Proper Hose Selection Explanation of Column Headings 1. Hose I.D. — This is the nominal hose inside diameter in inches (Refer to ARPM Tolerances page). 2. Hose Name — This is the hose identification shown in the catalog. For some special hoses, it may be a number, not a name. 3. Rated Working Pressure (psi) — This is the design working pressure and is based on a certain percentage of the hose burst value. It varies with hose type and intended application. 4. Vacuum (In. Hg) — This is the vacuum rating of the hose when used in vacuum applications at ambient temperatures, and not bent beyond the minimum bend radius. 5. Hose O.D. — The outside diameter (Refer to ARPM Tolerances page). 6. Tube — For reference, the Gates rubber type identification is given and the color used on that particular hose. Refer to Characteristics and Resistance Information for Hose Tube and Cover Compounds page for a description of these stocks. 7. Cover — Same information for tube stock. 8. Hose Weight — This is approximate measurement per current specification. 9. Minimum Bend Radius – This is the smallest radius in inches around which a hose can be bent without over stressing components, without collapsing the hose wall and without substantially reducing fluid flow. 10. Hose Temperature Range – Includes maximum and minimum temperatures of each hose listed. 11. Hose Category — This is a listing of hose types as indicated in the Table of Contents of the Industrial Hose Products #39496-000. Most hoses are not limited to these applications only. How to Select a Hose from the Data Pages Example 1 Given: A customer wants a 3/4” I.D. x 20” hose to handle air or water and general purpose applications. Temperatures are ambient, a pressure rating up to 300 psi is required and it must have textile reinforcement with a high oil resistant tube. Turn to Hose Finder Data Pages for the listing of 3/4” I.D. hoses. In the Rated Working Pressure column, you will find the 300 psi figures. NOTE: Several hoses have a 300 psi rating or higher. But the ones with textile reinforcement and high oil resistance that are multi-purpose are Plant Master TM XTreme TM hoses. All of these hoses could be suitable for the application. Refer to corresponding catalog page number for specific hose details and coupling recommendations. Example 2 Given: 6 ” x 50” dry powder food -grade transfer hose is needed. The hose requirements are: full vacuum, 50 psi and a temperature of 100°F. Turn to Hose Finder Data Pages for the listing of 6” I.D. hoses. In the Rated Working Pressure column, you will find the 50 psi rating or higher. The two hoses with 50 psi and full vacuum ratings and suitable for bulk food transfer are Food Master TM Dry Goods and Food Master TM Oils & Dairy. Refer to corresponding catalog page number for specific hose details and coupling recommendations. .
