Conti optimises steam transport hoses

ERJ staff report (RD)

Hanover, Germany -- ContiTech has optimised its Dampf Trix 5000 and Dampf Trix 6000 hoses for transporting saturated steam, a recent company statement said.

According to Conti, the hoses stand out for their impressive product characteristics, such as extraordinary flexibility, electrical conductivity and high resistance to temperature, weathering, ozone and UV radiation.

“The hoses have proven themselves to be constantly reliable and safe in demanding, continuous industrial and commercial use. They are DIN EN ISO 6134-certified and state-of-the-art," Willi Emde, head of the ContiTech Industrial Hoses segment, said in the statement.

Conti has developed the Dampf Trix 6000 for the reliable and safe transport of hot steam in the chemical and petrochemical industry, refineries, the construction industry, market gardens and shipbuilding.

“Its high quality EPDM, extremely heat-resistant inner and outer layers allow the hose to transport pure, saturated water steam of up to plus 210 degC at 18 bar, and up to plus 220 degC at 23 bar for short periods of time,” the statement said.

High-strength aramid pressure bearer gives the Dampf Trix 5000 a much higher prolonged temperature resistance than conventional textile materials, Conti said. “With prolonged resistance to temperatures of 120 degC for hot water and plus 164 degC for steam, the hose is ideal for heating up tank cars, as well as for use in the chemical and petrochemical industry, commercial construction and market gardens,” the company added.
