Composite Hose manufacturing represents a radical departure from conventional hose building technologies.
The unique construction method used to make composite hose results in an extremely lightweight and flexible finished product.
Composite hose consists of multiple layers of thermoplastic film and fabric trapped between internal and external helix wires.
The internal wire supports the fabric layers and provides resistance to vacuum in suction applications.
Film layers and fabric layers provide sealing and strength to handle pressure applications.
By combining different films and fabrics in various ways, it is possible to produce hoses with a tremendous range of chemical resistance, working temperatures and pressures.
The unique construction of composite hose requires the use of specially designed fittings and assembly methods.
Swaged on fittings are available in carbon and stainless steel as well as other materials, and are attached using steel ferrules and a choice of nitrile, butyl, or VitonĀ® seals.
