Engineered Hose Systems

NovaFlex® Engineered Systems Hose Wear For the transfer of material during a manufacturing process, flexible hoses are extensively used in preference to rigid, heavy and hard to install steel or plastic piping. Flexible hoses are used in the transfer of media such as; slurry (liquid mixed with materials) or dry material in a pneumatic application (material blown with air). To avoid sediment settling in a hose, it is necessary to keep the mixture flowing or turbulent. Deposits on the bottom of the conveying hose reduce efficiency and may cause clogging. Depending on the proportion of liquid to...

Hose Tube with Different Bends Depicting Particle Impact Tight Bend High Particle Impact Angle Higher Wear To increase the service life of hose used in a bend; it is recommended that the hose be rotated around it‘s axis so that the wear is more evenly distributed. Larger Bend Lower Wear Flow of Material Flow of material There is a cost benefit relationship in the selection of a hose tube for a specific application. Several compounds that can service an application are available. To provide added life, the hose may require a thicker tube. All aspects should be considered; cost of hose, cost of...

NovaFlex® Engineered Systems Elements of a Custom Hose Hose Construction Options Typically, custom hoses are plied constructions composed of the basic four hose elements: tube, carcass, cover and hose ends. Most hose styles are built in standard plied construction using multiple layers of tire cord reinforcement. To maintain hose shape during bends and in vacuum, this may (or may not) include one or more steel helix wires. A gimbal style is available in specific applications that require very high degrees of flexibility. The specific tube recommended for an abrasion resistant hose depends on...

Tube Wear Resistant Choices NovaFlex® Compound Name Rubber Type Static Conductive Operating Temperatures Conductive Properties The DIN Abrasion Index referenced, is a lab test that confirms to ASTM D5963 and ISO 4649. This lab test attempts to measure the ability of a compound to resist abrasion only! It does not simulate cutting, gouging or tearing. It is a useful guide, but may not be representative of actual compound performance in an application. It is impossible to test NovaFlex® products under all of the conditions to which they might be subjected in the field. It is therefore the buyer...

NovaFlex® Engineered Systems Hose End Connections Duck & Rubber Flange The tube and all fabric reinforcement is turned up the face of the flange end. A split steel back up flange is fitted to the back of the fabric flange face. Hose and flange are integral. This design is used for light weight flanged connections and where there is abrasion or the media conveyed can damage standard steel ends. Steel Nipple Built-in-Steel nipples with either fixed or floating flanges. The strongest end connection design that can be used in higher pressure hoses. This design has the hose tube butted up against...
