Stainless Steel Flexibles Series ST

FEATURES

Body: Stainless steel single braided corrugated hose with SCH40 carbon steel male nipples welded at each end.

Sizes: From 1/2" to 2" (15mm to 50mm)Lengths: From 10" to 14" (250mm to 350mm)

other lenghts also available.Braided Hose: Gives a high temperature leak proof, with appropriate

fittings attached you have a connector which allowstemperature up to 850oF (457oC) and pressure up to850 PSI (5860 kPa) at 70oF (21oC).

Temperature: As working temperature increases, the pressure ratingsof corrugated hose decreases (See chart below)

Allowable Motion: Flexible pump connectors will absorb vibration,release stress from mating equipment and allow the correction of some misalignment

FEATURES

Body: Stainless steel single braided corrugated hose with ASA #150carbon steel plate flanges welded at each end.

Sizes: From 2" to 14" (50mm to 350mm)Lengths: From 10" to 20" (250mm to 500 mm)

other lenghts also available.Braided Hose: Gives a high temperature leak proof, with appropriate

Temperature: As working temperature increases, the pressure ratingsof corrugated hose decreases (See chart on page 2)

Allowable Motion: Flexible pump connectors will absorb vibration,release stress from mating equipment and allow the correction of some misalignment

note: Install all pump connectors in a straight line without offset. Piping must beanchored or hung so that the weight of the piping does not rest on thepump connector

EPDM Union Arch Flexibles Series DUT

Dimensions are subject to change without prior notice

FEATURES

Body: Spherical shape, stronger than the standard cylindricalshape.The spherical designed "long-arch" reduces turbulenceand sediment build-up. #150 MI Union fittings at both ends.

Ratings: Up to 214 PSI (1475 kPa) and up to 240oF (115oC) See Chart 2

Sizes: From 1/2" to 2" (15mm to 50mm)Allowable Motion: Sperical bellows can absorb many times the

movements of standard products. Compression,extension, deflection and angular movements areeasily handled. High pressure molding of EPDMresults in lighter weight and thinner wall sectionsthat requires less force to deflect than otherproducts. Reducing and preventing stresses andstrains on flanges or piping. Series DUT allowsangular motion to 45o angle.

Corrosion Resistance: EPDM offers excellent chemical resistance. Under normal conditions, extensive servicelife can be expected from EPDM material.

Vibration, Noise & Shock: Reduces noise, sound looses energytravelling axially through the EPDM bellows. Reduces vibrations, insulates the equipment to allow free movementon its vibration mountings.

Ratings: Up to 214 PSI (1475 kPa) and up to 240oF (115oC) See Chart 2

Sizes: From 11/2" to 20" (40mm to 500mm)Allowable Motion: Sperical bellows can absorb many times the

movements of standard products. Compression,extension, deflection and angular movements areeasily handled. High pressure molding of EPDMresults in lighter weight and thinner wall sectionsthat requires less force to deflect than otherproducts. Reducing and preventing stresses andstrains on flanges or piping. Series SSP allowsstandard motion.

Corrosion Resistance: EPDM offers excellent chemical resistance. Under normal conditions, extensive servicelife can be expected from EPDM

Vibration, Noise & Shock: Reduces noise, sound looses energytravelling axially through the EPDM bellows. Reduces vibrations, insulates the equipment to allow free movementon its vibration mountings.

Easy Installation: The floating, metallic flangesrotate readily on the bellow compensating formating flange rotational misalignment. Extraretaining rings or gasket are not required. The rigid metallic flange prevent seepage-sweeping. All flanges are drilled to #150 ASA standard drillingpattern (other drilling patterns available on demand.) See chart 1 for flange/bolting dimensions. All face toface dimensions are shown from gasket to gasket (thegasket is an intregral part of the joint.)

Typical Specifications for Stainless Steel Flexibles

Supply and install as shown on plans FLO FAB EPDM flexible connectors.Each unit shall be molded on EPDM, the sphere combines the strength of the spherical shape, the flexibility of rubber and the durability of alignable steel flanges. It also offers maximum deflection, elongation and compression.The spherical designed "long-arch" reduces turbulence and noises. The floating flanges are standard #150 ASA drilled to mate.Each unit shall be capable of working pressures up to 214 PSI (1475 Kpa) and temperatures up to 240oF (115oC).
