Product Description
The Insulon® High Pressure Insulated Hoses with Multi-layer insulation (MLI) achieve maximum thermal precision and control in fluid transfer applications. Compatible with cryogenic and chiller fluids including liquid nitrogen, hydrogen, glycol, and others. Compatible with high temperature fluids including steam, exhaust, and specialty gases. These hoses utilize a high-density MLI allows for a smaller outer diameter while minimizing radiation heat transfer.

- Pressure tests are conducted at 1.5x MAWP according to NAHAD Corrugated Metal Hose Assembly Specification Guidelines, p. 33 (2005).
- Insulation “touch temperature” performance for 6ft Length Hose:
- Cryogenic Performance: For LN2 (at -196°C) the hose jacket temperature was over 9°C, for temperature difference (∆T) of >205°C (369°F) warmer.
- High Temperature Performance: For hot air (at 900°C (1652°F) the hose jacket temperature maintained under 260°C (482°F), for temperature difference (∆T) of >205°C (369°F) cooler.
- This chart illustrates the difference between the media temperature (hot air) and the outer surface temperature (aka “touch temperature”). When the process media was 900°C (1652°F), the temperature difference was over 640°C (1150°F) at steady state.
- Insulation Reliability with Thermal Cycling:
- >20,000 cycles at 450°C without drop in insulation performance.
- Cycle was defined as a 3-minute ramp up during which the component reaches steady-state, followed by a 2-minute cool-down period. Ambient temperature was 23°C.
