Hyperline FX

PTFE-lined Hose

PTFE Hyperline

Hyperline FX

PTFE-lined hose for automotive and general purpose applications

Hyperline FX hose is much more flexible than smoothbore hose, due to the patented design of the PTFE liner, and therefore represents a better alternative in applications where improved flexibility is required. Particularly applicable for the tight configurations increasingly necessary in automotive hose and aerospace hose applications, where space requirements are limited.

Features and Benefits

  • Patented liner provides unequalled flexibility and kink resistance
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Smooth bore for fast flow and easy clean
  • Resistant to diffusion of liquids and gases
  • Smooth bore yet highly flexible hose – a unique combination
  • Self-cleaning – product does not adhere to the tube wall
  • Low flow-resistance – flow rates are more than twice those of conventional convoluted hose
  • Durable – tough outer braid protects against abrasion and damage
  • Heat resistant – usable up to 260°C, dependent on application/specification
  • Vacuum resistant – usable with full vacuum (max 130°C)
  • Sizes – 1/4″ up to 1″ nb.

Temperatures and Pressures

  • Hyperline FX, SS grades – The MWP listed above
    should be reduced by 1% for each 1 °C above
    160 °C (1% for each 1.8 °F above 320 °F)
    up to a maximum of 260 °C (500 °F).
  • Hyperline FX, AM Grades – The MWP listed above
    should be reduced by 1% for each 1 °C above
    130 °C (1% for each 1.8 °F above 266 °F)
    up to a maximum of 180 °C (356 °F).
  • MWP listed are calculated on the basis of a 3:1
    safety factor relative to the burst pressure, so burst
    pressure = 3 x MWP. If MWP is required based on
    a 4:1 safety factor (e.g. EN 16643 requirement),
    multiply the listed value by 0.75.

Vacuum Resistance

Hyperline FX, SS grades are usable at vacuum up
to -0.9bar up to 150 °C (300 °F).

Excellent Flow Rates

Compared with conventional convoluted hose
designs, Hyperline FX has excellent flow rates due
to the smooth bore, which prevents the turbulent
fluid flow which occurs in convoluted hose
products.

Reduced Diffusion Rates

Hyperline FX is much more resistant to diffusion of
liquids or gases than other PTFE hose products,
due to its highly compressed, non-porous PTFE
matrix. Hyperline FX has been successfully tested
to SAE J1737 for resistance to automotive fuel
diffusion.

Non-stick Internal Surface

Hyperline FX hose has a smooth bore, non-stick
liner which is effectively self-cleaning, and which
resists material build-up inside the hose which may
cause bore constriction.

LINERS

Natural

This liner can be used when there is no risk of electrostatic charge

Anti-Static

This liner is essential in applications where there is a risk of electrostatic charge

HPG

This liner is ideal for high pressure gas applications or testing procedures are above 100 bar

AS Liner

This liner consists of an anti-static internal layer of the PTFE with a natural outer layer, which provides the required static discharge properties.

BRAIDS

Stainless Steel

High pressure, high temperature applications

Aramid

Lightweight, high pressure applications

PPS

Ultra lightweight for low pressure applications

Combination Braids

Combination of different braid materials to provide completely bespoke solutions.
