Sanitary Hose Assemblies for Bio-Pharm Applications
Pharmaceutical process systems often use sanitary hose assemblies for applications like load cell isolators, portable tank hookups, and CIP jumpers. These hoses must be steam sterilizable or autoclavable, with product-contact materials meeting USP Class VI standards. While many hose materials comply with FDA guidelines, only platinum-cured silicone and smooth bore PTFE (Teflon) meet pharmaceutical requirements. The choice between these two materials depends on the specific application and objectives.

- Light in weight
- Very flexible
- Cannot take what is normally considered high pressure
- Sizes from ¼” to 4”
- ¼” -1” is generally extruded material with a braid reinforcement
- Mandrel wrapped, cloth reinforced 4 ply hose is available from ½”-4”, normally with a wire helix
- Silicone hoses have very little tensile strength on its own. The braided material can stretch a little.
- Silicone hoses can be somewhat gas permeable.
- Good but not great chemical resistance. Silicone does not do well with many solvents
