STS Cargo Operations ANSI 150 Yokohama STS Hoses 15Bar OCIMF 2009

Description

Yokohama STS (Super Tough Cover) hoses are high-pressure hydraulic hoses that are designed for use in heavy-duty applications. They have a super tough cover that is resistant to abrasion, oil, weather, and ozone. These hoses are made with multiple layers of reinforcement to ensure maximum strength and durability.

Yokohama STS hoses are available in various sizes and pressure ratings to suit different applications. They are commonly used in industries such as construction, mining, oil and gas, and marine. These hoses are known for their reliability, performance, and long service life.

Specifications

Features

1. Construction: The construction of a hose can determine its strength, durability, and resistance to different environmental factors.

2. Material: The type of material used in a hose can influence its chemical resistance, temperature range, flexibility, and other properties.

3. Size: The size of a hose refers to its diameter, length, and thickness. The size of a hose affects its flow rate and pressure rating.

4. Pressure rating: The maximum amount of pressure a hose can withstand without bursting or leaking is its pressure rating. The pressure rating is usually measured in pounds per square inch (PSI).

5. Temperature range: The temperature range of a hose specifies the minimum and maximum temperatures it can handle. The temperature range is important for hoses that are used in extreme conditions.

6. Ends and fittings: The ends and fittings of a hose connect it to a device, tool, or other equipment. They can be made of different materials, sizes, and types, depending on the specific application.

7. Bend radius: The bend radius is the minimum radius at which a hose can be bent without causing damage to it. It is an important consideration when selecting hoses for tight or curved spaces.

8. Electrical conductivity: Hoses used in explosive or hazardous environments may require electrical conductivity to prevent static charge buildup and reduce the risk of explosions.

Applications

1. Hydraulic systems: Hoses are used to transport hydraulic fluids in machinery, equipment, and vehicles. They are often used in construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial machinery.

2. Water and irrigation systems: Hoses are used to transport water for irrigation and landscaping. They can also be used to transport water and other fluids in households and commercial buildings.

3. Pneumatic systems: Hoses are used to transport compressed air in pneumatic systems. They are often used in manufacturing plants, automotive facilities, and other industrial settings.

4. Chemical industries: Hoses are used to transport chemicals in manufacturing and processing applications. They can be made of specialized materials to withstand the corrosive effects of certain chemicals.

5. Food and beverage industries: Hoses can be used to transport food and beverages in processing plants, bottling plants, and other facilities.

6. Automotive industries: Hoses are used in automotive industry for fuel, engine coolant, and brake fluids.

7. Medical industries: Hoses are used in medical devices such as oxygen masks, ventilators, and IV tubes.

Advantages

1. Flexibility: Hoses are flexible and can be coiled, bent, or stretched to fit in tight spaces and reach difficult areas.

2. Lightweight: Hoses are lighter in weight compared to other types of rigid piping, making them easier to handle and transport.

3. Resistance: Hoses can be made of materials that are resistant to various environmental factors, such as chemicals, extreme temperatures, UV radiation, and abrasion.

4. Easy installation: Hoses can be quickly connected and disconnected, allowing for easy installation or replacement when necessary.

5. Cost-effective: Hoses are often more cost-effective than other types of rigid piping, such as metal and plastic pipes, as they require less labor and tools for installation.

6. Versatility: Hoses can be used in a wide range of applications, from transporting water and chemicals to hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

7. Maintenance: Hoses are generally easy to maintain and can be cleaned and inspected easily to ensure proper functioning.
