Bottom Loading

Bottom loading composite hoses represent a cutting-edge solution for the safe and efficient transfer of a wide range of liquids, making them a cornerstone in various industrial and commercial applications. The term “bottom loading” refers to the method of filling or unloading tanks or containers from the bottom, which offers several advantages, including reduced spillage, improved safety, and increased efficiency. Bottom loading composite hoses are uniquely designed to facilitate this process, making them a preferred choice in industries where rapid, secure, and environmentally responsible fluid transfer is paramount.

Safety Standards

Rigorous Safety Testing

COMPOHOSE assemblies undergo comprehensive testing, conducted at 1.5 times the rated Working Pressure (W.P). This stringent testing adheres to the EN 13765 standard, ensuring a paramount level of safety and reliability.

Provision of Manufacturer's Test Certificate

With each supply of COMPOHOSE composite hose assemblies, a Manufacturer's Test Certificate is included. This certificate serves as a confirmation of the product's quality and compliance with safety standards, providing added assurance to users.

Clear Burst Pressure Specification

The burst pressure of the composite hose is explicitly indicated for ambient temperature conditions. This vital information enhances safety awareness and empowers users to operate within secure pressure limits.

Effective Electrical Continuity

The composite hose's electrical continuity is assured through the integration of two bonded wires connected to the end fitting. This innovative design promotes the dissipation of accumulated electrical charges, mitigating the risk of static flashes and associated hazards.
