The Tigerflex Ureflex 1.25″ Hose is a heavy-duty, polyurethane-lined material handling hose designed for demanding applications involving abrasive materials. Manufactured by Tigerflex, this hose combines durability with flexibility, making it suitable for various industrial and agricultural uses.
Key Features:
- Construction: Features a smooth black polyurethane liner that provides superior abrasion resistance, coupled with a convoluted black high molecular weight (HMW) PVC cover for enhanced flexibility, even in sub-zero temperatures.
- Reinforcement: Incorporates a rigid white PVC helix that maintains hose integrity under both vacuum and pressure conditions.
- Static Dissipative Cover: Specially formulated to help prevent the build-up of static electricity, ensuring safety during material transfer.
- Oil Resistance: The polyurethane liner resists most animal and petroleum-based oils, extending the hose’s service life in various environments.
Specifications:
- Inner Diameter (ID): 1.25 inches (31.75 mm)
- Outer Diameter (OD): Approximately 1.53 inches (38.86 mm)
- Maximum Working Pressure: 50 PSI at 70°F (20°C)
- Vacuum Rating: Full vacuum capability at 68°F (20°C)
- Bend Radius: 2 inches at 68°F (20°C)
- Temperature Range: -40°F (-40°C) to +150°F (+65°C)
Applications:
- Agricultural Dry Fertilizers: Efficiently handles the transfer of dry fertilizers in farming operations.
- Air Seeder Lines: Ideal for conveying seeds and granular materials in air seeder equipment.
- Industrial Vacuum Equipment: Suitable for use in vacuum systems transporting abrasive materials.
- Material Handling: Designed for heavy-duty applications involving the movement of rock, gravel, sand, crushed concrete, and other abrasive substances.
Benefits:
- Abrasion Resistance: The thick polyurethane liner offers extended hose life and reduced operating costs compared to rubber or standard PVC hoses.
- Cold-Flex Materials: Maintains flexibility in sub-zero temperatures, ensuring reliable performance in cold environments.
- Ease of Handling: The convoluted outer cover enhances flexibility, making the hose easier to maneuver and install.
Considerations:
- Proper Coupling: To achieve maximum working pressure, ensure the use of appropriate coupling procedures.
- Temperature Effects: Be aware that maximum working pressure decreases as temperature increases.
The Tigerflex Ureflex 1.25″ Hose is a robust solution for industries requiring efficient and reliable material handling capabilities, particularly in abrasive and demanding environments.
