Why Silicone Hose Assemblies Are Ideal for High-Purity and Thermal Applications
Key Features
Silicone hose assemblies provide excellent flexibility, biocompatibility, and resistance to extreme temperatures. They are non-reactive, non-toxic, and suitable for both sterile and demanding environments.
Selection Criteria
Selected based on temperature range (-60°C to +200°C), pressure rating, clarity (for visual inspection), reinforcement type (polyester or aramid), and required compliance (FDA, USP Class VI).
Common Applications
Used in medical devices, pharmaceutical manufacturing, dairy processing, biotechnology, and cleanroom environments where sterile and inert performance is critical.
Silicone Hose Components
Typically includes a smooth bore silicone inner tube with optional reinforcement, a durable outer cover, and stainless steel tri-clamp or barbed end fittings for secure connections.
