High-Purity Silicone Hoses

Silicone hoses are suitable for use in pharmaceutical, biotech, cosmetic, and food and beverage applications. They are designed to meet 3-A, USDA, FDA and USP Class VI standards. Each hose is certified to be free of any animal-derived ingredients and manufactured in a clean room environment.

Sentinel Process Systems’ silicone hoses feature pharmaceutical-grade, USP Class VI silicone, resulting in seamless extruded tubes.

Choosing the Right Reinforced Silicone Hose

Quickly identify the best hose for your needs:

Reinforcement Type Primary Benefit Ideal Applications
Braid High pressure resistance Pharmaceutical transfer, load cells
Fabric Durability and flexibility General purpose, lower-pressure media
Wire Kink resistance and vacuum rating Suction lines, tight routing

Types of Reinforced Hoses

Different reinforcement types are available to meet specific pressure, vacuum and flexibility requirements.

Braid Reinforced Silicone Hose

Braided silicone hoses use a single-ply polyester yarn braid inside the tube wall and are perfect for midrange pressures. They can resist weathering and extreme temperatures and are very flexible and lightweight.

  • I.D. range: ¼” to 1″
  • O.D. range: 0.52″ to 1.36″
  • Working pressure: 65 PSI up to 160 PSI
  • Min. bend radius: 1.3″ to 5″
  • Weight per foot: 0.09 to 0.31 pounds
  • Max length: 50 feet
  • Temperature: -100°F to 395°F
  • Tube: Platinum cured silicone hose, FDA, 3-A, USP Class VI
  • Reinforcement: Single ply polyester braid
  • Cover: White translucent
  • Cleaning: CIP, SIP, autoclave

Fabric Reinforced Silicone Hose

Fabric-reinforced hoses use four polyester fabric layers within the tube wall to balance strength and lightness. These phthalate-free hoses are specifically designed for use in bulk transfer, high-pressure and light-vacuum process applications. The low force-to-bend capabilities allow a highly flexible suction, vacuum and delivery hose.

  • I.D. range: 1/2″ to 3″
  • O.D. range: 1″ to 3.5″
  • Working pressure: 45 PSI up to 150 PSI
  • Min. bend radius: 8″ to 12″
  • Weight per foot: 0.27 to 1.33 pounds
  • Max length: 130 feet
  • Temperature: -100°F to 395°F
  • Tube: Platinum cured silicone hose, FDA, 3-A, USP Class VI
  • Reinforcement: 4 ply polyester fabric
  • Cover: White translucent (colors are available)
  • Cleaning: CIP, SIP, autoclave

Wire Reinforced Silicone Hose

Reinforced with four polyester fabric layers and 316 stainless steel wire helix to ensure a balance between strength and lightness. It requires low force to bend, resulting in a highly flexible vacuum and delivery hose. The ozone- and abrasion-resistant cover provides long life.

  • I.D. range: 1/2″ to 4″
  • O.D. range: 0.94″ to 4.61″
  • Working pressure: 50 PSI up to 150 PSI
  • Min. bend radius: 1.5″ to 14.5″
  • Weight per foot: 0.31 to 2.38 pounds
  • Max length: 130 feet
  • Temperature: -100°F to 395°F
  • Tube: Platinum cured silicone hose, FDA, 3-A, USP Class VI
  • Reinforcement: 4 ply polyester fabric with 316L stainless steel wire helix
  • Cover: White translucent (colors are available)
  • Cleaning: CIP, SIP, autoclave
