SmoothFlex™ is a flexible smooth bore PTFE hose with stainless steel braid reinforcement that is designed for long trouble-free service in a wide range of applications that may involve pressure, temperature and chemical extremes. The hose is available in virgin PTFE for high purity applications and anti-static conductive black PTFE where electrostatic dissipation is required. SmoothFlex™ is an excellent choice for pharmaceuticals, food and beverage applications, the transfer of viscous media such as paints and adhesives, fluid transfer of corrosive chemicals, and high temperature hyraulic applications.

304 S.S. flexible metal hose lined with smooth PTFE liner and flared thru standard end fittings. Designed for applications requiring a large diameter smooth bore flexible hose combining the unexcelled corrosion resistance and sanitary properties of PTFE and the durability of flexible metal hose. This smooth bore hose is specified and used in an endless variety of applications where the conditions of service are beyond the capabilities of rubber, synthetic or metal hose alone. The PTFE smooth bore I.D.’s minimize pressure drop. MTH is available with virgin PTFE liner.

Insulation and heat tracing are not only used to prevent freezing of the process fluid, but can also be used to minimize energy losses and reduce viscosity. The thermal conductivity for Durcor® is extremely low, especially when compared to steel lined pipe. Analysis of this feature can often eliminate the need for tracing and or reduce the thickness of insulation required to maintain a given temperature. On long tracing runs, Durcor® flanged Flexijoints® should be provided to compensate for any pipe expansion or contraction.

Durcor®-62™ Lap Joint Flanges are manufactured from PureFlex proprietary advanced fiber reinforced composite. Durcor®-62™ has tensile and compressive strengths that rival steel along with outstanding impact resistance that is unmatched in the industry. Its reinforcing fibers are long and interlocked; this interlocked reinforcement system transfers loads throughout the fiber matrix, making Durcor®-62™ flanges virtually indestructible. The strength of Durcor®-62™ enables the flanges to maintain CLASS 150 rating and ANSI B16.5 dimensions and allows it to be installed in any type of piping system without the need for special considerations. Durcor®-62™ Flanges excel in temperatures from -60°F to +300°F and has only .001" of thermal expansion across its full temperature range.
