Each assembly can be configured to match existing\n  process equipment, vessel connections and piping interfaces.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Different reinforced silicone and fluoropolymer hose constructions are\n  available for applications involving elevated pressure, temperature,\n  chemical exposure or demanding pharmaceutical processing conditions.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  A pharmaceutical hose assembly combines a flexible process hose with\n  hygienically crimped stainless-steel fittings. The assembly provides a flexible\n  connection between fixed vessels, process systems and pipework while avoiding\n  the need to modify the surrounding installation.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Flexible hose assemblies can also accommodate limited movement and vibration\n  between connected equipment, which cannot be compensated for in the same way\n  by rigid process piping.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Typical configurations use sanitary Tri-Clamp connections, although weld ends\n  and hygienic coupling systems can also be specified. Standard stainless-steel\n  connection materials include \u003cstrong\u003e1.4404 \/ 1.4435\u003c\/strong\u003e, with other\n  materials available according to the process requirement.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Each supplied hose assembly can be pressure tested and provided with\n  batch-related conformity documentation.

Stainless-steel fittings are permanently attached to the hose by\n  a controlled crimping process, creating a defined transition between the\n  flexible hose material and the hygienic process connection.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  During operation, the hose transports process liquid, purified water, steam\n  or another compatible medium while allowing flexibility between fixed\n  connection points. This makes assembled hoses particularly useful where\n  pipework, vessels or equipment cannot be connected conveniently using a\n  completely rigid piping system.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Reinforced hose constructions can be selected for increased mechanical\n  stability under pressure, vacuum or elevated temperature conditions.\n  Fluoropolymer-lined configurations provide an alternative where additional\n  chemical resistance or a different product-contact surface is required.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Several hose constructions can be configured according to the operating\n  conditions and process medium:\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBraided silicone hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBraided and wire-reinforced silicone hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBraided and wire-reinforced silicone hose with PFA inner layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAntistatic braided and wire-reinforced hose with PFA inner layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAntistatic PFA hose for suitable ATEX-area applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Standard hygienic end connections are typically manufactured from\n  \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel 1.4404 \/ 1.4435\u003c\/strong\u003e.
