Electrically Conductive Hose

We provide an extensive range of electric conductive chemical hoses which deliver high performance with a low lifetime cost.

Electrically conductive hose.

Light weight electrically conductive nylon core tube twin line hose assemblies prevent tangling csa listed available in 4. Choosing the correct hose made out of the right material is very important for. Add to that they often have steel wires for reinforcement. Transportation refueling stations automotive.

A twin line hose assembly can reduce part number complexity and eliminate tangled hoses in a dispenser system. Nonconductive hose on the. Depending on the location of the hose this could potentially lead to a spark that could lead to an explosion or fire. Electrically conductive rubber hoses are made out of electrically conductive rubber or thermoplastic compounds for tube and or cover.

More about electric conductive chemical hoses. Air hoses used around electrical furnaces and multipurpose hose used in close proximity to high voltage power lines should have non conductive ratings as prescribed by the respective industry. If non conductive hose is used the electrical charge formed from this molecule collision will build up in the hose fitting at the end of the hose. To prevent this thread from the very beginning our conductive hoses have electrically conductive walls.

This allows any electrostatic charge to convey directly and safely to the metallic end connections where charges can be grounded. All our hoses are according the european norm en12115 2011. Especially when conveying flammable bulk materials or when using the hoses in explosion hazard areas the possible build up of static electricity creates a particularly high risk potential. And unless designed and manufactured for specific electrical characteristics a hose s electrical properties may change from one production run to the next.

Further some rubber hoses can be non conductive at low voltages but conductive at high voltages. You may recall an earlier blog about the electrical conductivity of rubber hose back in april of 2013. A range of electrically conductive flexible hoses and flexible ductings manufactured from various materials generally suitable for use with atex compliant equipment. Non conductive hoses normally are recommended in applications where the electrical charge is transferred from the outside environment to the hose.

In this blog we discussed that unless a hose is specifically designated as either conductive or non conductive you must assume that the electrical properties of the hose are not controlled during the manufacturing process and that conductivity of the hose can change with each production.
