Testing of Prototype Conduit

Abstract

A prototype light weight, lay flat, high working pressure hose capable of flowing 800 gallons per minute has been evaluated through a number of screening tests to identify its potential for augmenting or replacing IPDS aluminum tubing. This new hose exhibits very low elongation and twist and exhibits a working pressure of 650 psi based on a 3:1 safety factor. The next recommended step is for the hose to undergo some product improvements and then be fully evaluated under hot and cold weather environments.
