Kongsberg Automotive has brought the manufacturing of tape-wrapped convoluted hose of PTFE to the state-of-the-art. Advanced manufacturing techniques combined with strict quality control have combined to earn this general purpose product a unique place in a wide spectrum of industries and applications. Chemical plants, food processing and pharmaceutical companies, petrochemical sites, pulp and paper processors and general industrial companies of all types and sizes have relied on the performance of Industrial Fluid Systems convoluted hose for may years.

The unique construction of tape wrapped convoluted hose combines the properties of Teflon® with lighter weight and greater flexibility than any hose of comparable size. As with medium pressure smooth bore, tape wrapped convoluted is manufactured with both conductive and non-conductive innercore depending on the demands of the application. Some applications require a conductive inner liner to dissipate static electrical charges. High resistive fluids or gases at high velocity cause positive electrical charges to build on the inside of the PTFE liner. If not dissipated to the end of the hose, the charge will build until it arcs through the tube wall to the braid, causing catastrophic hose failure. To alleviate this, Kongsberg Automotive manufactures a PTFE innercore with a thin conductive liner on the I.D.

Other braid materials such as polyester, polypropylene, nylon and kynar are available for special applications.

T1568 - non-conductive, PTFE lined, fiberglass reinforced innercore, overbraided with 300 series stainless steel.

T1569 - conductive (carbon impregnated), PTFE lined, fiberglass reinforced innercore, overbraided with 300 series stainless steel.
