Hose Applications
Name a fully conductive, all metal hose.
FM, FJ, FL, FX, AH, FV, FN, FZ
What 3 hose core series do we stock for CS builds?
XC, XT, ST
What does S.T.A.M.P.E.D. stand for?
Size, Temperature, Application, Material, Pressure, Ends, Delivery
Why would you pick an AH series hose over an FL series?
Higher corrosion resistance
What hose would be recommended for a Hydrogen or Helium application?
All Metal (FM, FX, FJ, ETC.)
What is the hydrostatic test pressure and test duration of a 1/2" XT hose with TA ends?
1000 psi, 30 seconds.
Can a U series hose be spliced together to make a longer length hose?
Yes,
Splices consist of a connector
fitting and crimp collars that join two
lengths of hose to form assemblies.
Splices may be required to obtain
longer hose lengths of fluoropolymer
hose (B, X, S, C, J, N, W, F, and U
series), as noted in the Ordering
Information for each series
What Swagelok hose would you pick for general hydraulic service?
What hose series has a smooth bore PFA core and silcone cover
S, J, W Series
With the correct machines and certifications, could we make 7R Nylon hoses in-house?
Yes
What core hose should be used if full draining of the hose is required?
Smooth Bore or Helical Core (Not Convoluted)
Why would we want to potentially avoid using a metal hose in a mobile application?
The metal core of the hose has a higher likelihood of a fatigue failure.
A customer is looking to reduce the amount of heat transfer from their media to the surrounding environment. This might work for their application.
FV series hose, Y Insulation (good for surface temp control)
What is the electrical property of the ST series hose core? (Non-conductive, Conductive, Static dissipative, or unspecified)
Non-conductive
What is the recommended minimum straight length on a hose before a bend occurs?
2x The Hose Diameter
(i.e. 1" for 1/2" Hose Diameter)
How does media pressure effect permeability in a hose?
Pressure scales linearly with permeability. 2x the pressure = 2x the gas molecules permeating.
A customer is looking for a 1/4" hose for a hydraulic application and needs to be static dissipative. System Pressure will be 3100 psig at ambient temperature.
X Series Hose with Carbon Black Filled PTFE
SS-XC4TA4TA4-120
How many lines of text can we put on a hose mat tag?
5 lines of custom text
What is the OAL of a SS-4BHT-120
122.5
What must be considered when using a non-metal hose with gasoline?
Static dissipation - gasoline generates static electricity which could eventually cause ignition should a spark occur.
