Composite Hose

Accord's composite hose assemblies are designed and manufactured to function as chemical hose, acid hose, petroleum hose, vapor hose, etc.. Composite hose offers excellent flexibility, which makes handling easier. The carcass of a composite hose consists of multiple layers of polypropylene fabrics, films and polyester barrier layers which provide a structure resistant to chemical attack while maintaining strength, durability and flexibility. The outer cover of composite hose is abrasion resistant PVC-impregnated fabric which protects against corrosion, attack from other liquids, UV rays and ozone. Composite hose has a working temperature range of -20°C (-4°F) to +80°C (176°F), refer to Chemical Compatibility Chart. Standard lengths vary with size and can be cut and coupled with externally swaged to: NPT threaded; cam & groove couplings, fixed, floating or reducing flanges and/or to each client's individual requirements. Accord composite hose assemblies use a conductive swaging seal to guarantee the hose is electrically continuous through both the inner and outer wire helices with typical ratings of less than 10 ohms.

Accord's chemical hose, acid hose, petroluem hose, vapor hose assemblies meet and/or exceed the following standards: The British Standard BS5842 : 1980, The United States Coast Guard Regulations 33CFR Section 154.500, The International Maritime Organization's IMO Codes and Regulations. Accord hose assemblies are checked for quality control consistencies prior to shipment. All Accord hose can be hydrotested and certified prior to shipment.
