Modern
technology and materials have allowed the industry
to effectively double the old storage air standard of 2,216 psi, creating
lightweight containers capable of 5,000 psi. At these higher pressures, truly
flexible connections were limited by conventional hose technology.
FLEXIBILITY
AT HIGH PRESSURE
Sierra Precision filled this void with the development of the co-axial metal
hose in 1976. This unique design makes it possible to have a hose with a burst point well above 15,000 psi, while remaining flexible
to a 1-1/2" bend radius. This hose is ideal for test panels in cramped
quarters that must monitor high-pressure air or gas systems. Only Sierra
Precision can design and manufacture metal hoses that meet this standard.
We
use chrome-plated, solid brass fittings, fastened with flawless brazing or
high-pressure crimping. Each hose is tested to ensure it will withstand forces
well beyond anything likely to be encountered in even extraordinary uses. We
can also make these fittings in stainless steel for special application. As
with our gauges, Sierra Precision can design and calibrate hoses to fit the need
or application. Sierra Precision's hoses are routinely used for breathable air
or oxygen, as well as a full range of inert and corrosive gases.
RUBBER
HOSES
Sierra Precision also designs rubber hoses for both low-pressure and
high-pressure uses. Our unique design and manufacturing procedures mean you can
choose from numerous options, including black rubber and thermoplastic, and the
hardware and fittings which will accommodate
virtually any use.
