Microbore Hose for Pressure Gauges is a specialised hose designed for use in high-pressure gauge systems. These hoses provide a reliable and accurate connection between the pressure gauge and the hydraulic system or other pressurised systems.
Key Features
- Small Bore Size: The hose features a very narrow internal diameter, typically around 2mm, minimising the volume of fluid within the hose and ensuring fast.
- High-Pressure Rating: Designed to handle pressures up to 4000 bar, making it suitable for high-pressure applications such as hydraulic testing.
- Flexible and Lightweight: The microbore design ensures the hose is lightweight and flexible, allowing for easy routing in confined spaces without compromising performance.
- Reinforced Construction: Often reinforced with high-tensile synthetic fibres or wire braids to provide strength and durability while maintaining flexibility.
- Thermoplastic or PTFE Lining: The inner core is typically made from materials like thermoplastic or PTFE , which offer excellent chemical resistance and stability in extreme temperatures.
- Compatibility with Hydraulic Fluids: Compatible with a wide range of fluids, including mineral oils, synthetic oils, and water-based fluids.
- Minimal Pressure Loss: The small bore size ensures minimal pressure drop over the length of the hose, maintaining the accuracy of pressure readings.
- Corrosion-Resistant Outer Cover: Often features a corrosion-resistant outer jacket, which protects against environmental factors like UV radiation, chemicals, and moisture.
- Custom Lengths and Fittings: Available in a variety of lengths and with different fitting options to suit specific pressure gauge and system requirements.
Benefits
- Accurate Pressure Readings: The microbore hose’s small diameter and minimal fluid volume ensure that pressure is transmitted accurately.
- High-Pressure Capability: The hose is designed to withstand extreme pressures, making it suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems.
- Enhanced Durability: Reinforced construction and high-quality materials extend the lifespan of the hose, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Flexibility in Tight Spaces: The compact, flexible design makes it easy to install in confined spaces, while still maintaining performance under high pressure.
- Reduced Risk of Leakage: The precision construction and high-quality materials used in microbore hoses help to minimise the risk of leaks.
- Versatility Across Applications: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including hydraulic testing, pressure monitoring, gas and oil systems.
- Chemical and Temperature Resistance: The use of thermoplastic or PTFE linings ensures that the hose is resistant to a wide variety of chemicals and can perform in both high and low-temperature environments.
- Ease of Handling and Installation: Lightweight and flexible, the microbore hose is easy to handle, route, and install.
