Is the DIN 73378 Polyamide Pneumatic Hose PA12 E suitable for use with hydraulic oils and fuels at temperatures from -10°C to +80°C?

Yes. The DIN 73378 Polyamide Pneumatic Hose PA12 E is suitable for use with hydraulic oils and fuels at temperatures from -10°C to +80°C. It is specifically manufactured from durable polyamide PA12 (nylon) and is engineered to withstand that temperature range. The hose is designed for pneumatic, hydraulic, oil, fuel, lubrication, and chemical systems, and offers working pressures from 11 bar up to 40 bar (depending on diameter and wall thickness), making it appropriate for hydraulic oils and fuels within the stated temperature limits.

Can the DIN 73378 Polyamide Pneumatic Hose PA12 E be used for chemical transfer applications, and are there any chemical compatibility limitations?

DIN 73378 Polyamide Pneumatic Hose PA12 E can be used for many chemical transfer applications: it is explicitly described as suitable for chemical systems and is made from polyamide PA12 (nylon), which offers good general chemical resistance, high flexibility, and durability. Its rated working pressures (11–40 bar depending on size) and temperature range (−10°C to +80°C) support reliable operation in typical industrial chemical handling environments. However, there are chemical compatibility limitations to consider. PA12 resists many hydrocarbons, oils, fuels, lubricants, alcohols and diluted acids/alkalis, but it can be attacked or swell when exposed to strong acids, strong alkalis, concentrated oxidizers (e.g., nitric or sulfuric acid, strong bleach), some ketones, chlorinated solvents and certain aggressive organic solvents. Very high temperatures, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or steam can also degrade performance. Recommendation: verify compatibility case-by-case by consulting a PA12 chemical compatibility chart or supplier datasheet for the specific chemicals, concentrations, temperatures and exposure durations involved. For highly aggressive media or extreme conditions, consider alternative materials or protective measures.
