General Guidelines for Making Application Decisions for Sanitary Hose Assemblies
While each sanitary hose application is unique, we have been able to identify 5 different criteria that seem to be a common thread to be considered when making a decision on the correct sanitary hose for any specific process application.
- Process Fluid: Are there chemical compatibility issues with the process and/or cleaning fluid?
- Temperature: What is the process and the cleaning temperature?
- Sterilization: Will the sanitary hose be steamed or autoclaved?
- Flexibility: How flexible does the sanitary hose need to be? Will the hose be static or will it be a dynamic application where the hose is constantly flexing?
- Certification/Validation Criteria: What level of certification is needed? All the sanitary hose assemblies we sell meet FDA guidelines, many are USP Class VI certified and some come with extensive amounts of validation data.
Once the different parameters have been established, the table below can be used as a general guide to assist in the product selection for a sanitary hose application.
