The operating temperature of a PE (polyethylene) braided hose can vary depending on the specific grade of PE used and the intended application. Generally, PE is known for its good temperature resistance, but it's important to consider the specific grade and manufacturer's specifications for the hose in question.
1.Standard high-density polyethylene (HDPE) has a temperature resistance range of approximately -50°C to 80°C (-58°F to 176°F). However, it's worth noting that PE can have different grades, including low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), each with slightly different temperature ranges.
2.For specific applications that require higher temperature resistance, specialized PE grades, such as high-temperature polyethylene (HTPE), may be available. These grades can withstand higher temperatures, typically ranging from -50°C to 120°C (-58°F to 248°F) or even higher.
To ensure safe and optimal use, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer's specifications or contact the supplier to obtain accurate information on the operating temperature range of a particular PE braided hose.
