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 ramp rates and better temperature 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 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 generally highly compatible with common heat transfer fluids, including silicone oils, within the specified temperature range.

4. How heavy is this hose?
This 1-meter model has a net weight of approximately 1.55 kg, making it lightweight and easy to install while maintaining industrial-grade durability.

5. Is this hose suitable for high-flow applications?
Yes, with a nominal width of DN 25 (25 mm internal diameter), this hose is designed to handle high flow rates, which is crucial for the efficient operation of large-scale temperature control systems.
