Ocelflex' Smooth bore PTFE Hose are designed with a uniform, smooth inner core, providing an exceptionally straight flow path for fluids and gases and ensuring minimum porosity. These non metallic hoses are available in long lengths upto 50 mtrs. Plain PTFE Hoses is excellent for applications in which minimum flexing or movement is required but better cleanablity is necessary.

To enhance mechanical strength and pressure handling, smooth bore PTFE hoses are typically reinforced with a high tensile stainless steel wire braid or additional reinforcements. This reinforcement allows the hose to withstand high internal pressures while maintaining flexibility for ease of installation in compact or dynamic systems.

Smooth Bore PTFE Hose, often referred to as Smooth Bore Teflon® hoses, 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 high tensile Stainless Steel wire is used for external braiding, which provides increased pressure rating and external resistance of the hose from corrosive chemicals.

Compared to convoluted PTFE hoses, smooth bore hoses are preferred where maximum flow efficiency, easy cleaning, and minimal particle entrapment are critical. They provide a reliable, long-lasting solution for industries that demand both performance and purity.

Ocelflex offer specialized Tafted or Tufted or Flared Smooth bore PTFE Hose end connections ensuring a single piece PTFE lining, no-contact of inner media with any metal surface and leak proof connections.

As the inner diameter of Smooth Bore PTFE Hoses increase, the flexibility reduces. For particular smaller lengths the flexibility in larger diameters 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, often reffered to as Convoluted Teflon® hoses or Corrugated Teflon® Hoses, are preferred. Stainless Steel braided PTFE Convoluted hose consists of an inner sprial PTFE relatively thin walled convoluted tube and an outer reinforced braid.

The convoluted design enhances flexibility and kink resistance, reducing the risk of hose damage during operation. When combined with external stainless steel braiding, PTFE convoluted hoses can also handle moderate to high pressures while retaining their flexibility and structural integrity.

The outer reinforcement consists of multiple layers of fine stainless steel wires, precision-braided to enhance the hose’s mechanical strength and pressure handling capability. Based on the pressure requirements, Ocelflex offers single, double and triple braid reinforced Convoluted PTFE Hoses ( or Corrugated PTFE Hoses ).

Ocelflex offers a wide range of braid constructions over the Convoluted PTFE Hoses, including 24, 36, 48, and 96 carriers, using bright annealed and high tensile stainless steel wires for superior durability and consistency.

At Ocelflex, the inner PTFE tube is formed using a precision-controlled die and thermally processed to achieve a stable and uniform thickness structure. The helical convolutions, often referred to as corrugations, are specifically engineered to deliver maximum flexibility, even in shorter hose lengths or complex routing conditions.

Ocelflex' specially engineered and optimized convolution geometry with a wider pitch angle provide enhanced flexibility and cleanability, even for hoses with larger inner diameters or limited installation lengths, without compromising performance.

Ocelflex' tufted ( tafted ) or flared end connections incorporate a continuous PTFE liner, ensuring zero media contact with metal surfaces, making them ideal for high-purity and corrosive applications. We offer flared / tafted connections for all PTFE Hose variations including electrically conductive ( or anti static ) and vacuum PTFE hoses.

Ocelflex' Heavy Walled PTFE Lined hose is designed with a thick PTFE lining of uniform thickness 3 mm to 8 mm and and outer heavy duty stainless steel braided flexible connector construction.

The PTFE liner is extruded outside the heavy walled 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.

Unlike other heavy duty PTFE hoses available in the market, Ocelflex' heavy walled PTFE Lined Hoses offer more flexibility and thermal compensation. The heavy walled PTFE Lined Hoses behave more like a rigid pipe in smaller lengths.

Ocelflex offers a wide range of braid constructions, including 24, 36, 48, and 96 carriers, using bright annealed and high tensile stainless steel wires for superior durability and consistency.

At Ocelflex, the smooth 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 in pharmaceuticals and chemical industries.
