Description
The Aircraft Refuelling Hose is specifically designed for the safe and efficient transfer of aviation fuels, including Jet A, Jet A-1, AVGAS, and other petroleum-based products used in aircraft refueling operations. Engineered to meet stringent safety and performance standards, this hose is ideal for use at airports, military bases, and in various aviation applications.
1. Construction
- Inner Tube: The inner tube is made from high-quality nitrile rubber (NBR) or fluoroelastomer, which provides excellent resistance to aviation fuels and ensures minimal permeation. The smooth inner surface promotes efficient flow and reduces turbulence during fuel transfer.
- Reinforcement: The hose is reinforced with high-tensile synthetic textile plies and/or a steel wire helix, providing strength, flexibility, and resistance to crushing. This reinforcement allows the hose to withstand high pressure and maintain its shape during use.
- Outer Cover: The outer cover is made from abrasion-resistant synthetic rubber or PVC, designed to resist weathering, UV exposure, and chemicals. It ensures durability in harsh outdoor conditions and provides additional protection against physical damage.
2. Standard Sizes
- Inner Diameter: Available in sizes typically ranging from 1 inch (25mm) to 4 inches (100mm), accommodating various flow rates and refueling requirements.
- Length: Standard lengths usually range from 10 to 50 meters, with custom lengths available to meet specific operational needs.
3. Working Pressure
- The hose is rated for medium to high pressure, with working pressure ratings typically ranging from 10 to 25 bars (145 to 362 psi), depending on the hose diameter and construction.
4. Temperature Range
- This hose operates effectively within a temperature range of -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F), making it suitable for a variety of climates and weather conditions.
5. Performance Characteristics
- Fuel Compatibility: Designed specifically for aviation fuels, ensuring safe and efficient fuel transfer without degradation.
- Durability and Flexibility: The reinforced construction allows for flexibility, ensuring easy handling and installation while maintaining strength under pressure.
- Abrasion and Weather Resistance: The outer cover resists damage from weather and chemicals, ensuring long-term performance in outdoor refueling operations.
- Kink and Crush Resistance: The steel wire helix provides support against kinking and crushing during handling, maintaining the hose’s integrity during use.
6. Applications
- Ideal for aircraft refueling operations at airports, military bases, and fueling stations.
- Commonly used in ground support equipment for refueling helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft.
- Suitable for use in mobile refueling operations, including fueling vehicles and equipment in remote locations.
7. End Fittings
- The hose can be equipped with a variety of fittings, such as camlock couplings, threaded fittings, or quick-connect couplings, ensuring secure and leak-free connections to pumps, storage tanks, or aircraft refueling systems.
