Change in technical specification without prior notice
10 Bar = 1 MPa

* technical data based on water. For air pressure the minimum safety ratio is 1:4. Depending on the application our product can be operated with a maximum working pressure up to 50 % of the bursting pressure. Consult factory for approval!
It is important to note, that the technical data for pressure are only valid for hose and not for hose assembly with couplings!

** to obtain maximum lifetime the end pull under working conditions should not exceed 1/3 of the breaking strength

CONSTRUCTION

Textile reinforcement:

  • high tenacity polyester yarn, circular woven
  • special weaving design for ultra-high tensile strength, minimum bending radius and low elongation under pressure
  • totally embedded in the PU compound, excellent protected against mechanical damage

Lining and cover:

  • hermoplastic polyether polyurethane extruded ”through the weave“ in a unique one step
    production process
  • superior abrasion resistance 5-6 times better than NBR/PVC hoses
  • inside: very smooth for minimum friction loss
  • outside: very smooth for good flexibility, thick wall for unbeatable wear and tear properties

SPECIAL OPTIONS

  • HILCOFLEX PU DRAGEXTRA with 4.5 mm
    (0.18“) wall thickness
  • single lengths longer than 200 m (660 ft)
  • 52 - 90 mm (2 - 31/2“) up to 500 m (1,650 ft)
  • 102 - 127 mm (4 - 5“) up to 400 m (1,320 ft)
  • other dimensions

Note that special options are subject to a higher price and a minimum order of 2,000 m (6,600 ft) per dimension. Production short lengths and overproduction up to 10 % of the total order quantity have to be accepted. Enquire for details !
