General Applications

General Applications

 N/A
  • Specially designed for municipal fire departments, navies, petrochemical, nuclear plants, and other industrial services
  • Superior nitrile/PVC rubber hose for use in supply and attack operations

Construction

Construction

 N/A Made from circularly woven 100% high tenacity synthetic yarn, completely protected and locked-in by a tough, highly resistant synthetic nitrile rubber and PVC blend extruded through the weave and forming a single homogenous construction without the use of glues or adhesives.

Lining Properties

 N/A The tensile strength of the lining and cover shall not be less than 1,750 PSI (12,000 kPa), with an ultimate elongation of liner and cover not less than 450%.

Accelerated Aging

 N/A Lining specimens subjected to an exposure of 158 ºF ± 3.6 ºF, for a duration of 96 hours shall be conditioned as per ASTM D 573, Standard Test Method for Rubber - Deterioration in an Air Oven. Then, the specimens shall be tested to ASTM D4112, Standard Test Methods for Vulcanized Rubber and Thermoplastic Elastomers- Tension, Method A. Upon evaluation, the tensile and elongation properties of the liner shall not be less than 75% of their initial values.

Abrasion Resistance

 N/A As stated in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1961, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 19 and Factory Mutual Approval Standard (FM) 2111, hose shall withstand 1 1/2 times the service test pressure without rupturing or breaking any thread in the jacket or reinforcement after 300 cycles of abrasion for a single jacketed hose. Hose assembly shall also not leak or burst after 3,000 cycles by an abrasion wheel.
