SAE J30-Compliant FKM Lined Fuel and Oil-Resistant Silicone Hoses
SAE J30-Compliant FKM Lined Fuel and Oil-Resistant Silicone Hoses
At Goodflex Rubber, we are dedicated in providing our customers with quality silicone hoses for their most demanding applications. We understand the importance of safety, reliability, and performance in fuel and oil systems, which is why we are thrilled to announce that our FKM lined fuel and oil-resistant silicone hoses have now been tested to meet the standards of SAE J30.
What Does SAE J30 Compliance Mean?
SAE J30 is the industry standard for fuel and oil silicone hoses, established by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). This standard sets requirements for the construction, performance, and durability of silicone hoses used in automotive fuel systems. Achieving SAE J30 compliance is a testament to the quality and reliability of our silicone hoses, ensuring they can withstand the conditions of fuel and oil transfer, from high temperatures to exposure to aggressive fluids.
The Advantages of FKM Lining
Our FKM (Fluoroelastomer) lined silicone hoses offer resistance to fuel, oil and other aggressive chemicals. FKM is known for its thermal stability, making it ideal for applications that involve high temperatures and demanding environments. This advanced material also provides excellent impermeability to gases, reducing the risk of leaks and ensuring long-term reliability.
Our FKM lined silicone hoses offer:
- Enhanced Durability: The FKM lining significantly increases the lifespan of the silicone hose, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimising downtime.
- Low Permeability: With a low permeability result, verifying the hose’s ability to prevent fuel vapor loss, which is crucial for both performance and environmental compliance.
- Chemical Resistance: Our silicone hoses can handle a wide range of fuels and oils, including biofuels, ethanol-blended fuels and other modern fuel formulations, without degrading.
- Temperature Tolerance: With the ability to perform effectively in high-temperature environments, our silicone hoses are perfect for applications in both standard and high-performance engines.
Applications and Industries
Our SAE J30-compliant FKM lined silicone hoses are ideal for a variety of applications across multiple industries, including:
- Automotive: Fuel lines, oil cooling systems, and turbocharger connections.
- Marine: Fuel transfer systems and oil circulation lines.
- Industrial: Equipment that requires reliable fuel and oil transfer solutions.
Whether you’re working on a high-performance automotive project, outfitting a commercial fleet, or developing industrial machinery, our silicone hoses deliver the performance and reliability you need.
