Stauff UK Ltd are part of the international Walter Stauffenberg group and are appointed exclusive Authorised Distributors for the SPIR STAR range of extreme high pressure hoses in the following areas:

Scotland: serviced by Stauff AberdeenIreland: serviced by Stauff Ireland

We are committed to the supply and support of this high performance product in these areas, as part of the global supply network operated by SPIR STAR®.

The SPIR STAR® product line was born because standard thermoplastic hoses did not meet the requirements of many customers’ needs in respect of pressure, temperature, chemical resistance, permeation, weight and volumetric expansion.

The resultant product development provided the following crucial features:

• Extremely high working pressures

• Excellent chemical resistance to almost all chemicals, detergents

and solvents

• Up to 50% saving of weight with regard to comparable rubber hoses

• Resistant to ozone, ultraviolet light and ageing

• Outer cover is resistant to hydrolysis and microbes

• High resistance to abrasion of the outer cover

• Small bend radius at high volumes of flow

• Low volumetric expansion at maximum working pressure

• Low permeation rate M, PPA and HG Series e.g. methanol

• High temperature stability (HT and F series up to 150/200°C, 392°F)

• Kink resistant

• Minimal pressure drop

• Resistant to sea water

• High impulse resistance and long service life

• Long lengths can be delivered

Applications for these super high pressure, quality hose include:

AutomotiveFor years, the Automotive Industry has been relying on adhesives in the assembly process. SPIR STAR’s Series-F hoses are the perfect solution for transferring bulk adhesives in automobile (and other) plants for glue application.The inner cores of these hoses are made of PTFE and are able to withstand temperatures up to 200°C/392°F with working pressures of up to 500 bar / 7251 psi.

Water BlastingDeveloped especially for concrete removal, sewer cleaning, water jet cutting, pipe cleaning, heat exchanger tube cleaning, and surface preparation as well as the removal of a multitude of deposits.

Oil and GasSPIR STAR® products are being used successfully for projects from the North Sea to the Gulf of Mexico, for example offshore hose bundles, methanol service on platforms, chemical injections at the well hole and hydraulic component control.

High Pressure HydraulicsEngineered to withstand working pressures up to 3200 bar while retaining superior flexibility. Some of the areas of application include autofrettage, hydroforming, hydraulic assembly presses, dismantling of roller bearings, rescue tools and torsion-free pulling of screw connections (bolt tensioning).

r Use a hose with cuts or wire showing through the outer cover.

r Use a hose that has been kinked.

r Use a hose that has bubbles or blisters in the outer cover.

r Exceed the bend radius and pressure rating for each hose.

r Run over or crush the hose with heavy vehicles.

r Use a hose with corroded or leaking end connections.

Take it out of service immediately.

r Use hoses that have been exposed to chemical attack or

exceptional temperature.

r Use dirty water or water with sulphur compounds in it.

Tests have documented that hoses fail more rapidly when using

water sources from chemical plants and refineries.

r Bend the hose over scaffolding or pull heavy equipment with

the hose.

r Let the hose support its own weight off towers or buildings.

r Mechanically rotate the hose without a slipclutch cover

r Expect water jetting or hydraulic hose to last forever.

aTreat high pressure hose with extreme caution. SPIR STAR ® hoses are

wire reinforced hoses with a thermoplastic inner core and should be

treated with the same care as a high pressure containment vessel.

aWhen using hoses for water-jetting, read and understand

recommended practices as laid down by the Water Jetting Association -

see The ‘Blue’ Code of Practice (www.waterjetting.org.uk)

aAlways visually inspect for frayed, damaged or wear spots before using.

aCheck the hose end connections and threads for wear, rust, cracks,

mechanical abuse or other deterioration that could produce a

dangerous projectile.

aKnow the working pressures and burst pressures of all hoses before

using them.

aAlways use clean, filtered water to prolong hose life. Do not use water

that is high in sulphur because sulphur may attack stainless steel.

aAlways clean, drain and coil hoses after use. Soap and water usually

provide an excellent cleaning agent.

aAlways wear protective gloves, eyewear and garments when handling

high pressure hose and water jet lances.

It is essential to follow correct‘Care and Use of High Pressure Hose’ guidelinesThe following are priority lists of Do’s & Don’ts for safety practices when

using high pressure hose.

r DON’T r a DO a Be Safe – Replace!
