PTFE - The Optimum Choice For Hose Linings

Section from a PTFE Molecule, 16 Angstrom Units long PTFE, or Polytetrafluoroethylene, comprises of long-
chain molecules of carbon atoms, each linked to two
fluorine atoms.
The fluorine atoms provide a helical spiral which
surrounds the carbon chain and protects it.
It is this structure which creates the unique properties for
which PTFE is well-known.

• Excellent Chemical Resistance

PTFE is renowned as the most chemically resistant material
known. Only a very few, very unusual substances and conditions
can affect it, like Fluorine gas at high temperature and pressure
and liquid, boiling sodium metal.

PTFE lined hoses can therefore be used for a wider variety of

chemicals than any other hose type, making it the ideal choice
for very corrosive chemical applications and multi-product
applications.

• Non-Stick Surface
The use of PTFE as a surface for cookware products has
demonstrated to the world how easily cleanable PTFE surfaces are.

This means that PTFE lined hoses can be purged 100% clean
more quickly, easily and reliably than any other type of hose.

• Excellent Temperature Range

The cookware application also demonstrates another of PTFE’s
many attributes - temperature resistance. PTFE itself can
be used as a hose liner at temperatures from -150˚C up to
+260˚C, dependent upon the hose design and the application
conditions.

This is the widest temperature range of any rubber or plastic

hose lining material.

• Very High Electrical Resistance

Most aerospace electrical wiring has a PTFE cover, due to the
excellent electrical resistance of PTFE. This property is however,
a disadvantage in some hose applications where there is a risk
of developing an electrostatic charge inside the hose bore.
Aflex Hose have developed a non-contaminant, FDA and USP
Class VI compliant solution to this problem.

= Fluorine Atom • Hose Design

The only issue with PTFE as a hose lining material is the best
= Carbon Atom way it can be integrated in to the hose design. This is where
Aflex Hose have a proven record of success over the last 40 years.

Corroline hose was developed and introduced by Aflex Hose in

2008, specifically to provide customers with a new smooth bore
PTFE lined hose which had better flexibility than other chemical
hose products which were available.
More recently customers have asked whether Aflex could improve
their product further still by improving the kink resistance, while
retaining the excellent flexibility.
In response to our customer’s requests Aflex Hose have introduced
a new version of Corroline, which combines excellent flexibility
with exceptional kink resistance - CORROLINE+.

Introduction
Corroline+ hose was designed and developed to provide customers with a universal chemical hose product which combined all the requirements
they had requested for chemical plant applications, particularly the need for improved flexibility and kink resistance.
Corroline+ hose provides a superior alternative to the wide variety of alternative Chemical Hose products currently available.
Construction
Corroline+ is built around a unique PTFE hose liner design, which has a slightly rippled smooth bore inside, but convoluted outside to generate
excellent flexibility combined with “hoop strength”. Grade GP hose has a natural (clear) PTFE liner tube and Grade AS hose has an antistatic (Black)
PTFE liner tube.
A stainless helical wire is wound in to the external convolutions, which adds to the kink resistance, crush resistance and the resistance of the hose
to both pressure and vacuum.
This reinforced PTFE Liner construction is strong enough to withstand vacuum to -0.9bar and kinking without the need for either internal
convolutions or the need to bond the liner to an outer cover, making it an ideal hose liner design, and a significant improvement upon standard
products currently available.
The PTFE liner is then further reinforced with a 304 SS wire braid. A smooth finish black antistatic EPDM rubber cover is extruded over the braid,
which includes a helical reinforcement wire encapsulated in the rubber cover which renders the hose kinkproof. The rubber cover has a mirror
smooth surface finish to aid cleaning, and the antistatic rubber is specially compounded to make the hose ‘fireproof’.
Corroline+ Hose - The best Flexible Hose for Chemical Plant Applications.

Solid PTFE Adaptor Plate

‘Step-Up’ PTFE Lined Flange Fitting Design for Corroline Hose

A = Pipe Inlet Diameter
B = Hose Inlet Diameter
Because Corroline+ Hose has better flow rates than some larger bore
sizes of Convoluted PTFE hose, it represents a superior alternative
when fitted with the larger size flanges in some applications.
It is, however, necessary to also “Step-Up” the PTFE-lined bore, to 3” PTFE Lined Pipe 2” Bore Hose
ensure a diameter match with the mating connector.
This is best achieved using a solid PTFE Adaptor Plate, as shown in the
drawing.

Corroline+ Dip Pipes,
Straight or 90° Elbow

Fixed Dip Pipes

Description Fixed Dip Pipe (90° Elbow)
Fixed Dip Pipes are fairly rigid, thick wall PTFE tubes, either straight
or 90˚ elbowed, which are directly crimped to the end of Corroline+
hoses. They are designed for insertion into drums, tanks and reaction
vessels in order to suction drain (or inject) process fluids transferred
through the hose.

Materials
• Standard dip pipes are in anti-static (AS) PTFE
• Ferrules, most in Grade 304 SS, some sizes in Grade 316L SS

How to order
Specify the size and material of the dip pipe, whether it is straight or
90˚ elbowed. Give the length of the straight leg of the dip pipe and
the length of the rest of the hose assembly separately.

Maximum Working Pressures

Dip Pipes are normally only tested to 6 Bar Pressure, and are not
suitable for use at pressures higher than 3 Bar. They are usable at
negative pressure up to -0.9bar vacuum.
If higher pressure ratings are required, consult Aflex Hose.

Lengths
Dip Pipes are supplied as standard in 1 metre straight lengths, but
can be supplied in any length to individual requirements.
Note: Not available as a Hydraulic Fitting.

Corroline+ Hose: Special Usage Conditions

• Cleaning & Sterilising Systems - CIP, SIP and Autoclave

CIP & SIP – PTFE liner tubes are chemically resistant to all CIP, SIP and Autoclave conditions. A primary consideration is whether the cleaning and
purging cycle is likely to develop an electrostatic charge on the internal surface of the liner, in which case AS (Anti-Static) grade hose is required.
AS grade hose and Electrostatic charge generating systems are fully described in the hose liner section.
CIP systems using high electrical resistivity solvents like Toluene will require AS grade hose.
Another electrostatic generation problem arises when wet steam is passed through, or when the cleaning fluids or WFI are purged out of the line using
nitrogen, compressed air or another gas, because droplets of liquid or water in the gas then generate a multi-phase condition until they are cleared
out, which will generate a static charge, and so will require AS grade hose.

• Autoclave
Corroline+ hose is able to withstand at least 100 x 30 minute autoclave cycles at relatively high autoclave temperatures (upto 135°C, 275°F). Consult
Aflex Hose for more specific information.

• PTFE Hose-Use with Alkali Metals, Halogens and certain Halogens containing Chemicals
PTFE hose liners react chemically with Fluorine, Chlorine Trifluoride and molten Alkali Metals and so no hose grades are suitable for use with these chemicals.
When PTFE lined hose is used to carry Chlorine or Bromine, either as gasses or fluids, trace quantities can diffuse into and through the PTFE liner wall
thickness. These will then combine with atmospheric moisture to corrode the SS braid or rubber cover outside the liner tube. It has been found that
Corroflon SP, HB or KYB hose is best suited for these applications - Please consult the Corroflon brochure.
Depending upon the internal pressures and temperatures, some other gasses and fluids with a high halogen content may also be transmitted in trace
quantities through the wall of the PTFE tube, including Hydrogen Fluoride, Hydrogen Chloride, Carbonyl Chloride (Phosgene), Carbon Tetrachloride
and others. Please consult with Aflex Hose for a suitable hose grade recommendation.
• Other “Penetrating” Fluids and Gases
Sulphur Trioxide, Methyl Methacrylate, Caprolactam and Glacial Acetic Acid are some other chemicals which do not react chemically with the PTFE,
but which can be absorbed and transmitted in trace quantities through the PTFE liner tube wall - please consult Aflex Hose for the optimum solution
with these chemicals.
Generally, however, as a hydrophobic (non-wetting) material, PTFE is very resistant to the absorption of chemicals. In some cases, PTFE has superior
resistance to diffusion, for example to the diffusion of automotive fuels, in comparison with all other plastics and rubbers.

• Gas/Fluid Cycling
There are some applications where fluids then gasses are passed through the hose, in a cyclic sequence.
This is normally associated with changes in temperature and/or pressure. For complex reasons these conditions are extremely damaging to the hose
liner, whatever material it is made from.
For example, hoses are sometimes used to pass steam, water, steam etc into rubber moulding presses, in order to heat the mould, then rapidly cool it
before reheating in the next cycle. Hoses of all types fail rapidly in such an application and PTFE lined hoses are no exception.
Please contact Aflex Hose for further information if these conditions apply.

• Connecting Assemblies for Use in Applications

The lengths of hose assemblies and their configuration in use when connected into the application must always be in accordance with the Hose
Configuration information at the end of this product literature.
When being connected for use in applications, the end fittings on hose assemblies must be connected to correct mating parts in the correct way, using
the correct tools, spanners, clamps, nuts and bolts etc. The connections must be sufficiently tightened to ensure that the joint is leak free but not be
over tightened as this can damage the sealing surfaces, especially with PTFE lined and flared end fittings.
In applications involving the transfer through the hose of expensive or dangerous fluids or gases, the hoses and connections must be pressure
tested in situ before being put in to service. This should be done with some harmless media to 1.5 times the maximum working pressure of the hose
assembly, as stated in the product literature.
If in doubt please contact Aflex Hose for advice.

• Special Applications
Aflex Hose PTFE lined hose products are not rated as suitable for use in the following, special applications:
• All Radioactive Applications involving high energy radiation, including Gamma radiation (degrades PTFE)
• All Medical Implantation Applications.
For Aerospace Applications, please contact Aflex for the appropriate hose choice.

• Silicone-Free Application requirements

Some applications, particularly paint manufacturing plants, and other specialised applications require that hoses do not include any silicone containing
materials in their manufacture, or sometimes that hoses are guaranteed to be 100% Silicone Free. Customers or Distributors must specifically identify
and define any such requirements in writing on all enquiries/orders.

Hose Configuration & Length Calculations
- for Bend Radius

Hose Configuration Requirements

Hose Assemblies are usually connected at both ends in service. They may then either remain in a fixed, or static configuration or in a flexing, or
dynamic configuration.

Whether static or dynamic, the First Rule concerning the configuration of the hose is that the bend radius of the hose must never be less than the
Minimum Bend Radius (MBR) for the hose as listed in the relevant hose brochure.

The most common situation when this is likely to occur is when the hose is flexed at the end fitting, with stress being applied to the hose at an
angle to the axis of the end fitting. Typically, this happens either because the length of the hose is too short, or because the weight of the hose plus
contents creates a stress at an angle to the end fitting.

The Second Rule, therefore, if possible, is to design the configuration to ensure that any flexing in the hose takes place away from the end fittings.

(Dynamic) Configuration (Static) Configuration

INCORRECT - Hose too short INCORRECT - Weight of hose is at 90° to Axis of End Fittings

Less than MBR Less than MBR

CORRECT - No flex at End Fittings CORRECT - No flex at end fittings

90° Elbow
End Fittings

27
Hose Configuration & Length Calculations
- for Abrasion & Torque
The Third Rule is that the hose configuration should always be designed, and supported where necessary, to avoid any possibility of external abrasion.
In some cases, the length, configuration and angle of the hose can be designed to avoid abrasion. In others, static or moving support frames or
support wheels are required.

INCORRECT - Abrasion against hose INCORRECT - Abrasion inside support

Abrasion

CORRECT - No hose abrasion CORRECT - No abrasion over support

The Fourth Rule is that the hose must not be subjected to torque, either during connection, or as a result of the flexing cycle.
Torque (twist) in the hose can be applied during connection if the hose is accidentally twisted, or if the second end being connected is a screwed connection,
and the hose is subjected to torque during final tightening.
In a flexing application, if any flexing cycle of the hose occurs in 3 dimensions instead of 2, then torque will also occur:

INCORRECT - Flexing movement takes place in 3 dimensions so

CORRECT - Flexing movement takes place in 2 dimensions
torque is applied

28
Hose Configuration - for Length Calculation

Calculating the Hose Length

The formula for calculating the bent section of the hose length
around a radius is derived from the basic formula that the
L = 1/4 x 2πR
circumference of a circle = 2πR, where R = the radius of the circle,
and π = a constant, = 3.142.

So, if the hose goes around a 90˚ bend, which is 1/4 of a full
circumference, and the radius of the bend is R, then the length of

R
the hose around the bend is = 1/4 x 2πR. Or half way round, in a
U-shape, = 1/2 x 2πR.

Note :
In calculating the length of a hose assembly, the (non-flexible)
length of the end fittings must be added in, also the length of any
straight sections of hose, as in the following example:

Example :
To calculate the length for a 2” bore size hose with flange end
fittings, to be fitted in a 90˚ configuration with one leg 400mm long,
the other 600mm long.

Length of Bent Section (yellow) = 1/4 x 2πR (334)

= 1/4 x 2 x 3.142 x 334 = 525mm

Length of top, Straight Section, including the top end fitting length
R
= 600 - 334 = 266mm L = 1/2 x 2πR

Length of bottom end fitting = 66mm

Total length of Hose Assembly = 525 + 266 + 66 = 857mm

Things to consider

(a) A hose will normally take the longest radius available to it to

go around a corner, not the MBR! Also - always remember to
include the non-flexible end fitting lengths.

(b) In dynamic applications, remember to always calculate the

lengths for the most extended configuration during the
flexing cycle, not the least extended.

(c) If the configuration is simply too complex for calculation, then

obtain a length of flexible tubing of some kind, mark on paper,
or a wall, or floor, or both where the connection points will be
relative to each other, scaled down if necessary, then manually
run the flexible tubing between them with full radii round
bends. Measure the extended length, then scale up if necessary
to determine the approximate length of the hose.

If in doubt, consult Aflex Hose. Note: The bend radius is measured to the inside edge of the hose,
For the minimum bend radius refer to page 6.
