For proper hose selection, please provide us with as much information as possible.  Submit drawings and/or photos of the application if available, as this will further assist us in recommending or designing a solution to meet your unique application requirements.

S = SIZE

State the overall dimensions of the hose required for your particular needs. The hose ID and length.  If the assembled length is critical to the hose's application, then specify overall assembled lengths (length including fittings.)

Example:  Hose ID X Assembly length   (3" x 10 ft. long)

 

T= TEMPERATURE

Specify the temperatures of the application and the environment it operates in. Consider both internal (media and friction) and external (ozone and sunlight) temperatures. Please supply PEAK, MIN, MAX and NORMAL operating temperatures expected. Duration of spikes in temperature may also be helpful if the temperatures are at the extreme limits of the material capabilities.

Example:  Minimum and maximum temperature of the product conveyed through the hose assembly or the environmental temperature range.  (200 degrees F or -40 degrees F to 120 degrees F)

 

A = APPLICATION

State the mode and environment in which the hose is being used. What will it be used for? Truck tankers, railcars, high-pressure cylinders? Is it in continuous, infrequent, or intermittent service? Is there a direct exposure to sunlight? Is there direct exposure to oil or petroleum products? Indicate any incidental chemical exposures that might occur in the application including frequency, concentrations, and chemicals. Also note all regulatory requirements and/or certifications needed. The hose may have to be fabricated from a metal or a specialized compound.

 

M = MATERIAL

What is the product flowing through the hose? This parameter is important because the media will come in contact with the ID and all of the "wetted" components of the hose. Hose construction and materials must be suitably engineered for compatibility. It is often best to supply the MSDS and/or CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service) number for the product(s) involved. If the hose will handle multiple products, note each one individually.

 

P = PRESSURE

How much pressure is going through the system? Be aware of any spikes in pressure and accommodate for these drastic changes in the design and selection of your hose. It is equally important to be aware of the correlation between temperature and pressure. A hose cannot be used at its maximum rated working pressure and maximum rated temperature at the same time.  Supply MIN, MAX and OPERATING pressuresas well as any safety factor requirements for BURST pressure rating.

 

E = ENDS

Refers to the configuration of each end of the hose and how it will be attached in the application. State in detail the type and size parameters of the ends required (for example: 2" ACME threaded, 4" 150 psi Camlock.)  A hose assembly is rated for the lesser of the working pressure of the hose or the fittings. (For example) a 4-inch 300 psi hose with aluminum cam and groove  fittings will typically only be rated for 150 psi.

 

D = DETAILS   Don't forget the DETAILS! 

  • Specify when the assembly is expected on a job, plus any other special project requirements.
  • Do you need regulatory certifications?
  • Do you need Break-Away® technology capabilities?
  • Do you need accessories like Spring Guard, Scuff Guard, Bend Restrictors, etc.?
  • Do you have a preferred hose distributor to purchase the hose(s) through? (If yes, please add name and contact information for this particular distributor.)
