Thorburn H96 — Hastelloy C276 Annular, Single Hastelloy Braid

The Thorburn H96 — Hastelloy C276 Annular, Single Hastelloy Braid is a Hastelloy C276 annular corrugated metallic hose. Hastelloy C276 single-braid annular (matched alloy). Working pressure to 140 bar at the smallest bore; operating temperature -200°C to +675°C.

Hastelloy C276 delivers the corrosion / temperature envelope that no stainless grade can match: severe sour gas, oxidising acids (sulphuric, phosphoric, hot chloride), FGD scrubber service, and chlorine-bleach pulp & paper plants.

Construction

• Type: Exotic Alloy Annular — Hastelloy C276 single-braid annular (matched alloy)
• Core material: Hastelloy C276
• Braid: Single Braid — Inconel
• End fitting material: 316L SS standard; matched-alloy fittings (Hastelloy, Inconel, Monel) available for severe service
• Nominal ID range: DN 6 (1/4") to DN 250 (10")
• Bend radius (static / dynamic): 30 / 150 mm minimum
• Weight: ~0.32 kg/m (size-dependent)

Performance

Working pressure 140 bar (smallest bore, single braid configuration) — derates with increasing diameter and temperature per the OEM datasheet. Burst pressure 560 bar minimum, safety factor 4:1 per ISO 10380. Operating temperature -200°C to +675°C continuous; intermittent excursions evaluated on request. All assemblies hydrotested at 1.5× working pressure with witness-test certificate available.

Applications

• Severe sour-gas pressure-controlled lines
• Acidic process plant transfer
• High-cycle FGD scrubber service
• Hot chloride process at pressure

Compliance

• ISO 10380:2012 PSL 2 (Corrugated Metal Hoses and Hose Assemblies)
• Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU Module H
• ASME B31.3 Class 2 (Hastelloy)
• NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 (sour-service compliant)
• CSA B51
• EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 mill test reports on request

How to order

Confirm (a) line working pressure and process medium (specify chemistry, temperature, and any concentration limits — exotic-alloy selection depends critically on the corrosion envelope), (b) operating temperature range, (c) bore size and overall length, (d) end fitting style and matching alloy preference (matched-alloy fittings are recommended for severe service; SS fittings reduce cost where corrosion permits), (e) braid count (drives pressure rating), (f) any required certifications. Indus quotes ex-OEM with mill test reports, alloy-specific certifications, and pre-shipment hydrotest certificates.

Companion products

For severe sour service, ask about the matched Hastelloy C276 expansion-joint variant. For high-vibration installations, add a Lock-Section or Armor-Flex external hose guard. For fire-rated runs, the Fry-Sil Fire Jacket / Fire Tape can be added without compromising the alloy core. Indus also supplies matched-alloy ANSI flanges, gaskets (RTJ for high-pressure RF), and stud bolts.
