Composite Hose


Composite Hoses are manufactured on the mandrel wrapped principle and consist of an inner wire spiral upon which layers of fabric and film are wrapped and wound with an external wire spiral. The tension between each wire spiral gives the hose its pressure capability.

A hose’s end application determines what materials will be used in its assembly. These can include: Polypropylene, Polyester and Polyamide. The wire helixes can be of galvanised steel, aluminium, stainless steel, or polypropylene-coated steel.

The following are the common supply but other special application products can be supplied.

Transfuel


Transfuel is a suction and discharge hose mainly for the transfer of petroleum products by road, rail tankers and loading gantries. It is not advisable to use this hose with aviation fuels due to possible contamination from zinc flakes.
