specifications. Proof or test pressures are usually twice working pressure and all burst pressures are conservatively rated to provide a high margin of safety.

3 1.04 INTRO Design Considerations When Selecting THE RANGE 1.05 Pacif ic Hose Flex PTFE Hose DATABASE FOR PRESSURES All stated burst pressures are static and are measured on samples at ambient temperature from which averages are recorded to create relevant specifications. Proof or test pressures are usually twice working pressure and all burst pressures are conservatively rated to provide a high margin of safety. CHEMICAL RESISTANCE The PTFE hose liner resists all chemicals and solvents except molten alkali metals, Chlorine Trifluoride, and Fluorine Gas. HOSE QUALITY - PRESSURE TESTING OF RANDOM LENGTH HOSE The responsibility rests completely on the purchaser to ensure satisfactory and appropriate testing before supplying hose assemblies for final use. All hose is checked extensively throughout all stages of manufacture, PACIFIC HOSEFLEX products is proof pressure tested in sample random pieces and not in bulk lengths. Bulk testing can be offered on all products but does incur a premium. Please contact our Sales Department. TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE Whilst PTFE has a working temperature range between -60ºC and +260ºC (dependent upon the grade selected) as with all other types of - hose, increased working temperatures require a reduction in maximum rated working or burst pressure. Whenever excessive flexing, vibration, thermal fluctuations or rapid pressure impulsing is in evidence, further caution should be exercised in reducing the maximum working pressure. ELONGATION AND CONTRACTION At working pressure this falls within the range +2% to -4% (l/8 & 3/16` +0% to -6%) MINIMUM/MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS LENGTHS All PTFE hose is supplied in random lengths, but if special lengths are required please contact your approved distributor or PACIFIC HOSEFLEX Sales Department. SMOOTH BORE Available from 1/8 to 11/4 this is the all purpose industrial hose. Standard or Heavy wall, Single wire or Double wire braid. T1700 The hose is constructed of a smooth inner core of PTFE, impregnated with carbon black to provide conductivity for static discharge. The outer braid is a specially engineered bunch braid construction made of 304 stainless steel. Size 6mm to 32mm working pressure KPA ( 5000 psi ) TAPE WRAPPED CONVOLUTED HOSE Available from 3/8 to 4 this super flexible convoluted hose is the ideal product for those tight fit applications. One of the most flexible PTFE hoses available in the world. EASYFLEX CONVOLUTED HOSE Available from 1/4 to 2 our extruded convoluted hose is helically formed offering superior flexibility coupled with an easy to clean design. Ideal for the chemical and food industry. REDUCED STATIC A damaging electrostatic charge can build up inside the hose when electrically resistive fluids are being transmitted at very high flow rates (particularly if the PTFE hose assemblies are lengthy). To prevent this a special carbon is mixed with the PTFE to reduce its resistivity. The need for earth conductor braids or wires in the bore of the hose is therefore eliminated. Please contact our Sales Department for advice on when to specify anti-static hose. BS2050:1978 (items 4, 5, 6 and 7 as appropriate) calls for a maximum resistance of 106 ohms/metre hose length on the critical inside surface of the PTFE hose tubing as well as on the outside. Supply Policy Our policy is one of continuous development and the information in this publication should be taken only as a guide for the use of PACIFIC HOSEFLEX PTFE hose. It does not constitute a warranty of any kind, expressed or implied, of our products or their suitability for any particular use. We reserve the right to alter published specifications without prior notice. PACIFIC HOSEFLEX introduces AFX the easy way to order PTFE hose. We here at PACIFIC HOSEFLEX appreciate the problems that can occur when ordering products in both metric and imperial dimensions, that is why we have introduced the AFX part number system. ENCAPSULATED Stainless Steel outer wire braid, helically wound tube. (translucent in appearance). The design eliminates potential entrapment areas, as the helical rounded profile of the hose and non stick properties of the PTFE promotes a self cleaning effect. HYPERLINE HOSE The PTFE inner tube is smooth bore on the inside but convoluted on the outside, to combine the ease of assembly and high flow rates of a smooth bore hose with the flexibility and link resistance of a convoluted hose in one product. BIOFLEX Due to its extremely strong construction, Bioflex has outstanding resistance to temperature, pressure and flexing. APPROVED BRAKE LINES AND ANODIZED ENDS Available in 1/8 (-3) this hose is used in several braking applications in the auto sport market and is finding new applications with OEM Motorcycle manufacturers. Available with an extruded outer cover. GAS QUALITY Available from 1/8 to 13/32 this special gas hose is manufactured specifically for use with Industrial gases. Also available in High Kevlar and stainless steel braid (pictured). Not only do we quote both metric and imperial measurements in all of our specifications but we now assign a part number to each and every product we manufacture. Just state the AFX number and the quantity you require and we will do the rest, it couldn t be simpler. STEAM HOSE Available in 3/16 this product incorporates a Polyester outer braid. A high quality operator friendly hose.

manufactured from PTFE. No pigments or additives are incorporated thus giving the hose liner a translucent appearance free from any contamination.

Reduced static versions of all hoses are available for applications where electrically resistive fluids are being transferred at high flow rates.

All figures stated are for 1 wire braid hose - 2 wire braid hose specifications are available upon request.

4 1.06 Smooth Bore PTFE Hose 1.07 T1700 GENERAL PURPOSE Smooth bore hoses Also Available - SAE 10OR14 - IMPERIAL STANDARD AND HEAVY WALL - METRIC STANDARD AND HEAVY WALL - DASH RANGE STANDARD WALL The PTFE hose core is manufactured from PTFE. No pigments or additives are incorporated thus giving the hose liner a translucent appearance free from any contamination. The wire braiding (1 or 2 wire available) is produced from AISI 304/S15 or BS quality hard drawn tensile stainless steel wire. Reduced static versions of all hoses are available for applications where electrically resistive fluids are being transferred at high flow rates. The standard wall products are not recommended for steam-cold water cycling. We recommend the Heavy Wall range for the most demanding applications including intense thermal cycling. All figures stated are for 1 wire braid hose - 2 wire braid hose specifications are available upon request. SMOOTH BORE HOSE All of the hoses in the following range are fully approved to the SAE specification and are available from Pacific Hoseflex today. We feel that this will become the global size range for PTFE hoses and recommend that your smooth bore hose demands are selected from this range. If the coupling size restricts your choice we have three further ranges of smooth bore hoses for you to select the exact size that best suits your requirement KPA Working T1700 is virtually resistant to all chemicals except molten alkali metals or halogens at elevated temperatures, which can range from -70º C to +260º C. The hose has excellent mechanical resistance for vibration and flexing and is non-stick and easy to clean. FDA has approved resin that guarantees food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications. It is non-flammable, non-aging and has very good U.V. resistance. The hose is chemically inert and has good dielectric properties and low coefficient of friction, which ensures low-pressure drop.
