Dynaflex has developed a high performance hose which can satisfy dynamic application requirements that does not encounter problems such as lack of flexibility, greater weight, and poor handling as compared to heavier rubber manufacturers. It is yellow so it can be easily seen under water. Recommended for sub-sea control systems and other applications where high working pressure coupled with low volumetric expansion and corrosion resistance is essential. The hose is wireless and stainless steel couplings are available for corrosion resistance. Below is an explanation of the different grades of stainless steel and different types of fittings used.
What are the different grades of stainless steel?
The three most popular types are 303, 304, and 316. 303 and 304 are a lower grade material or made from a material that prohibits rust. 316 stainless steel is suitable for salt water applications and prohibits rust.
What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel.
316 stainless has 2.0% to
2.5% molybdenum compared
to 304, which has about 0.5%.
316 stainless
generally costs
25%-35% more than
304.
There are 3 different types of fittings available for this high pressure hose, “M” fittings, Male Pipe Thread fittings, and JIC fittings. “M” fittings are rated for 10,000psi working pressure and 40,000 psi burst pressure.
Male Pipe Thread fittings work with the use of an interference fit of the mating male and female threads to obtain a leak proof joint. Male Pipe Thread fittings are rated for 15,000 working pressure.
Joint Industry Conference specifies a 37 degree angle flare or seat to be used with high pressure hydraulic tubing. Couplings specified as JIC have 37 degree tapered seats.
Available in twinline or multiline configurations.
Lengths up to 2500ft.
Alternative tube and cover materials are available for certain applications.
