There are many chemical delivery hoses that can handle acids, chemicals, and solvents. They also provide protection from abrasion, corrosion and high temperatures.
These hoses can also be fitted with static grounding wires and static dissipative tube to reduce the risk of electric shocks. For more information or to discuss the best solution for you, please contact us.
chemical delivery hose series
The chemical delivery hose series offers a wide range of applications for suction and transfer of various chemicals, petroleum products, acids, and alkalis. They are ideal for tank-to-tank transfer, road and rail tanker transport, drum filling, in-plant transfers, tank-to tank handling, and tank-to-tank handling.
They are made from a high-density, cross-linked polyethylene tube that is not able to leach into the product being shipped. It is reinforced using a combination high-strength synthetic cord and embedded steel wire shelix.
These hoses can also be ordered in both smooth and convoluted versions. The smooth bore hose is ideal for vacuum service and provides excellent clean-ability. The constrained hose is flexible and provides excellent pressure control.
PTFE Hose is a great choice for general industrial and chemical applications that require flexibility, resistance to extreme temperatures, and resistance to abrasion. It is a durable alternative to rubber and has many features that make it ideal for critical fluid transfer.
It is crucial to gather all information about the medium (substance transferred through the hose), its temperature, concentration, and temperature in order to ensure that the hose you choose is suitable. It is also a good idea to read the safety data sheets of chemical substances to determine if the hose can dissipate static charges created by the transferring media.
precautions for chemical delivery hose installation
Proper installation is essential for chemical and liquid transport hoses. This includes proper storage, use, installation, and replacement. Depending on the materials and chemicals being transported, hoses must be made from different materials to withstand chemical and environmental conditions.
Some of the more common materials used in chemical hoses include UHMW (untreated high-density polyethylene), EPDM and PVC. These hoses are typically very resistant to chemicals.
To ensure they work well, hoses must be tested regularly. Hydrostatic testing at 150% pressure is recommended.
In addition, a chemical delivery hose should be checked for kinking and damage to its interior. This could lead to a leakage or explosion.
The hose should never be bent beyond its elastic limit. Bending and twisting can cause damage to the inner structure of hoses, which can lead to rupture.
If a hose is damaged, it should be replaced immediately. Failure to do this can lead to the release of chemicals into buildings and the environment.
Metal hoses are a good choice for chemical transfer applications. They are durable and can withstand normal wear and tear in chemical plants. It is lightweight and easy-to-handle.
media transported by chemical transfer hoses
Chemical transfer hoses can be used to transport many types of chemical media. They are made from durable materials that are resistant to acids and chemicals.
These hoses are often used in transferring acidic liquids to and from storage containers in industrial plants, spraying pesticides or fertilizers, and delivering petroleum products from tank trucks to docks and barges. It is important to remember that the wrong type of Hose can cause production problems and expensive replacement costs in certain cases.
Hoffmeyer offers durable chemical and chemical-resistant hoses that can handle most industrial chemicals. This will save your company time, effort, money, and frustration. Our ultra high molecule weight (UHMW), polyethylene tubing can transport up to 98% common chemicals without contaminating or leaching them.
Our XLPE chemical tubes are available in green or blue. They can be used with most solvents and chemicals, as well as most hydrocarbons. They are reinforced with a spiral-plied synthetic fabric and double wire helix.
