AIR BRAKE HOSE - SAE J1402 TYPE 1 & 2 covers the broad spectrum of fluid transfer lines including flow lines for fluids and gases in pneumatic, hydraulic,
or process applications, or specialized uses in heavy industry such as mining, geotechnical, and construction. AIR BRAKE HOSE - SAE J1402 TYPE 1 & 2 is generally
flexible and frequently reinforced; there are many reinforcement materials and geometries. AIR BRAKE HOSE - SAE J1402 TYPE 1 & 2 is usually application-specific;
consultation with hose manufacturers regarding specific applications is typical.
Typical applications or media handled by AIR BRAKE HOSE - SAE J1402 TYPE 1 & 2 include general purpose, agricultural, aviation or aerospace, chemical, construction,
coolant, cryogenic, discharge, exhaust, fire hose, food and beverage processing, fresh air, garden or landscaping, heavy industry, high viscosity, HVAC,
hydraulic, marine, medical or pharmaceutical, oil or fuel, pneumatic, powder or granules, refrigerant, sanitary, slurry, solids, steam, suction or vacuum,
vapor or smoke or fumes, and water.
Important dimensions for the selection of AIR BRAKE HOSE - SAE J1402 TYPE 1 & 2 include the design units, inside diameter, and outside diameter.
Design units can be English such as inches or fractions of an inch, or metric such as millimeters or centimeters.
The inside diameter refers to the inside of the hose or liner. The outside diameter is often a nominal specification for hoses of corrugated or pleated
construction. Important performance specifications to consider when searching for AIR BRAKE HOSE - SAE J1402 TYPE 1 & 2 include working pressure, maximum vacuum,
minimum bend radius and temperature range. The working pressure is the maximum service design pressure. Maximum rated vacuum is most frequently given in inches or
mm of mercury referenced below one standard atmosphere. Minimum bend radius is based on a combination of acceptable hose cross-section deformation and mechanical
bending limit of any reinforcement. The temperature range is the full required range of ambient operating temperature.
Construction options for
AIR BRAKE HOSE - SAE J1402 TYPE 1 & 2 include reinforced, coiled, corrugated or convoluted, articulated, and multi-element. Reinforced hose is constructed
with some element of reinforcement; styles include textile braid, wire braid, wire helix, and many other designs in many ply or layer configurations.
Coiled AIR BRAKE HOSE - SAE J1402 TYPE 1 & 2 is coiled for flexibility and elasticity; this feature often makes it expandable and easy to store.
Corrugated hose contains corrugations, pleats, or spiral convolutions to increase flexibility and capacity for compression and elongation.
Articulated AIR BRAKE HOSE - SAE J1402 TYPE 1 & 2 is rigid hose sections that are constructed with "joints" that can be swiveled, positioned, or articulated;
often used in cases where hose discharge must be aimed, such as coolant delivery to a workpiece. A multi-element hose is constructed of more than one hose
formed or adhered together in a flat, ribbon, or bundled configuration. Additional features to consider include integral end connections, anti-static, lay flat,
crush proof, flame resistant, and explosion-proof.
