What is the maximum length of a hose assembly including swaged fittings?

The maximum length of a hose assembly, including swaged fittings, is established based on safety regulations and industry standards. These standards typically dictate that the length of the hose should not exceed a certain limit to ensure safe operation and to prevent issues such as high-pressure drops or potential failures during operation.

In this context, a maximum length of 48 inches represents a balance between providing sufficient flexibility for the application while ensuring that the integrity and performance of the hose are maintained. Longer hoses can increase the risk of kinks, damage, and difficulties in handling, which can compromise the safety and efficiency of the CNG system.

Maintaining this limit is crucial for ensuring compliance with safety protocols and effective function in applications involving compressed natural gas. By adhering to this maximum length, operators can help to mitigate risks associated with hose failures and optimize the overall performance of the CNG system.
