Uni Chem 700 is a multi-layer thermoplastic hose manufactured from Polypropylene, Polyethylene and Polyester films and Polypropylene fabrics, with a weather-proof and abrasion resistant outer cover made of Polyvinyl coated Polyester fabric. Outer cover is also available in Elastothane, a special PU coated fabric; its UV, Ozone, Sunlight and weathering resistance, offers superior temperature and abrasion characteristics.
All the different layers are wrapped together and tensioned between internal and external wire spirals. This enables our product to meet the requirement of the Petrol-chemical industry and those of the Oil & Gas industry.
Universeflex Chem assemblies are fitted with an extensive range of couplings readily available, externally swaged with crimping ferrules.
Universeflex Chem assemblies are tested at 1 1⁄2 times rated working pressures for safety and reliability, in accordance with EN ISO 1402. The securing ferrule, at one end of the hose, is permanently marked by engraving, with manufacturer’s name, nominal bore, the hose assembly serial number and the test date. The marking of hose assemblies is made in compliance with Ped Directive (97/23/ CE). Full test certification can be supplied on request.
Universeflex Chem hoses can be supplied in the Firetec version with ADR self-estinguish CL1 cover and additional fireproof layers.
Burst pressure indicated, is at ambient temperature when tested in accordance with EN ISO 1402.
Electrical continuity is achieved by the two wires bonded to the end fittings; this helps dissipate accumulated charge and to avoid static flash. Upon request it’s possibile to manufacture Universeflex Chem hoses in accordance to the Directive 94/9/EC “Atex”, with a special outer antistatic black cover and ground connection cable, for explosive environment.
Universeflex Chem 700 HD and CHEM SD are chemically compatible and mechanically engineered to handle a wide range of hazardous chemicals.
