Introduction: Chemical Handling Requires Expertise
In Australia’s mining and industrial chemical sectors, handling acids, alkalis, solvents, and other hazardous chemicals safely is non-negotiable. Equipment failures can lead to:
- Costly downtime
- Environmental incidents
- Health and safety risks
- Non-compliance with Australian Standards
Fox Global, a family-owned and Australian-operated business, supplies purpose-built chemical hose assemblies engineered to meet the demanding requirements of minesites across the nation.
Our latest project involves the delivery of 100mm Code 952 Composite Hose Assemblies, featuring:
- Fixed ANSI 150 Stainless Steel Flanges
- Female Camlocks
- Crimped, tested, and tagged for Australian Standards compliance
These assemblies are designed for chemical suction and delivery applications, providing safe, reliable, and efficient operation in challenging industrial environments.
The Code 952 Composite Hose
Identification and Construction
The Code 952 Composite Hose is easy to identify by its grey cover with either red or blue reflective stripes, distinguishing between chemical classes or applications.
Construction Features:
- Tube: Polypropylene fabrics and films selected for chemical resistance and strength
- Internal Reinforcing Wire: Polypropylene-coated steel for structural integrity
- External Reinforcing Wire: Stainless steel for durability
- Cover: Grey PVC-coated fabric with reflective stripe for visibility
This construction ensures the hose is lightweight, flexible, and resistant to chemical corrosion, making it ideal for minesites and chemical transport operations.
Compliance and Standards
Code 952 Composite Hoses supplied by Fox Global are manufactured, crimped, and certified to meet stringent Australian Standards, including:
- AS 2117 Type 2/3, Grade 2, Electrical Kind B (discontinuous)
- AS 2594-1983
Tested Pressure: 2× working pressure
Burst Pressure: 4× working pressure
Every hose assembly is tagged, tested, and ready for immediate use, ensuring compliance and operational safety.
