Super Inferno Steam HoseISO 9001 and ISO 14001

Over the last 45 years, GOODALL®, the manufacturer, has carried out

research into rubber steam hoses. During this time, it developed a

proprietary, Chlorobutyl steam hose tube compound. GOODALL’S®

Chlorobutyl tube compound continues to demonstrate its superior

performance versus comparable hoses when transferring steam.

Standard steam hose Manufacturer X

Practical tests and test procedures, which

approximate the most extreme applications

for rubber steam hoses, have educated

GOODALL® about the medium of steam

and the ultimate steam hose.

An important consideration when selecting

a tube compound for steam service, is eval-

uating the permeability of the elastomer,

which is a primary function of its individ-

ual chemical structure. Permeability tests

indicate that an EPDM elastomer is about

15 times more permeable to moisture vapor

and other gases than Chlorobutyl. An EPDM

elastomer is more susceptible to microscopic

water and steam particles collecting in the

wall and causing the ’popcorning’ effect.

To minimize permeability, GOODALL®

developed a special Chlorobutyl rubber

compound, which when extruded is

extremely smooth.

The use of rubber steam hoses offers

advantages over the often-used metal

hoses. Stainless Steel metal hoses are not

as robust as rubber steam hoses in dynamic

applications. Extensive tests confirm that

the GOODALL® SUPER INFERNO hose has an

extremely long service life, sometimes more

than four times longer than other hoses.

Increased Service Life with Super Inferno:

• Rubber Steam Hoses are Less Susceptible to Kinking

• Chemically Resistant Cover

• Less Vulnerable to External Damage

• Service Life up to 4 Times Longer than Other Hoses


Risk to the User

Rubber steam hoses, are affected on the

inside by ‘popcorning’. As a result, the

hose poses danger to users in its vicinity.

The affected reinforcements can no longer

withstand the operating pressure, which

causes the hose to develop a problem.

This can result in personal injury and/or

property damage.

Solution to Reduce Risk

Steam is extremely dangerous. You should

therefore choose the safest steam hose

assembly available.

The GOODALL® SUPER INFERNO hose has

been specially developed to provide safe use

when used in combination with any one of

the Campbell crimp on couplings for steam

applications.

All Campbell crimp on couplings for steam

applications comply with the Lewis-Goetz

internal work order instructions. Crimped

steam assemblies eliminate the need for

retightening bolts and cut costs caused by

leaky clamps.

GOODALL® SUPER INFERNO

The GOODALL SUPER INFERNO

distinguishes itself from every other

steam hose on the market.

Its longer service life ensures fewer issues and reduced

Steam, A Critical Utility

Steam is critical in many operational processes. However, working

with steam is dangerous. Selecting the right hose, couplings, and

installation method is important to be able to work safely with steam.

‘Popcorning’ effect

The service life of steam hose is drastically

reduced when the condensate is not drained

from the hose after use. This condensation

or vapor penetrates the pores of the tube of

the hose and is retained. The next time the

hose is connected to the steam network,

the retained moisture in the tube expands

by a factor of 1600; because of this sudden

increase in volume, air bubbles or blisters,

are created in the tube.

The surface of the tube will resemble pop-

corn. Every time the hose is used, at start-up

the ‘popcorning’ effect is worsened with

particles of rubber exploding from the tube

of the hose. These particles will contaminate

the steam network or the product and block

the system. The moist vapor, which is found

in the rubber of the hose, will also force its

way outwards and degrade and weaken the

steel reinforcements of the hose.

By displaying the combination of operat-

ing pressure and temperature, the steam

diagram shows whether the steam is

saturated or superheated.

Saturated steam can either contain or be

free of un-evaporated water particles and

consequently be either ‘wet’ or ‘dry’.

Every point below the ‘saturated steam’

line represents hot water. Every point

above the line represents superheated

steam. The service life of steam hoses is

shortened every time the hose is exposed

to the superheated steam.

Saturated and, to a certain extent, wet

steam has a ‘lubricating’ effect on the

rubber tube of the hose. However,

superheated and therefore dry steam

slowly hardens the rubber tube due to the

process of vulcanization. This results in a

reduction in the service life of the hose.

Superheated steam can sometimes be

created unintentionally when the valve is

suddenly opened or at a transition from a

small to a much larger diameter pipe.

Fabrication and Testing

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Because of the dangers associated with the

use of steam hoses, the reinforcement of

the hose can be affected by steam, which

penetrates through the tube to the outside.

The metal of the reinforcement is affected

within the hose. Testing used hoses

periodically at 500 PSI will reduce such

risks for the user.

We offer retesting to our customers at their

request as part of our hose service program.

We suggest users refer to RMA IP 11-1 for further information.
