Recommendations to Metal Hose Selection

PDF CatalogDownload

Metal hose acceptable length tolerance

Metal hose overall length tolerance should be + 3% and -1%

Operating pressure factor adjusted to operating conditions

For more severe metal hose operating conditions, namely at high temperatures and under conditions of significant dynamic loads, the maximum permissible operating pressure of Pop must be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

P = Pt=20 x kt х Kdyn

P
maximum allowable operating pressure at a given temperature and dynamic loads, bar
Pt=20
operating pressure at t = 200°C without significant dynamic loads, in accordance with metal hose parameters*, bar
kt
adjusting factor for high temperatures in accordance with the table below
Kdyn
adjusting factor for dynamic loads in accordance with the table below
