Metallic Hose Assemblies - Thorburn Flex Inc

Special PurposeAssemblies➂➂➂➂➂➂At what temperature do you wish the hose to operate?What is the minimum ambient temperature expected?■■■■■The difference between the operating temperature and the minimum ambient temperature iswhat the hose must be designed to produce.This is achieved by a combination of power (watts per foot) and thermal insulation.The thicker the thermal insulation, the less watts per foot required.If the amount of power available is limited, you must have more thermal insulation.If you need a hose with a small finished O.D., you must use more power.At what voltage would you prefer to operate the hose?What length would you like the hose to be?■Lengths up to 1000 feet are available, with one voltage input.How do you plan to control the hose temperature?■■For continuous operation, we recommend solid state control.For periodic operation, electro-mechanical control is acceptable.What pressure rating do you need at your expectedoperating temperature?■■■■■■■■Instrument and equipment manufacturersOil and fossil fuel companiesChemical manufacturers and processorsAutomotive and diesel engine manufacturersAircraft engine manufacturersSteel mills and foundriesPlastics manufacturers and moldersFoods and beverage processors■■■■■■■Water and waste servicesPublic utility and power generating plantsNuclear power plantsGovernment agencies (bureau of mines, environmentalprotection agency, etc.)Military forcesColleges and universitiesResearch organizations and consultants88
