With a minimum bending radius of 200 mm, the K-260-1.5-M30x1.5 offers the necessary flexibility for tight laboratory setups without compromising flow rates or safety. This hose is an essential accessory for Peter Huber high-performance systems, ensuring reliable and secure fluid transport during critical temperature control cycles while preventing energy loss through its high-quality insulation layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the 1.5-meter length beneficial for laboratory setups?
The 150cm length is ideal for connecting benchtop chillers to nearby reactors or instruments. It provides enough length for comfortable routing while minimizing the "dead volume" of thermal fluid outside the chiller, which helps maintain rapid temperature response times.

2. What makes the K-260 series safer than non-insulated hoses?
The specialized insulation and smooth silicone cover protect the operator from accidental burns when the system is running at +260°C and prevent ice build-up or condensation when operating at -60°C.

3. How does the silicone cover improve maintenance?
Unlike exposed metal or fabric braiding, the smooth silicone surface is non-porous and can be easily wiped down to remove chemical splashes, dust, or contaminants, ensuring a clean laboratory environment.

4. Is this hose compatible with all Huber thermal fluids?
Yes, the K-260 series is designed to be chemically compatible with a wide range of heat transfer fluids, including silicone oils and water-glycol mixtures, across its entire temperature range.

5. What is the maximum pressure this hose can handle at high temperatures?
While the hose is rated for 10 bar at room temperature (20°C), the maximum operating pressure is 6 bar when the temperature reaches 260°C. Always monitor system pressure when working at extreme temperatures.
