Style TSVO is an open pitch convoluted PTFE hose found in a wide variety of sanitary, high-temperature, and high-tech applications. This hose has an internal profile that supports high flow rates and the helical design aids in self draining.
The fluoropolymer core is inert and offers long flexural life, low permeability and the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid material. The core is seamless, heavy-wall extruded white or black-conductive PTFE tubing and is contained by a stainless steel braid. Polypropylene braid cover and polypropylene flanges are also available.
The tube is formed from a solid homogeneous PTFE extrusion. The internal convolutions are shaped to ensure pure flow, and is 100% cleanable. The PTFE is thicker than most conventional hose and provides superior vacuum ratings and "hoop" strength. Series TSVO is easy to flex yet won't flatten when bent, and is extremely crush resistant. A primary advantage of a thick tube design is its ability to be extended through the fittings and flared over to form a sealing face, eliminating any joint between fitting and hose. Flow is uninterrupted and the assembly is completely free of areas where corrosion or bacteria can build up. Meets FDA and USDA requirements.
