WHY USE HOSES AND FLEXIBLE TUBING

 

Industrial hoses are a convenient and quick option for connecting two points in
your fluid system. Hose and flexible tubing offer many benefits that can help
eliminate downtime and reduce safety incidents in your fluid system operations.
Consider some of these important features:

 * Fewer end connections equals fewer leak points
 * Easy to install
 * Pressure or vacuum tested
 * Backed by Swagelok Limited Lifetime Warranty

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


HOW TO SELECT THE PROPER HOSE 

Identifying which hose to use is not always easy and actually depends on your
fluid system application. There are, however, some general guidelines that can
help in your hose selection process. 

UNDERSTAND WHY USING THE CORRECT TYPE OF HOSE IS IMPORTANT

Depending on the application, hoses can be exposed to various temperatures,
pressures, flow requirements, and chemicals. If the hose is not compatible with
these variables a hose can fail which may result in:

 * Production downtime and inefficiencies
 * Safety risk to personnel from the hose itself or exposure to system fluids
 * High repair costs and overall inflated operating costs
 * Poor product quality
 * Increased fugitive emissions 

KNOW HOW TO MATCH THE HOSE TYPE TO YOUR APPLICATION

When specifying a hose, you should understand your application's need for
pressure, temperature, and chemical compatibility. A hose has four major
components you'll want to consider: 

 1. Reinforcement layer: Helps improve pressure containment and flexibility.
    Usually stainless steel or fiber woven braid to improve pressure containment
    and flexibility. You should consider the hose bend radius, as well as “force
    to bend.”
 2. Cover: Provides protection as the hose's first line of defense. An outer
    layer (commonly silicone, polyurethane, or rubber) protects the underlying
    layers, as well as your personnel, and surrounding equipment. The conditions
    of your plant can help you determine which cover material you need.
 3. End connections: The performance of your hose depends largely on proper end
    connection assembly. You can have a good hose and a good end connection, but
    if the assembly is not correct, you will have leaks. Our hoses are made by
    certified assemblers and every hose is tested before it leaves our
    facility. 
 4. Core hose material: As the innermost layer, the core material of your hose
    is the most important consideration. The material must be chemically
    compatible with the system media, tolerate temperature range, and provide
    acceptable levels of permeation, and absorption. (See Figure 1 for
    comparisons.)

 

CORE HOSE MATERIAL: QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER

As previously mentioned, the core hose materials is the most important part of
the hose. Below are some questions to help you better understand what your fluid
system needs. 

 * Is the core material chemically compatible with the system media? Will it
   corrode or deteriorate over time?
 * Can the core material tolerate the temperature range of the system media?
 * Will the core tube material prevent or limit permeation and absorption?
   (Depending on your application, permeation and/or absorption may not be an
   issue.)
 * Will the core material withstand your system’s cleaning practices? This
   includes temperature, pressure, and material compatibility with any solvents
   and cleaning agents.

INSULATED HOSE SOLUTIONS TO PREVENT CONDENSATION

Hoses help powerful chillers regulate the environment necessary for production
processes. Overlooking your hose selection can lead to unnecessary risks and
costs in your operations. We offer insulation solutions for media temperatures
as low as -65 degrees F. With our insulated hose options, you can solve many
fabrication challenges such as:

 * Maintain optimal fluid temperature control: Increase efficiencies and
   minimize energy costs.
 * Combat condensation: Avoid damage, slip hazards, and downtime.
 * Minimize contaminants: Cut down on particle generation.
 * Customize to your requirements: Choose the layering thickness your system
   needs.
 * Save money: Improve your process without high costs.

HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE OF YOUR HOSE

Once you've invested in hoses for your fluid system, you'll want to know how to
obtain the longest life possible from them without compromising safety. Some
things to keep in mind to preserve the life of your hoses are to make sure
you're: routing them properly within your fluid system, storing hose inventory
correctly, and following a hose maintenance plan. 

PROPER HOSE ROUTING 

Understanding how to properly install your hoses can greatly improve the quality
and efficiency of your hose solutions. Consider these important tips:

 * Hose length: Improper hose length can accelerate unnecessary deterioration.
   If the hose is too long, it can rub against itself or the machine. If the
   hose is too short and tightly stretched, you increase the risk for leaks at
   the end connection.
 * Installation: Do not allow a hose to hang vertically from a horizontal end
   connection. Install a 90-degree elbow fitting first as shown in this image:
   
   


PROPER HOSE STORAGE

Keeping hoses on hand at your facility is important for maintenance and quick
replacement. Here are just a few points to remember when storing hoses:

 * Store in clean, dry conditions between 50 and 70 degrees F
 * Protect from UV light/sunlight
 * Cap the hose at both ends to prevent contamination
 * When hanging hose, avoid kinks by not exceeding the hose's bend radius
 * Store coils horizontally on a surface

PROPER HOSE MAINTENANCE

Hoses should be checked and replaced regularly. Waiting for a problem or a
dangerous leak can lead to serious safety issues and length downtime. To always
stay ahead of hose issues, we can help you create a hose maintenance plan. A
solid plan includes: 

 * Tracking the life and performance of every hose
 * An inspection schedule
 * A replacement schedule
 * An inventory plan to stock key components
