Oroflex Aqua

Extruded TPU potable water lay flat discharge hose

  • Specially designed for drinking water transfer in long lines & emergency delivery operations

  • Premium & flexible leak free hose for extreme UV and ozone conditions

  • Total corrosion resistance and minimum snaking when submitted to high pressures

  • Fully approved for potable water - NSF/ANSI/CAN. Standard 61 certified - BS 6920:2014 compliant

Applications:

Designed and recommended as a drinking water transfer hose in long lines and emergency delivery operations, liquid and powder food transfer, ship/boat drinking water supply, sewer and water treatment, pipeline bypass and waste transfer.

Construction:

Made from circularly woven 100% high tenacity synthetic yarn, completely protected and locked-in by a tough, highly resistant thermoplastic polyurethane extruded through the weave, forming a single homogenous construction without the use of glues or adhesives. Its construction does not permit corrosion or scaling, while giving a high resistance against abrasion and cutting. Easy handling, storage & transport, which allows for fast installation and retrieval. 2% maximum hose elongation and 10% maximum hose expansion.

Lining Properties:

  • Ultimate Tensile Strength of the lining: Minimum guaranteed value of 5,800 psi (40 MPa).
  • Ultimate Elongation: 500% minimum.

Abrasion Resistance:

The OROFLEX AQUA hose will extend the lifetime of your application when under extreme conditions, where abrasion is the main concern. Under practical conditions, thermoplastic polyurethane is considered to be the most abrasion resistant elastomeric material.

Service Temperature Range:

From -58℉ (-50℃) to 150℉ (65℃), with peaks of up to 175℉ (80℃). Special versions for higher and lower temperatures available upon request.

Ozone Resistance:

No visible signs of cracking will appear due to the ozone. Excellent weather and UV resistance.

Chemical Resistance:

Exposure to seawater and contamination by most chemical substances, hydrocarbons, oils and greases has no effect on the short or long term performance of the hose. A chemical resistance chart is available and TIPSA will supply specific chemical resistance data when requested by the purchaser for unique applications.

Couplings:

As requested by the customer; Bauer, Victaulic, Storz, etc.

Recommended Operating PH Range:

4 to 9 below 86ºF (30ºC) and 5 to 9 from 86ºF to 122ºF (from 30ºC to 50ºC).
