ABS-TH10 Liquid Nitrogen Transfer Hose 10 ft HORIZON SCIENTIFIC

Description

Product Overview

The ABS-TH10 liquid nitrogen transfer hose is engineered for demanding scientific and industrial applications where reliability and safety are paramount. Constructed from high‑grade ABS polymer, the hose offers exceptional resistance to chemical attack, ensuring that aggressive cryogenic fluids do not degrade the inner wall over time. The 10‑foot length provides ample reach for complex piping layouts while maintaining a low‑profile profile that fits into tight spaces without compromising performance.

Measuring 120 inches in overall length, the hose has an outer diameter of 8.5 inches and a wall thickness of 0.04 inches, delivering a balance of flexibility and structural integrity. Weighing just seven pounds, the hose can be easily maneuvered by a single operator, reducing setup time and labor costs. The product dimensions and weight make it suitable for both bench‑top laboratory stations and larger floor‑mounted systems.

Manufactured by Horizon Scientific, a trusted name in laboratory equipment, the ABS-TH10 meets rigorous industry standards for cryogenic fluid transport. The hose is compatible with standard 1/4‑inch and 3/8‑inch fittings, allowing seamless integration with existing nitrogen supply lines, regulators, and safety devices. Its design incorporates reinforced braid layers that prevent kinking and maintain consistent internal pressure, even under rapid temperature fluctuations.

In addition to its robust construction, the hose features a smooth interior surface that minimizes turbulence, reducing pressure drop and improving flow efficiency. This characteristic is especially valuable in high‑throughput processes where precise nitrogen delivery rates are critical. The hose’s exterior is marked with clear labeling indicating flow direction, safety warnings, and handling instructions, facilitating quick identification and correct installation by technicians.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the ABS-TH10 excels in a variety of environments ranging from academic research labs to large‑scale industrial facilities. In a university chemistry department, the hose can be employed to connect liquid nitrogen dewars to cooling baths, enabling rapid temperature control for synthesis reactions, spectroscopy experiments, and material testing. Its chemical‑resistant properties ensure that accidental spills of solvents or reagents do not compromise the hose integrity.

In industrial settings, the hose is ideal for processes such as metal quenching, cryogenic grinding, and low‑temperature polymer extrusion. The 10‑foot length allows engineers to route the hose across workstations while maintaining a clean, organized layout that complies with safety regulations. The hose’s flexibility permits easy installation around obstacles, pipe runs, and equipment frames without the need for additional fittings or adapters.

Field technicians who service cryogenic equipment appreciate the hose’s lightweight design and quick‑connect features, which reduce downtime during maintenance or system upgrades. The hose can also be used in portable applications, such as on‑site sample preservation or field‑based analytical instruments, where reliable nitrogen delivery is essential for preserving specimen integrity.

FAQ

What temperature range can the ABS-TH10 hose safely handle?

The hose is rated for cryogenic temperatures down to –196 °C (–321 °F), making it suitable for liquid nitrogen and other ultra‑cold fluids. It also tolerates ambient temperatures up to 60 °C (140 °F) without loss of mechanical integrity.

Is the hose compatible with standard nitrogen fittings?

Yes, the ABS-TH10 is designed to work with common 1/4‑inch and 3/8‑inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) fittings. Adapters are available if you need to connect to alternative thread sizes or quick‑connect couplings.

Can the hose be used with other cryogenic gases besides nitrogen?

While the hose is optimized for liquid nitrogen, its chemical‑resistant ABS material can also handle other inert cryogenic gases such as argon and helium, provided the operating pressures remain within the manufacturer’s specified limits.

What maintenance procedures are recommended to extend the hose’s lifespan?

Regular visual inspections for signs of wear, abrasion, or discoloration are advised. Clean the exterior with mild detergent and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the outer coating. Store the hose in a cool, dry environment when not in use, and avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for prolonged periods.

Does Horizon Scientific offer a warranty on the ABS-TH10 hose?

Yes, the hose comes with a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and workmanship. Should any issue arise within the warranty period, contact our support team for a replacement or repair solution.
