With a design similar to REELTEX®, HOTSTOP® has greater heat and abrasion resistance by using the Aramid fiber in place of the polyester. This extends the melt point to 750°F (399°C) and the burn point to 800°F (427°C).
All performance features of REELTEX® apply equally to HOTSTOP®, but with standard yellow ENCAP. When using HOTSTOP® with foam eductor systems, normal hose lay limits may change. Note reel diamter minimum requirements in chart below. Patent No. 2168497.
HOTSTOP® specifications
The hose shall be a single jacket construction of 100% ARAMID warp yarn, yellow ENCAP treated, combined with a special helical interior reinforcement.
There shall be a minimum of 14 filler yarns per inch in the jacket.
The thickness of the lining shall be 0.030" (762 µm) minimum and it shall be constructed of
lightweight extruded T.P.U. elastomer.
The jacket shall be treated with yellow ENCAP elastomer which shall completely encapsulate the jacket fibers and not merely surface coat the jacket.
The hose service temperature range shall be -40°F to 175°F (-40°C to 79°C). While in service, the hose can briefly withstand a temperature of 700°F (371°C) without any damage to the jacket or liner.
FM abrasion test of 65000 cycles minimum.
At 600 PSIG (4200 kPa), its elongation shall not exceed 8% of the initial hose length, it shall not warp more than 20 inches (51 cm) and should not rise from the test table.
Shall not twist more than 9 turns per 50 ft (15,2 m) while at 600 PSIG (4200 kPa).
Minimum service test pressure of 300 PSIG (2100 kPa).
Minimum proof test pressure of 600 PSIG (4200 kPa).
Minimum straight burst test pressure of 1800 PSIG (12600 kPa).
The hose while curved to a radius of 27" (69 cm) shall not burst at less than 1800 PSIG (12600 kPa)
