Hoses for high pressure gases

High pressure gases are transferred under pressure above 140 bar and therefore demand special types of flex-
ible hoses. The most common applications of such usage are: filling up and emptying of gas tanks and cylinders,
industrial installations, medical and laboratory installations. Typical gases used are: oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen,
helium, argon, carbon dioxide, acetylene and many other gases, including mixtures.

Hoses used for high pressure gas transfer:

- rubber hydraulic hoses,
- thermoplastic hoses,
- PTFE hoses,
- steel hoses,
- UHP SPIR STAR® hoses.

Before choosing a hose for high pressure gas transfer application, we need to consider the following issues:

Permeation through the hose wall

High pressure gases exhibit a tendency to permeate - to pass through the hose walls. A phenomenon of gas per-
meation is highly complex and depends on such factors as: medium and its molecular structure, velocity and a
type of flow (laminar or turbulent), temperature, thickness of a hose wall, its material and structure; particularly the
degree of porosity of a hose material. In order to measure the precise rate of permeation, test procedures must
be carried out under the actual or simulated working conditions.

The rate of permeation is higher when the particles of gases are small (helium, hydrogen) and when the hose wall
is thin and with porosity. For those reasons:
- an external layer of rubber or thermoplastic hoses used for gases should be pin pricked to avoid accumulation
of gas under the external layer,
- special PTFE hoses should be used for high pressure gases (HPG). Their permeability is lower because PTFE
is processed in a special way,
- when dangerous gases are conveyed, consideration should be given to the issue of gas accumulation in a
confined area around the hose,
- some gases or by-products of their reaction with e.g. moisture can damage the braid of the hose, its fittings or
other parts of equipment.

Working pressure
According to ISO7751 standard a safety factor (ratio of working pressure to burst pressure) for gases should be
1:4. Testing pressure should be twice as high as the working pressure.

Working temperature
Gas expansion often causes a sudden temperature drop beyond regular working conditions. Take that process
into account when choosing the material of the hose and fittings. It is generally recommended to use stainless
steel fittings and brass nuts.

Cleanliness and degreasing

If a hose is used for oxygen, its cleanliness and degreasing becomes crucial to avoid fire or explosion. Hose as-
semblies for oxygen must be degreased using special procedure.

 INDUSTRIAL HOSES - technical gas

Electrostatic properties
Pure, single phase gases (gas without droplets of fluid or solid contaminants) usually do not require special, antistatic
PTFE or thermoplastic material. Multiphase media (gas with fluid or solid contaminants) must not be transferred
by PTFE or thermoplastic hoses because of a risk of electrostatic charges. Antistatic PTFE (with carbon additives)
is not suitable for high pressure gases due to increased micro porosity of this material.

Flow velocity and pressure pulsation

Appropriate construction of an installation should eliminate pressure pulsation. If a rise of pressure caused by
pulsation occurs it must not exceed maximum working pressure. Flow velocity in corrugated steel hose assemblies
should not exceed 30 m/sec - a turbulent flow can cause vibrations and damage the hose.

Safety warning
High dynamics of a gas expansion process may contribute to a crack or tearing of a hose fitting. It causes potential
risk of damage and harm to people, equipment and installation. To prevent such danger it is recommended to use
e.g. steel wires fitted to the hose as a safety measure.

Thermoplastic hoses for high pressure gases

The external layer of thermoplastic hoses must be pin-pricked (see chapter: HIGH PRESSURE, section - thermo-
plastic hoses). Confirm the medium being transferred to application. Use 1:4 safety factor.

SPIR STAR hoses for high pressure gases

The external layer of SPIR STAR® hoses must be pin-pricked (see chapter: HIGH PRESSURE - UHP equipment,
section - SPIR STAR® hoses). Confirm the medium being transferred to application. Use 1:6 safety factor.

PTFE hoses for high pressure gases

HWDB / HPG
Material: Smooth PTFE
Reinforcement: Double AISI 304 steel wire braid
Working temp.: From -70°C up to +260°C

SMOOTHBORE PTFE hose version. A heavy wall made of the uniquely processed PTFE (reduced micro porosity)
and a double steel wire braid of the hose make it suitable for high pressure gas applications.
Assembly - use fittings and ferrules from AF-TL series.
For temperatures above +130°C reduce the maximum working pressure given in the tables by 0.75% for
each 1°C of temperature rise above +130°C.
Example: at +170°C maximum working pressure for AF-HWDB/HPG-06 hose:
225 bar - (170°C - 130°C) x 0.75 = 225 bar - 30% = 157.5 bar.

Fittings for high pressure gas hoses

High pressure gas hoses can be used with many types of fittings in different shapes. Most of those fittings are ad-
justed to be connected to the valves of gas cylinders. The types of couplings of gas cylinder valves are listed in PN-
81/M-69229 and DIN477-1. The standards specify the types of couplings (sizes, threads) and indicate the application
with the particular type of gas. The size and shape of a tail end fitting depends on the size and type of the hose (rubber
hydraulic, thermoplastic, PTFE, steel, SPIR STAR®). Material of the fittings must be resistant to the corrosive effect
of gases, while some other materials must not be used (e.g. copper and copper alloys for acetylene and ammonia).
Usually a fitting made of AISI 304 stainless steel with a brass nut are applicable.
Other types of couplings according to the customer’s specification or standards are also available e.g. elbows, but
also those made of other materials e.g. zinc plated carbon steel, AISI 316 stainless steel.
