47industrialhosePerformance under pressureFor any type of steam – superheated, saturated or wet – andat pressures far exceeding the industry standard requirements,the Goodall BR8 Inferno steam hose provides performance,safety, and a long service life.The BR8 Inferno has been developed to address the eightmost common problems encountered with steam hoses.These are:n Popcorning of innersn Blowing of outer layersn Rusting of metal braidn Unclear markingsn Premature agingn Kinkingn Static charge build-upn Leaking fittingThrough a combination of innovative design and high quality manufacture, the BR8Inferno overcomes all these problems, and easily passes the standard steam hose tests.The mirror-smooth seamless inner of the hose provides superior gas tightness to preventpopcorning, whilst an extruded and pinpricked outer later prevents blowing. Beneath theouter layer, two layers of brass laminated steel braid resist rusting, and the double braid layeralso helps to prevent kinking. The cover, made from extruded EPDM and clearly marked withspiral marking – is both heat- and weather-resistant, to prevent premature aging.Any build-up of static charge caused by the collision of the water and vapourmolecules in the steam is quickly discharged thanks to the Goodall BR8 Inferno’selectrical conductivity. And finally, 100% leakproof DINBO couplings eliminatethe problem of leakage once and for all.The result is a steam hose which not only meets but also exceedsEN ISO 6134 requirements:EN ISO 6134n Burst Pressure 180 barn Electrically Conductive < 1x106 Ω (between end couplings)n Electrically Conductive < 1x109 Ω (between the inner and outer layers)n Duration of test: 720 hours at 198ºC (20 hours steam, 4 hour rest)Goodall BR8 Infernon Burst Pressure 227 Barn Electrically Conductive < 1x 523 Ωn Electrically Conductive < 1x 803 Ωn Duration of test: 1000 hours at 198ºC (23.5 hours steam, ½ hour rest)Visit us at eriks-techdirect.co.ukto find your local Service Centre
