Designed and recommended as a liquid manure drag hose, irrigation feeding line, traveling irrigator supply line, sludge injection, transport of compatible fluids (see chemical resistance chart), brackish and sea water and waste water transport.
Construction:
Made from circularly woven 100% high tenacity synthetic yarn, completely protected and locked-in by a tough, highly resistant thermoplastic polyurethane extruded through the weave, forming a single homogenous construction without the use of glues or adhesives. Its construction does not permit corrosion or scaling, while giving a high resistance against abrasion and cutting. Easy handling, storage & transport, which allows for fast installation and retrieval. 2% maximum hose elongation and 10% maximum hose expansion.
Lining Properties:
a. Ultimate Tensile Strength of the lining: Minimum guaranteed value of 40 MPa (5.800 psi).
b. Ultimate Elongation: 500% minimum.
The OROFLEX DRAG hose will extend the lifetime of your application when under extreme conditions, where abrasion is the main concern. Under practical conditions, thermoplastic polyurethane is considered to be the most abrasion resistant elastomeric material.
Service Temperature Range:
Ozone Resistance:
No visible signs of cracking will appear due to the ozone. Excellent weather and UV resistance.
Exposure to seawater and contamination by most chemical substances, hydrocarbons, oils, and greases has no effect on the short or long term performance of the hose. A chemical resistance chart is available and TIPSA will supply specific chemical resistance data when requested by the purchaser for unique applications.
