Acid hose,
chemical
suction & discharge hose must not be used at temperatures
and pressures above those recommended by the manufacturer. All
operators must be thoroughly trained in the care and use of these
hoses and must at all times wear protective clothing. A hose system
failure could cause the release of a poisonous, corrosive or flammable
material. When handling easily contaminated or hazardous materials
it is critical to select the proper hose. Never allow chemicals
or acids to drip on the exterior of a hose or allow hose to lay
in a pool of chemicals/acids since the hose cover may not have
the resistance of the tube.
Should a corrosive material come in contact with the reinforcing
material, early failure could result. EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN
WHEN FLUSHING OUT A CHEMICAL OR ACID HOSE WITH WATER, SOME CHEMICALS,
SUCH AS CONCENTRATED ACIDS, MAY REACT WITH WATER AND CAUSE SPATTERING
WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO EYES OR OTHER AREAS OF
THE BODY. When flushing a hose, disposal of the effluent must
be made in such a manner that environmental problems are not created.
We offer a variety of tube and covers for the many chemical and
acids used.
