Certificado de Vida Util - AHE - Industrial Gas Compatibility For Flexible Hoses

The document provides information on the compatibility of different materials for flexible hoses with various industrial gases. PTFE hoses are compatible with oxygen, carbon dioxide, and inert gases. Polyester elastomer/polyamide/TEFZEL hoses are compatible with hydrogen and helium but not oxygen. PFA hoses have average permeability for hydrogen and helium and are compatible with oxygen up to 300 bar. Stainless steel hoses are compatible with all listed gases. The document also provides recommended maximum service lives for different hose materials.

Industrial gas compatibility for flexible hoses

Service Life

• The service life of the hose is based on the analysis that the hoses shall not be subjected to
misuse, damage with clean media passed through the liner.
• AHE holds the rights to asses and recommend the service life of each hose assembly,
application dependent.

Industrial Gas Compatibility


• The following suggests the recommended service life for each product.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) & Other Co-


Co-Polymer Hoses

• For PTFE products, AHE currently recommends a maximum service life of 10 years.

Elastomer Hoses

• For Elastomer products, AHE currently recommends a maximum service life of 7 years.

Convoluted – Corrugated Metallic Hoses

• For Metallic products, AHE currently recommends a maximum service life of 3 years.

Warranty

• All flexible hose assemblies come with a 12 month warranty, providing the user
adheres to the maintenance and handling guideless detailed in this document.

Other conditions may apply for specific customers at point of contract.
