Selecting the Proper Hose Assembly
In order to obtain the best service from any particular hose
application, two important conditions must be fulfilled.
1)
Select the right hose for the job.
2)
Make sure that it is fitted correctly and used in the
proper manner.
Carefully consider the application requirements. A helpful guide is the S.T.A.M.P.E.D.
process. S.T.A.M.P.E.D. is an acronym and stands for the seven major information areas
required to provide a quality hose assembly
To assist in obtaining and conveying information regarding the application, a copy of the
S.T.A.M.P.E.D. application form is included in this catalog. This inquiry sheet can be sent
to any Continental ContiTech authorized distributor for a hose recommendation.
Please Note:
A hose should always be selected based on its
rated working pressure
.
Do not use
minimum burst pressure
as a guideline in selecting the hose. Minimum burst pressure
decreases over the use and life of the hose. A hose should be selected based
on its rated working pressure to provide a normal service life. In addition, always select
a hose by giving consideration to its recommended temperature limits. Hose service life
is reduced if the temperatures of the fluids being conveyed or ambient temperatures
exceed the recommended limits.
