Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is a 1-meter hose useful for my setup?
A shorter 100cm hose is ideal for benchtop setups where the chiller is placed directly next to the application. It minimizes the volume of thermal fluid in the external circuit, which can lead to faster temperature ramp rates and improved control precision.

2. What is the benefit of the silicone outer cover?
The smooth silicone cover provides an easy-to-clean surface that protects the insulation from chemical splashes and dust, ensuring a longer service life and better hygiene in busy laboratory environments.

3. Can this hose be used with silicone oil thermal fluids?
Yes, the materials used in the K-260 series are highly compatible with common heat transfer fluids, including silicone oils and water-glycol mixtures, within the specified temperature range.

4. How heavy is this hose?
This 1-meter model has a net weight of approximately 1.25 kg, making it lightweight and easy to install while still maintaining the durability of industrial-grade materials.

5. Is this hose suitable for high-flow applications?
Yes, with a nominal width of DN 20 (20 mm internal diameter), this hose is designed to handle high flow rates, which is crucial for the efficient operation of medium-to-large scale temperature control systems.
