Chem Master™ hoses have specially compounded tube constructions designed to handle up to 1200 different acids and bases. Gates has perfected the use of Gatron™ modified cross-linked polyethylene in it's Chem Master™ Plus and XTreme™ offerings. This feature provides superior hose-to-coupling interface strength as well as temperature limits of up to +300°F Some of the recommended applications include: Bulk tank truck; barge; ship; or storage tank transfer. Reference Gates Chemical Resistance Table for proper hose selection and temperature limitations.
RECOMMENDED FOR: Tank truck, barge, ship, or storage tank transfer of a variety of chemical products. Chem Master™ Plus XLPE contains a wire helix for full suction capability, as well as for routing hoses through tight bends. Its Modified Cross–linked Polyethylene tube stock is 'best in class' for maintaining a tight seal with stainless steel fittings, and is designed for cleaning with 'open–end' 50 PSI steam or in a bath containing 10% (NaOH) @ +212°F (+100°C). Cleaning in place (CIP) methods may be used. Applications include over 950 basic chemicals that are building blocks for numerous chemicals used in a variety of industries. Reference Gates Chemical Resistance Table for proper hose selection.
CAUTION: For applications requiring greater than 90% sulfuric acid contact Denver Product Application (303) 744–5070. Chem Master™ Plus XLPE is designed to withstand fluid temperatures to +250°F (+121°C); however the rating is dependent on the specific chemical conveyed. Contact Denver Product Application (303) 744–5070 for any chemical above +125°F (+52°C). Not recommended for 'closed steam' cleaning.
TEMPERATURE: –40°F to +250°F (–40°C to +121°C) normal service.
CONSTRUCTION: Tube: Type K (Gatron™ Modified Cross–linked Polyethylene.) Tan. High chemical resistance. Reinforcement: Synthetic, high tensile textile cord with steel wire helix.
Cover: Type P (EPDM). Green corrugated with orange stripe. Additional color covers available on special order. Design Factor: 4:1
COUPLINGS: Use 7, 8, or 49 for fluid temperatures to +125°F (+52°C). Use permanent fittings only 71 or 73 for fluid temperatures above +125°F (+52°C) and up to +250°F (+121°C) or 80 Gates GSP (2" only). Reference the Hose Coupling Section.
