Special Application Assemblies
Jacketed Assemblies
Jacketed assemblies are normally used in one of the following applications:
• As a heated transfer line for those products, such as sulphur, which must be maintained at an elevated temperature in order to flow readily. Steam or hot oil is circulated through the jacket, which in turn heats the product being conveyed in the core hose.
• As a cryogenic transfer line. Maintaining a high vacuum in the jacket effectively insulates cryogenic liquids being conveyed in the core hose.
Traced Assemblies
Traced hose assemblies are used when the product being conveyed must be heated in order to flow freely. Steam or hot oil circulated through the inner tracer hose heats the product to maintain high flow rates.
Lined Assemblies
Lined hose assemblies are used when the velocity of the conveyed product exceeds the speed at which damaging resonant vibration can initiate in an unlined corrugated metal hose.
Guarded Assemblies
Guarded assemblies are used where a corrugated metal hose could easily be damaged by rough handling, abrasion, or flexing past its minimum bend radius.
