Standard Labelling
All Pharmaline N and X hose assemblies are labelled with the following information:
- Manufacturer’s Name (Aflex Hose Ltd)
- Hose Type, Size and Grade
- EN16643 and Year of Standard Publication
- EN16643 Electrical Property Grade
- Max. Working Pressure and Test Pressure
- Working Temperature Range*
- Unique Serial Number
- Month & Year of Manufacture
- Aflex Hose Telephone Number
- CE Mark (if applicable)
*Note any restrictions on working pressure resulting from elevated temperatures.
This information is normally laser-etched on to a ferrule.
In some cases, at the discretion of Aflex Hose, the information may be etched on to a stainless steel ring, or a thin stainless steel plate which is clamped to the hose. This may be necessary for example, if the customer requires additional information which may not fit on to a Ferrule.
Streamline Tagging
A label and/or Colour Code is placed around the silicone cover of the hose and then encapsulated by a transparent silicone that is formed into a thin streamlined cover.
Note: 1/4” size, Colour Code only, no text.
Colour Coding
A coloured PTFE spiral strip is wound on to the hose.
It can be left loose, or it can be encapsulated under a transparent, heat-shrunk polyolefin sleeve.
