More Flexible Hose For Use With Hydraulic Flowmeter{0651,5050}

Usage:

A new pressure gauge hose is available for use with the 5P3600 Hydraulic Flowmeter Group. The new hose is flexible under all conditions, including long periods of storage. At times, the former hose was not flexible after long periods of storage.

The new hose has fittings with 1/8" - 27 outside pipe threads on each end. It has a working pressure of 41 500 kPa (6000 psi) and a minimum burst (failure) pressure of 165 000 kPa (24000 psi).

As shown in the chart, the new hose assembly can be ordered with or without quick disconnect fittings. If you want to replace the former pressure hose in the 5P3600 Hydraulic Flowmeter Group, order the 6V4055 Hose Assembly and use the quick disconnect fittings on the former pressure hose. Or, order the 6V4817 Hose Assembly which has the quick disconnect fittings.

The 6V4055 Hose Assembly is 5486 mm (18 ft) long and can be used in any test application less than 41 500 kPa (6000 psi).

New flowmeter groups include the 6V4817 Hose Assembly.
