Is PROVIDENCEÂ® suction and discharge hose for aggressive chemicals safe for use above 50Â°C and what approvals are required?

PROVIDENCEÂ® suction and discharge hose for aggressive chemicals is specified for an operating temperature range of -25Â°C to +100Â°C. However, the product description states that confirmation of chemical resistance and specific application conditions.especially for temperatures above 50Â°C.requires direct contact with Tubes International. Therefore: - Is it safe for use above 50Â°C? Potentially yes, because the inner FKM (FPM, Viton) compound and construction allow elevated-temperature service up to +100Â°C, but safe use above 50Â°C must be confirmed case-by-case based on the specific chemical, concentration, pressure, and duration. - What approvals are required? The hose is compliant with EN 12115:11 (type M). Additional required approvals, certifications, or written chemical-resistance confirmation should be obtained from Tubes International for the intended chemical and temperature conditions (especially >50Â°C).

Can PROVIDENCEÂ® suction and discharge hose for aggressive chemicals be used with aromatic fuels at temperatures above 100Â°C?

No - PROVIDENCEÂ® suction and discharge hose for aggressive chemicals is rated for an operating temperature up to +100Â°C. Use with aromatic fuels above 100Â°C is not covered by the stated temperature range; Tubes International must be contacted to confirm resistance and safe application for temperatures above 50Â°C or any use beyond the specified limits.

Does PROVIDENCEÂ® suction and discharge hose for aggressive chemicals require special grounding during transfer of solvents and aromatic fuels?

Yes. PROVIDENCEÂ® suction and discharge hose for aggressive chemicals includes two built-in copper wires and an antistatic outer layer to discharge electrostatic charges during transfer of solvents and aromatic fuels. This design provides intrinsic antistatic protection compliant with EN 12115:11 (type M). However, for high-risk operations (very low-conductivity liquids, high flow rates, long hose runs, or temperatures above 50Â°C) and to meet site-specific grounding/earthing protocols, you should verify application conditions and required grounding procedures with Tubes International before use.

Additional information

Material	FPM (FKM) – fluor rubber (viton)
Maximum operating temperature [°C]	100
Minimum operating temperature [°C]	-25
Vacuum resistance	yes
Standard length [m]	60/ 120
Reinforcement	steel spiral, synthetic cover

Suction and discharge hose for the transfer of almost all aggressive chemical substances. Specifically designed for the petrochemical industry for fuels with high concentrations of aromatic hydrocarbons, hot oil, and solvents. Due to the high overall chemical resistance of FKM rubber, it can be used for aggressive chemicals, in many cases also at elevated temperatures. Used for the transshipment of chemicals from road and rail tankers. Inner layer made of smooth black FKM fluorine rubber. Reinforcement with synthetic cord and steel spiral. Outer layer made of CR chloroprene rubber, antistatic, resistant to weather conditions, ozone, abrasion, and oils. Two built-in copper wires for discharging electrostatic charges. Compliant with EN 12115:11 (type M). Confirmation of resistance and application conditions requires contact with Tubes International, especially for temperatures above 50°C. Vacuum: 0.9 bar. Inner layer: black FKM rubber (FPM, viton). Reinforcement: synthetic cord, steel spiral. Outer layer: black CR rubber. Working pressure: 16 bar. Operating temperature: from -25°C to +100°C.
