FLATOIL - 10

Applications:

Designed and recommended for fuel and oil transfer operations in refineries, maritime industry, chemical plants and military installations. Ideal for brackish and sea water transfer, ship-to-shore unloading, ship-to-ship refueling, bulk fuel unloading/loading, tank-to-tank transfer, aircraft refueling and fuel delivery to domicile.

Construction:

Made from circularly woven 100% high tenacity synthetic yarn, fully protected and blocked by a tough and highly resistant thermoplastic polyurethane extruded through the weave, forming a single homogeneous construction without the use of glues or adhesives. Includes 4 electrical wires protected with a polyester braided sheet to help prevent static electricity buildup. The construction of the tube does not allow corrosion or scaling, while still providing high resistance to abrasion and cuts. Easy handling, storage and transportation, allowing for quick installation and recovery. Maximum hose elongation of 2% and maximum hose expansion of 10%.

Abrasion resistance:

The hose will extend application life in extreme conditions, where abrasion is the primary concern. Thermoplastic polyurethane is considered the most abrasion resistant elastomeric material.

Service temperature range:

From -50ºC to 65ºC with peaks up to 80ºC. Special versions for higher and lower temperatures available on request.

Ozone resistance:

No visible signs of cracking will appear due to the ozone.
Excellent resistance to atmospheric agents and UV rays.

Chemical resistance:

Exposure to seawater and contamination by most chemicals, hydrocarbons, oils and greases has no effect on the short or long term performance of the hose. A chemical resistance table is available. We can provide chemical resistance data when requested by the purchaser for specific applications.
