Internally Heated Heated Hose Hose Pressure
Internally Internally Heated Hose
Internally heated hoses experience additional pressure drop when compared to externally heated
hoses of the same inner diameter. The system pressure setpoint may need to be increased to
offset the additional pressure drop and achieve desired pressure and pattern at the gun. Pressure
drop may vary based on pressure setpoint, temperature setpoints, chemical viscosities, and hose
configuration (length and number of fittings). Reference the table below as a starting point for
offsetting the additional pressure drop.

Internally Heated Heated Hose Hose Temperature
Internally Internally Heated Hose
Temperature setpoints may need to be adjusted on internally heated hoses to address additional
pressure imbalance caused by additional pressure drop. In order to balance pressures, increase the
temperature of the higher pressure material and decrease the temperature of the lower pressure
material. Once the imbalance is resolved, adjust the temperature setpoints up or down together to
achieve the desired results.
