APPLICATION / TECHNICAL DATA
Lightweight and highly flexible gravity discharge hose for loading from road tankers to underground storage tanks. Well suited for electronic cross-over prevention systems
(COP) due to the integrated steel strands in the construction. The hose may also be used as Stage 1B balanced vapour recovery hose.
Type LG is used for gravity discharge only. For safety reasons, the hose is constructed to pressure rating PN 4 bar, burst pressure >20 bar.
Suitable for petroleum based products including hydrocarbon vapours, aromatics content up to 50%. Temperature range - 40°C up to +70°C. Electrical resistance <106 Ohm if static wire (steel strand) are not connected.
Lining : NBR, antistatic, no fuel solubility
Reinforcements : textile plies with static wire
Cover : black rubber with yellow PVC helix
Fittings : reusable BSP male thread hose tails of aluminium with special SPANNFIX clamps. Coupling to your requirements.
