Ocelflex industries' PTFE Hose are designed to ensure minimum porosity and maximum flexibility. These non metallic hoses are available in long lengths. Plain PTFE is excellent for applications in which minimum flexing or movement is required.

Smooth Bore PTFE Hose offers maximum flow, along with average flexibility. It is plain and smooth from inside and outside, without convolutions. So it can be easily cleaned from inside.

Heavy gauge hard Stainless Steel 304 wire is used for external braiding, which provides increased pressure rating and external resistance of the hose from corrosive chemicals.

Why use Smooth Bore PTFE Hoses?
Easy cleanability avoids bacterial growth in Food & Beverages industrial applications.
Cheaper compared to its convoluted hoses.
Tufted or Flared Smooth bore end fittings offer additional single piece PTFE lining, resulting in no-contact with any metal surface.

Stainless Steel braided PTFE Convoluted hose consists of an inner sprial convoluted tube and an outer reinforced braid.

Outer Reinforced Braid
The outer braid is composed of thin multiple stainless steel wire. Ocelflex' stainless steel wire braid cover advantages :
PTFE hoses are available with Stainless Steel 300 Series Braid for usage in high temperature applications.
Depending upon the pressure parameter in the application, the PTFE hose is designed using either single braid or double braid or multiple braids.
Ocelflex manufactures wide range of braid constructions including 24, 36, 48 and 96 carriers. Bright annealed and high tensile wires are used for the production of metal braids.

Inner Convoluted Tube
The inner PTFE tube is convoluted using a forming die, and then heated to bond the layers. The convolutions are helically formed to provide maximum flexibility even for smaller lengths. Ocelflex' convoluted PTFE hose design advantage :
Ocelflex's uniquely designed Convoluted PTFE hoses provide greater flexibility even for hoses with larger inner diameter, or smaller lengths, without compromising on other technical specifications.
Our PTFE Convoluted hoses have convolutions spread at a greater angle so as to provide better cleanability and drain-ability as compared to other convoluted hoses available in the market.
Tufted or Flared Convoluted bore end fittings offer additional single piece PTFE lining, resulting in no-contact with any metal surface.
As the inner diameter of Smooth Bore PTFE Hoses increase, the flexibility reduces. For particular smaller lengths the flexibility for larger sizes is very less. So for larger diameters, plain PTFE hose provides minimum flexibility, and behaves as a rigid pipe. In order to increase the flexibility, Convoluted PTFE hoses are preferred.

The hose has excellent temperature characteristics, chemical resistance, low coefficient of friction, resists deterioration and has mild pressure ratings.

Thick walled PTFE tube is lined inside a Stainless Steel Braided PTFE Hose. Used in application which have higher pressure rating and corrosive environments.
The PTFE liner is extruded within the PTFE Hose and flared or tufted, as a result of which the inner media does not come in contact with any metal surface. Outer thick walled stainless steel braided protection makes it ideal for applications in which the external environment may be corrosive. Approved for food, chemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.

Thick walled PTFE Lining makes the hose rigid, allowing minimal thermal expansion contraction, but not much flexibility. The thickness will depend upon the applications, but more commonly the thickness of the inner lining will range from 3mm to 8mm. The plain inner surface provides better cleanability and drain-ability, at the same time adequate outer PTFE Hose protects the assembly against external corrosive environments.
Heavy walled PTFE Hose is 100% leak tested and a cost effective solution for a wide range of applications.
