Aircraft Ducting "SCAT" type ducting has the same type construction as "CAT" except with the red silicon rubber impregnation.
VENA® HT Series flexible hoses (SCAT equivalent) are made of one layer of glass fabric silicone coated and visible steel wire spiral inside. Sold by the foot.
They are intended for use in conducting extremely cold or hot air where temperatures range from -65°F to +550°F.
Product Features:
Lightweight and extremely flexible. Short sections, which are normally unusable, can be joined together to form a continuous length.
Excellent flexibility during the assembly process.
High heat resistance, especially at high temperature gases.
There is the possibility to manufacture the cuffs end in inner and outer smooth appearance, a good alternative to get and easier hose installation.
Excellent resistance to thermal aging and oxidizing agents (oxygen, ozone, UV).
Operational temperature range from -55°C (-67 F) to +260°C (500 F), it may reach up to 300°C (572 F) during short periods of time.
The standard manufacturing length is 4 meters long (13.12 ft.), although it can be manufactured in 6m long (19.69 ft) in some diameters.
Applications
These kind of flexible hoses are specially recommended in gas conductions at high temperatures (for example. in brake cooling systems), engine exhaust fume extraction from a point immediately close to the ejection area. Also recommended for use as electric cable protection crossing hot spots or sheathed pipes where air or hot water circulation. Not recommended for negative pressure applications. Other possible applications include:
Hot air extraction in ceramic kilns.
Airplane or helicopter cockpit heating.
Ventilation and air-conditioning in boats.
Protection of electric cables passing through extremely hot areas.
Sheathing of pipework transporting hot air.
