Corroflon
is the only PTFE lined convoluted hose on the
market to be fully kink and vacuum resistant at
high pressures and temperatures. This is
because Corroflon's design incorporates a thick
section external helical reinforcement wire,
which gives the radial support necessary to
ensure maximum strength, whilst maintaining
optimum flexibility and cleanability. The helix
wire is welded directly to the end fitting at
each end, ensuring security of attachment and
electrical continuity.
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. This thick wall liner also
minimizes permeation and is extended through the
end fittings to give an uninterrupted clean flow
of fluid through the fitting. |
