *Actual Hose Hose Bore Size Size Outside Maximum Minimum Bend Diameter of Working Radius Tube or Braid Pressure (MWP) Weight per Unit Length Hose Grade Hose Part Number *Hydraulic Bore Size - The actual bore sizes of Hyperline FX hose are slightly larger than the nominal size, to...

HYPERLINE FX HOSE COVER OPTIONS AND APPLICATIONS ALTERNATIVE DESIGN OPTIONS - HOSE COVERS For certain applications, it is an advantage to have a flexible plastic or rubber outer cover extruded on to the hose. The cover provides protection for the braid, as well as being easy to clean, and can be printed with a continuous text line. Covered hose is, however, only available to special order, so price and availability are very dependent upon quantities required. Options are: Flexible PVC - from -10˚C (+14˚F) to +60˚C (+140˚F) max. In transparent or a wide variety of solid or translucent...

SUPPLY OPTIONS - HYPERLINE FX HOSE ASSEMBLIES AND PRE-CUT LENGTHS SUPPLY OPTIONS : Hyperline FX hose can either be supplied as made up and crimped hose assemblies, or as loose hose for customers to assemble themselves, using ferrules supplied by Aflex Hose, and standard hydraulic end fittings, which can also be supplied by Aflex Hose if required. Easier Assembly : Hyperline FX is very flexible, and is designed to replace conventional flexible tape wrapped convoluted or autoconvoluted PTFE hoses in application where faster, cleaner fluid flow or ease of assembly is paramount. SS or MS...

HYPERLINE FX HOSE : SPECIAL USAGE CONDITIONS PTFE Hose-Use with Alkali Metals, Halogens and Halogen containing Chemicals PTFE hose liners react chemically with Fluorine, Chlorine Trifluoride and molten Alkali Metals. When PTFE lined hose is used to carry Chlorine or Bromine, either as gasses or fluids, they will diffuse into and through the PTFE liner wall thickness. Trace quantities will then combine with atmospheric moisture to corrode any braid/rubber outer coverings. Heavily halogenated chemicals, like Hydrogen Fluoride, Hydrogen Chloride, Phosgene (Carbonyl Chloride) Carbon...

HOSE CONFIGURATION & LENGTH CALCULATIONS - for BEND RADIUS Hose Configuration Requirements Hose Assemblies are usually connected at both ends in service. They may then either remain in a fixed, or static configuration or in a flexing, or dynamic configuration. Whether static or dynamic, the First Rule concerning the configuration of the hose is that the bend radius of the hose must never be less than the Minimum Bend Radius (MBR) for the hose as listed in the relevant hose brochure. The most common situation when this is likely to occur is when the hose is flexed at the end fitting, with...

HOSE CONFIGURATION & LENGTH CALCULATIONS - for ABRASION & TORQUE The Third Rule is that the hose configuration should always be designed, and supported where necessary, to avoid any possibility of external abrasion. In some cases, the length, configuration and angle of the hose can be designed to avoid abrasion. In others, static or moving support frames or support wheels are required. Incorrect - Hose abrasion against hose) Incorrect - Abrasion inside support Correct - No hose abrasion Correct - No abrasion over support The Fourth Rule is that the hose must not be subjected to torque,...

HOSE CONFIGURATION & LENGTH CALCULATIONS - for LENGTH CALCULATIONS CALCULATING THE HOSE LENGTH The formula for calculating the bent section of the hose length around a radius is derived from the basic formula that the circumference of a circle = 2πR, where R = the radius of the circle, and π = a constant, = 3.142. So, if the hose goes around a 90˚ bend, which is 1/4 of a full circumference, and the radius of the bend is R, then the length of the hose around the bend is = 1/4 x 2πR. Or half way round, in a U-shape, = 1/2 x 2πR. Note : In calculating the length of a hose assembly, the...
