Insulon® Vacuum Jacketed Hose, Low Pressure, MLI, 3/8″ ID, with Outer Braid

Insulon® Vacuum Jacketed Hose, Low Pressure, MLI, 3/8″ ID, with Outer Braid. MLI variants add proprietary high-density multi-layer insulation inside the vacuum annulus, blocking all three modes of heat transfer: convection, conduction, and radiation. MLI increases outer diameter and minimum bend radius compared to Standard variants but does not affect pressure ratings or operating temperature range. Recommended for: cryogens at the lowest temperatures (LHe, LH2), continuous cryogenic flow (hours/days), chiller fluids below -80°C, or any application where radiation heat gain is significant. Low Pressure Insulon® hose rated to 72 psi at RT (≤100°F / 38°C). MAWP decreases as fluid temperature increases above 100°F; see derating table below. Typical applications: chiller supply/return lines, LN2 transfer with transient flow, liquid CO2 service, low-pressure process gas lines. The stainless steel outer braid is added over the standard Insulon® hose vacuum jacket, providing abrasion resistance and physical protection for rugged or high-movement environments including: truck and trailer sample lines, bulk gas delivery and mobile LOX/LIN/LAr transfers, temporary lines across concrete or gravel, and mobile dewar connections with frequent connect/disconnect cycles. The outer braid does not affect bore size, pressure rating, insulation level, operating temperature range, or compatible fluids. Compatible Fluids for Insulon® Vacuum Jacketed Hose Cryogenic liquids: liquid nitrogen (LN2), liquid helium (LHe), liquid argon (LAr), liquid oxygen (LOX), liquid natural gas / liquid methane (LNG / LCH4), liquid CO2 Hydrogen: liquid hydrogen (LH2) and gaseous hydrogen (GH2). Fully annealed materials resist hydrogen embrittlement. Thermal fluids and coolants: glycol/water mixtures, Syltherm 800, Syltherm XLT, Dowtherm Q, Dowtherm J, other synthetic heat transfer fluids, cryo-chiller fluids High-temperature fluids: steam, hot air, exhaust gases, process heating oils Specialty and process gases: GN2, GHe, GAr; semiconductor precursor, carrier, and deposition gases Corrosive media: add a fluoropolymer liner (PTFE, PFA, FEP) for broad compatibility with corrosive process fluids If system pressure at operating temperature exceeds MAWP, contact Concept Group engineering. Insulon® Hose MAWP by Fluid Temperature, 3/8″ ID, Low Pressure MAWP is constant from cryogenic temperatures through room temperature (≤100°F / 38°C). For fluid temperatures above 100°F, use the derating table below. Round UP to the next 100°F row for conservatism (e.g., a 320°F system uses the 400°F row).
