Hose
Types, Designs & Approvals
Over the years, Corroflon hose and end fittings have been continuously
developed and improved to maintain market leadership, and design
features which have been identified as prime requirements have
been incorporated at every stage.
These include
the thickest wall and the best processed tube lining available,
to prevent the development of porosity in the PTFE, which is the
primary cause of premature failure in competitors' products.
Corroflon is
also fully kink resistant and vacuum resistant due to the tight
helical wire reinforcement and the convoluted design profile.
The build quality
and design excellence of Corroflon hose have been tested and proved
in numerous applications worldwide, and hundreds of thousands of
Corroflon hoses have been applied and used successfully over the
last 30 years.

Advantages
over Conventional Hose
- Internally
"wetted" parts are all PTFE, protecting the end fitting from
any corrosive fluids.
- No bore restriction, so
fluid flow through the fitting is clean, without entrapment
zones.
- Corroflon will give better
clean ability and drain ability than other convoluted PTFE
hose on the market.
- Corroflon is the only
PTFE lined convoluted hose on the market to be fully kink
and vacuum resistant at high pressures and temperatures.
- Aflex is the only PTFE
hose manufacturer to guarantee a minimum PTFE liner thickness
of 1.5mm for hose sizes 1" and above. Which ensures sufficient
strength to prevent the tube from being internally pressurized
from a sine wave shape into an extended square wave shape.
which would lead to porosity and eventually premature failure
of the tube.

Pressure
vs Temperature |
|
PAll sized of
Corroflon, up to 2" bore are usable at full vacuum up to 265°F.
At higher temperatures, the vacuum resistance should be reduced
1% for every degree above 265°F. For sizes above 2" bore, the
vacuum resistance depends on the bend radius used. In general,
for sizes above 2" when high/full vacuum resistance is required,
use SP grade. |
