Hoses
PTFE hoses have such a universal area of application that the world of hose applications would be hard to imagine today without them. PTFE is particularly characterised by excellent chemical and thermal properties. PTFE hoses can generally be used in temperatures from -60 ºC to +260 ºC. PTFE is resistant to just about all chemicals and solvents with the exception of liquid alkali metals (e.g. liquid sodium). PTFE is also not resistant to chlorofluorides at higher temperatures.
Important
All the specified technical data in this documentation apply at room temperature (20 ºC). At increasing operating temperatures the mechanical properties of the PTFE will decrease and one must therefore take account of a suitable working pressure. Pulsing loads, fluctuating temperatures, high bending frequencies and extreme (continuous) vibrations will also reduce the maximum permissible working pressure. In these cases it is always advisable to contact ERIKS.

| RX® Eriflon series 800 MD (341kB) |  | Universal medium-duty spiral-corrugated PTFE hose suitable for feeding products including chemicals and food. Highly suitable in places where the hose is frequently handled in combination with overpressure or vacuum. The stainless steel cable in the recess of the corrugation means the hose less readily kinks and retains its shape at higher temperatures. |

| RX® Eriflon series 800 HD (389kB) |  | This thick-walled hose can be used in places where particularly high requirements are made of movement, handling and no kinking. The specially developed corrugated profile of the hose and the stainless steel cable in the recess of the corrugation means it can practically withstand a full vacuum and retain its shape at higher temperatures. This type of hose is also suitable for a higher working pressure than the design without cable. |

| RX® Eriflon series 1000 HD (87kB) |  | Robust and smooth transport hose of thick-walled PTFE quality with PTFE-collared couplings for applications where a sanitary connection is required. Suitable for chemicals and food. The smooth inside wall means a relatively large bending force is required. | -60 to + 260 | PTFE-collared flanges in both steel and stainless steel according to DIN or ANSI Other connections available on request. |
| RX® Eriflon series 1500 HD (44kB) |  | Transport hose with a smooth and thick-walled PTFE inside wall so a relatively large bending force is needed to achieve the indicated bending radius. As a result this type is mainly applied in fixed arrangements, e.g. as a connection between non-aligned piping or as a connection between fixed piping and equipment. The stainless steel-wound hose around the PTFE inside wall means damage is practically excluded. The hose has PTFE-collared couplings and can therefore be used for applications where a sanitary connection is required.
