Products.
Hose Nominal Size
The nominal inside diameter of the hose.
Number of Braid Layers
Indicated the number of braid layers
required to achieve the pressure ratings listed.
Nominal Outside
Diameter
Nominal outside diameter of the
hose or the hose and indicated number of braid layers. This column
is usually used to determine the proper braid sleeve/ferrule or
the cover dimensions.
Minimum Centerline Bend
Radius
The hose may be bent to a radius
not less than the indicated amount without permanent deformation.
The type of flexing can be static or dynamic. Hose in a static
bend is in a non-moving application. The dynamic application
allows for random or intermittent flexing.
Pressure
Ratings
Pressure ratings are shown in
three categories:
Maximum Rated Working
pressure is the maximum pressure the hose should be subjected to
on a continuous basis.
Maximum Rated Test
pressure is the maximum amount of pressure the hose can be
subjected to during testing without possible deformation of the
hose corrugations.
Nominal Rated Burst
pressure is the pressure at which the hose assembly can be
expected to fail.
Safety Factor of 4:1 is
maintained by OmegaFlex on all published pressures.
Published
pressures are shown in psig at 70F. Reduction of pressure ratings
should be used by the proper application of temperature correction
factors. |
