The selection of the correct hose is critical to insure optimum field performance. To accomplish this, there are a number of important applications requirements that must be known. The guide below will help you identify the requirements, and design the most cost-effective, engineering-sound product.

The word "STAMPED" is useful as a checklist of applications requirements to be considered.

• Size of existing piping and mating fittings.
• Flow requirements

• Maximum service temperature of the application.
• Maximum allowable service temperature rating for hose and fitting alloys.

• Corrosion resistance of hose and fittings alloys for the media conveyed.
• Maximum service temperature and pressure for the alloy selected.

• Type of motion-angular, axial, offset, readial, random, vibration, amount and frequency.
• Hose type best suited for application and motion, including external durability requirements
• Cycle life requirement.

• Burst, test and operating pressure.
• Constant, pulsating or shock pressures. Operating pressure at elevated temperature.
• Braid selection to maximize pressure/minimize cost.

• Methods of attachment applicable to type and alloy of hose and fittings.
• Maximum temperature for alloys and methods of attachment.

• Minimum hose live length for type of motion.
• Hose assembly length with fittings (overall length).
