Product Selection Differences for Metallic Lined Hoses

When selecting Metallic Lined Hoses, there are several key differences to consider:

1. Material: Metallic lined hoses can have different lining materials such as PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy), FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene), or ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene). Each material has its own properties and suitability for specific applications.

2. Corrosion Resistance: Consider the level of corrosion resistance required for the specific application. Choose a metallic lined hose with a lining material that offers the necessary resistance to the chemicals or substances it will be exposed to.

3. Temperature and Pressure Ratings: Ensure that the metallic lined hose you choose can withstand the temperature and pressure conditions of your application. Different lining materials have different temperature and pressure ratings.

4. Flexibility and Bend Radius: Consider the flexibility and bend radius of the metallic lined hose to ensure it can be easily installed and maneuvered in your setup without kinking or restricting flow.

5. Conductivity: Depending on the application, you may need a metallic lined hose with either conductive or non-conductive properties. This is important for applications where static electricity buildup needs to be controlled.

6. End Connections: Consider the type of end connections required for your application, such as flanges, threaded fittings, or camlock fittings. Ensure compatibility with your existing equipment.

7. Certifications and Compliance: Check if the metallic lined hose meets industry standards and certifications for safety and performance, such as ASME, ASTM, FDA, or REACH compliance.

By considering these key differences, you can select the most suitable metallic lined hose for your specific industrial application.
