The following chart is essentially based upon the most updated technical data available, on information from raw material suppliers, as well as some International Standards, e.g. ISO TR 7620, EN 12115, and other publications. Due to the big variety and amount of different chemical products, the given ratings are only partly based on our own tests. Consequently, the chart is given as a guidance only, and it cannot be assumed as a guarantee, expressed or implied, for the suitability of a product for a specific application. This is due to the widespread range of parameters which are not under our direct control like temperature (internal and external) pressure (constant or peaks) frequency of service and working environment. For the same reasons, it is impossible to give scientifically based indications concerning service life of hoses, and to determinate a generally valid replacement date. This can be verified for instance with periodical hydrostatic tests and a visual check. When in doubt please contact our technical service. Ratings are based on room temperature. ITR will cooperate by supplying sampling for tests, and carrying out tests with special chemical products. WARNING The service life of rubber hoses is not endless. Consequently the user must periodically check the suitability of a rubber hose for the intended application, particularly in the presence of dangerous or polluting chemical products or when using the hose at elevated pressures and/or temperatures. The continuous use at the highest allowed pressures and temperatures dramatically reduces the service life of a rubber hose. After use hose must be emptied out and washed down. Many chemical products can cause severe injuries to people or damage to property, or risks of environment pollution in case of leakage or burst of the hose. All the necessary measures must be taken in order to avoid accidents both during normal service operations and during the hydrostatic tests, which must be carried out by trained personnel using suitable tools. The existing legal rules must be observed. Not all chemical products can be handled at the highest pressures and temperatures allowed for the rubber hose. When in doubt please contact our technical service. 87
