Balflexâ Industrial Hoses

industrial_logo.jpg (8937 bytes)

 

Balflex industrial hoses are produced to Balflex specifications and according to ISO, EN, DIN, BS, RMA and other standards. They cover a wide variety of low to very high pressure applications, in rubber or plastics, with textile or steel reinforcement, with high resistance to very different fluids and environment and service conditions.


Balflex optimized the production of these hoses and their compatibility with a wide range of connectors, in order to assure the highest performance and the most extensive range of applications. The Balflex industrial hoses program in this catalogue includes:

Hoses for special Oleo-hydraulic Applications
Hoses for Water & Steam
Hoses for Automobiles
Hoses for Fuel Transfer
Hoses for Industrial Gases
Hoses for Abrasive and Corrosive Flows
For other hoses please consult:

General Guidelines

Balflex industrial hoses are produced to Balflex specifications and according to ISO, EN, DIN, BS, RMA and other standards. They cover a wide variety of low to very high pressure applications, in rubber or plastics, with textile or steel reinforcement, with high resistance to very different fluids and environment and service conditions.

Balflex optimized the production of these hoses and their compatibility with a wide range of connectors, in order to assure the highest performance and the most extensive range of applications.

Balflex industrial hoses are designed with different safety factors (the ratio relating minimum burst pressure and recommended working pressure), according to the relevant in the application field. Working pressure and nominal diameter are always branded on the hose, except on hoses with external steel braid. Industrial hoses are designed for a variety of fluids and granulates applications with different temperature ranges. Special rubber mixtures and lining materials allow exceeding ambient temperatures.

The following catalogue pages list the compatibility of the hose for different applications, working and minimum burst pressure, diameters, minimum bend radius and working temperature range. For additional data please consult our technical department.

Selection, assembly and installment of industrial hoses should follow Balflex recommendations and the applicable field standards. Industrial hose assemblies should always be inspected and hydraulically tested before installment. All systems where new hoses have been installed should be tested against leakage and malfunction in an appropriate area.

Installations that do not comply with an adequate geometry of the hose assembly may reduce significantly the life of the hose. Likewise, the use of wrongly dimensioned hoses or application in a system whose working characteristics exceed the hose specifications may shorten drastically the hose life.

The failure of an industrial hose assembly may be dangerous and expose people and property to irreversible damage. Among other occurrences that must be prevented are the high velocity and high temperature projection of conveyed fluid or granulate, the projection of couplings and it's parts, the whipping of unrestrained hose, spillage or combustion of the fluid or granulate and electrical shocks through contact with electrical sources.
