Introduction
Properly selecting a hose for your fluid

system is critical.
A properly selected and maintained hose keeps
your process performing safely and cost effectively.
Improper selection or maintenance could undermine
your process, put personnel at risk, and compromise
your bottom line – sometimes without you being aware
of it.
This hose pocket guide is designed to help make your

hose selection experience as seamless as possible.
Throughout this hose guide, you will find a variety
of information and tools including an overview of
Swagelok® hoses, hose specifications, handling and
installation, applications, and more.
For more information or assistance selecting the

right hose for your fluid system, please contact your
authorized Swagelok sales and service center or visit
our website at www.swagelok.com.

A Closer Look: Why Choose Hose
Consider the design advantage, safety benefits of

having fewer connections, and cost reduction gained
from using flexible hose.
Rigid materials, such as piping and tubing, must

be installed straight, perpendicular, or at angles cut
perfectly to the exact lengths required. Compound
directions require exact lengths and numerous
connections. Because hose lends itself to convenient
bending and routing, systems designers can eliminate
many of the connectors required when using rigid
materials.
What benefits come from having fewer

connections?
■ Lower cost of materials and labor
■ Reduced risk of leakage
■ Less chance of pressure drop
■ Less chance for media entrapment
Additionally, unlike rigid materials, hose will

compensate for slight dimensional mismatches
between connection points. Hose can also be easily
removed or replaced for periodic cleaning, and
coiled hoses can fit inside sterilization equipment. In
comparison, rigid materials of any significant length are
often too long for the cleaning equipment tank.

Considerations For Selecting a Hose
Assembly Solution
The four main components of a hose are:

1. Core tube material and construction, page 8
2. Reinforcement layers, page 11
3. Covers, page 12
4. End connections, page 12
1. Core Tube Material and Construction
The core tube is the hose’s innermost layer, the one

that comes into contact with and carries the system
media. The core is often referred to as the wetted
surface. To determine the materials of construction
best suited to your application demands, consider the
following:
■ Which core tube materials are chemically

compatible with the system media?
■ Will the core corrode or deteriorate over time?
■ Can the core tolerate the temperature range of the
system media?
■ Will the material prevent or limit permeation and
absorption? All materials, even metals, are subject
to permeation and absorption, so this question
is one of degree. Depending on your application,
permeation and/or absorption may not be a
significant concern.
■ Will the core material stand up to the cleaning
practices for your system in terms of temperature,
pressure, and material compatibility with any
solvents and cleaning agents employed?
■ Will your application produce a static charge? (See
Page 24 for information on Static Dissipation.)

Typical Temperature
Core Type Features Range ˚F (˚C)
• Can withstand repetitive steam cleaning
• Commonly used in demanding applications where the core must be non-absorptive
• Fluoropolymer hose that complies with one or more of these is available: FDA regulation 21CFR
Part 177.1550, USP <88> Class VI , USP <88> Class VI (121°C), USP <87, 88> Class VI (121°C), or
3-A for contact with water, food, and beverage
• Replacing silicone in many sanitary applications
• Gas permeable; if your application cannot tolerate permeation, consider a less permeable core
material, such as metal
• The most chemically inert cores available
• Non-aging, nonstick, and easy to clean
Fluoropolymer • Available in smooth bore or convoluted core: -65 to 450
cores • Smooth-bore core (figure 1) is built with a smooth inner tube wall and is a good choice when (-53 to 232)
precise flow control and drain-ability are priorities. The primary disadvantage is kinking,
particularly in larger diameters. Reinforcement layers can help solve kinking.
• Convoluted core (figure 2) is folded in a pattern to increase the hose’s flexibility. The pattern
usually helical, in fluoropolymer cores, or annular, in metal cores. This construction is chosen
when flexibility is the priority.
Figure 1 Figure 2
2. Reinforcement Layers
Hose reinforcement layers strengthen and support

the hose core tube and can be made from a range of
materials.
Proper reinforcement layers can improve hose

performance in several areas including pressure
containment, hoop strength and kink resistance,
electrical continuity, torsion strength, volumetric
expansion control, flexibility, or force to bend.
All hoses have a minimum bend radius, which measures

how far a hose can bend before the core loses its round
shape. Measurements for minimum bend radius are
typically included in industrial hose literature.
Consider the force required to bend an unpressurized

hose:
■ Is the hose so stiff that an operator cannot bend it or
has difficulty installing it?
■ Will it slow down or break a machine in a dynamic
operation?

3. Covers
The cover is an outer layer that protects underlying

layers, personnel, and surrounding equipment. In most
applications, the goal in cover selection is to achieve
the smallest diameter with minimal decrease in the
flexibility of the hose while providing ample protection
of the hose.
Typical cover options include:

■ Armor Guard
■ Fire Jackets
■ Silicone
■ Spiral Guard
■ Spring Guard
■ Stainless Steel Braid
■ Thermosleeves
4. End Connections
The performance of a hose assembly depends

largely on a hose manufacturer’s ability to attach end
connections. End connections differ widely in materials
and pressure ratings and are where most leaks may
occur. Partner with a trusted hose manufacturer
that incorporates tried and tested methodology to
permanently attach hose end connections, whether
welded, crimped, or swaged.
See pages 106 to 136 for types of end connections
available.
12
In Summary
Start with the main parts of a hose – core tube material
and construction, reinforcement layers, covers, and
end connections. You will find many options in each
of these areas. Variables in applications include the
pressure, temperature, flow, application, cleanliness,
compatibility, and the external environment. These will
direct your decision making.
Cautions
 Nylon, PFA, polyethylene, PTFE, and rubber are
permeable materials. Gases, vapors, and liquids
may migrate through cores of these materials.
The rate of permeation is affected by many
application-specific variables.
 Non-perforated covers may blister in gas
service.
 Thermal cycling of any nonmetal hose may
affect its ability to maintain a positive seal.
Testing should be performed to verify suitability
in actual operating conditions.
 All equipment must be properly grounded to
allow static dissipation and help to prevent
static sparking.
 Non-conductive hoses can be conduits for
electricity if they contain conductive fluids.
Verify the conductive properties of the system
media prior to use.

How Swagelok can help with your hose
applications.
You want a local resource with global capabilities.

How fast do you need it? Your authorized Swagelok
sales and service center stocks a range of high-
quality hose and tubing products that can be built and
customized for all your fluid system needs.
Your hose is built to specification, this time and

every time.
Everything we do is rooted in “One Swagelok,” and all
of our global hose assembly locations are no different.
Every Swagelok hose in every location is assembled
using standardized equipment, the same tight
tolerances, and the same high-quality standards and
standard work practices.
You get innovations in end connections from the

company that does them well.
For many PTFE and PFA core assemblies, Swagelok
uses a proprietary crimp design technology to
permanently attach end connections to hose. The new
crimping technology works so well that nylon core
assemblies have also been validated using the crimp
process.
Our 360-degree radial crimping machine(s) are

computer controlled to ensure repeatable dimensions.
Multiple dies compress the crimp collar to proprietary
crimp specifications. These specifications factor in the
manufacturing tolerances of the three components
(hose, crimp collar, and end connections) to ensure
complete and consistent assembly.
Swagelok provides all-metal hose assemblies as well.

We weld end connections on bulk all-metal hose that
is manufactured to Swagelok’s specifications. All end
connections are welded in accordance with ASME
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section IX. Whether
welded manually or with Swagelok's proprietary weld
technology, each assembly is as consistent as the last.
14
Our push-on PB series hose can be assembled in the
field, without the use of hose clamps due to the unique
design of the hose barb and reinforcement within
Swagelok PB series hose.
You can use identification to your advantage.

Customize your hoses with tags and text. Personnel
can see the hose function at a glance, which helps
safety and plant efficiency. Swagelok offers a variety of
tag options.
We give your hose traceability.

Swagelok offers fully traceable products, and
this feature is standard on many Swagelok hose
assemblies.
We can lower your cost of ownership.

Make decisions based on the true cost of a hose,
which is the purchase price plus the cost of owning
and maintaining or replacing the assembly over
time. All hoses wear out. Determine how often hose
replacement will be necessary. Calculate the cost of
replacement parts, labor, and downtime.

Non-Industry Specific Factors
Static Dissipation and Conductivity
Static dissipation is defined as the ability of a material
to conduct an electrical charge to ground. Select
Swagelok hoses constructed with nylon, PTFE, or PFA
core material are available with an optional carbon
black-filling for applications requiring static dissipation.
A static dissipative hose is designed to alleviate any

static charge that may be built up as different fluids
flow through the hose. Examples of media that have
the potential to generate static charge are steam,
dielectric media, high-velocity gases and hydraulic
oil. Equipment must be properly grounded for static
dissipative hoses to function as intended.
Conductivity is defined as the ability of a material to

transmit or conduct an electrical charge. Typically
these are all-metal hoses.
Hoses that are considered to have the potential to be

conductive are identified in the pocket guide with
an (Μ). Hoses that are considered to be static
dissipative are identified in the pocket guide with
an (Ω).
24
Based on the construction of the hose and the
connection method of the end connections, conductive
hose can be broken down into four categories:
1. All-metal hoses (FM, FJ, FL, Convoluted

Tube) – Due to their all-metal construction and
with the ends welded on, all-metal hose should be
considered conductive.
2. Fluoropolymer (PTFE) swaged hoses (T) – With the

metal braid and an end connection swaged on,
there is intimate contact between the metal braid,
collar, and end connection. Should be considered
conductive.
3. Fluoropolymer (PTFE) crimped hoses (B, X, S,

C, J, W) – After crimping, the metal braids are
in intimate contact with the collar; however,
the collar may not be in contact with the end
connection due to the design of the collar/insert
interface. Should be considered to have the
potential to be conductive.
4. Fluoropolymer (PFA) crimped hoses (U) – After

crimping, the teeth of the collar bites down into
metal braids, making contact between the two;
however, the collar may not be in contact with the
end connection due to the design of the collar/
insert interface. Should be considered to have the
potential to be conductive.

dissipative or conductive.

Selecting end connections for hose assembly.
Once you have selected your hose, it is time to
select the end connections. Selecting the right end
connections.
■ Eliminates the need for an adapter to attach the

hose to your system
■ Reduces potential leak points and production
downtime
■ Lowers the risk to personnel, equipment and your
end product
There are three items to consider when selecting the

end connection for your hose:
■ Industry standards
■ Hose type
■ System specifications
■ Consider the materials and types of end
connections in your system
■ Thread types and pressure ratings

Installation and Maintenance

Installation Considerations
Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can be generated by fluid passing
through the hose. Select hose with sufficient
conductivity to ground the static electric charge and
allow static dissipation. If static electricity generation is
possible within an application, choose static dissipative
hose and properly ground to earth.
Vibration
Evaluate amount of system vibration when selecting
hose. Metal hose may not be appropriate for systems
with constant or severe vibration.
150
Length
Take into consideration hose movement, system
pressurization, and thermal expansion when
determining hose length. Installing hose that does not
have length to accommodate these factors may reduce
hose life.
Shelf Life
Shelf life is dependent upon storage methods.
Swagelok does not publish shelf life data for hose
products. However, it is recommended that unused
hose be stored in the original, unopened factory
packaging, in a clean, cool, dry environment to
maximize storage life potential.
Minimum Bend Radius

In the following situations, the total system design
must be considered to ensure safe, trouble-free
performance. Function, material compatibility,
adequate ratings, proper installation, operation, and
maintenance are the responsibilities of the system
designer and user.
■ Follow minimum bend radius requirements for your
hose; installing hose with smaller bends may kink
hose and reduce hose life

Motion Absorption
Distribute movement and prevent bends smaller than

hose length.
Machine Tolerance hose strain

System Pressure Changes
Allow sufficient hose length to accommodate changing
pressures. Do not connect high- and low- pressure
hoses.

Bending in One Plane

■ Avoid twisting the hose by bending it in one plane
only
■ For compound bends, use multiple hose pieces or
other isolation methods

Assemblies.

SAE.
Maintenance
Hose has a limited life and the user must be aware of
potential performance issues, particularly when the
conditions of service include high working pressures
and/or the conveyance or containment of hazardous
materials.
153
Inspection
It is important to establish an inspection schedule
based on your system applications and replacement
history. Hose tagging is an important part of identifying
and tracking hoses.
A visual inspection of the hose should be completed

regularly. Any of the following are causes for concern
and should be further evaluated:
■ Abrasions, fraying, cuts or tears
■ Bending in multiple planes
■ Blistering
■ Bulges and soft spots
■ Corrosion
■ Discoloration
■ Inappropriate live length
■ Kinks
■ Loose covers
■ Stress on end connections
The end connection or fitting should be closely

examined. If there is any sign of movement of the hose
from the end connection, the hose should be removed
from service.
154
Service Life
■
A number of variables impact hose performance
and service life. For example, installation routing,
amount and rate of flex, operating pressure,
media, media and ambient temperature, and
environmental exposure can affect service life. As
a result it is not possible for Swagelok to determine
service life of a hose for a specific application.
However, there are a number of test methods used
in the hose industry that can help develop a service
life schedule relative to a specific hose used in an
application. Please refer to the list of test methods
below➀
■
SAE J1655 Predictive and Preventative Diagnostic
Maintenance of Hydraulic Systems
■
SAE J2545 Test Procedures for Non-SAE Hydraulic
Hoses
■
J1273 Recommended Practice for Hydraulic Hose
Assemblies
■
SAE J1927 Cumulative Damage Analysis for
Hydraulic Hose Assemblies. Helps develop service
life based on actual use, installation, maintenance
and history
■
SAE J517 Hydraulic Hoses
➀N
ote that some of the methods listed within these specifications look
at age and testing to determine if the hose meets original performance
criteria.
