CARBOCORD®/10
Oil- and petrol-resistant pressure hose (discharge only, not suction), electrically conductive. Designed for loading and unloading unleaded fuels on vehicles and ships. NBR inner tube is oil- and petrol-resistant up to 50% aromatic content. PN 10 bar working pressure. Differs from the CARBOFLEX®/U.L./OHM series in being discharge only (not suction-discharge).
- Antistatic <10⁹ Ω
- NBR oil-/petrol-resistant
- Flammable liquid discharge
- PN 10 bar
- Up to +90 °C
- Cut to length
Why this hose?
CARBOCORD®/10 is a specialised discharge-only hose for fuel — not a suction-discharge. The intended application is loading of unleaded fuels on vehicles and vessels at 10 bar working pressure.
The difference from CARBOFLEX®/U.L./OHM is primarily the design: CARBOCORD is discharge-oriented, where CARBOFLEX handles both suction and pressure. For full-cycle tank unloading and industrial cleaning, CARBOFLEX is the right choice; for pure fuel loading, CARBOCORD is.
Where it is used
In practice CARBOCORD®/10 is seen at forecourt fuel loading and at marine bunkering where antistatic dissipation is necessary.
The formal product name is CARBOCORD®/10. In daily use: "the discharge fuel hose" or "CARBOCORD".

Overpressure and underpressure values are recommended operating limits; the product can be subjected to higher loads on request. Bend radius is measured along the inside of the hose bend.
Standards and compliance
The hose is certified or documented to the following standards:
- EN ISO 1307:2008. International standard format for hoses.
- REACH (EC 1907/2006) and RoHS 2011/65/EU. The manufacturer holds declarations of compliance.

Help with material selection
If you are choosing a hose and are uncertain about the right resistance level or zone classification, these two articles are a good place to start:
Industries that use it
The hose is used for fuel distribution:
Maritime and transport industries use the hose for fuel loading where antistatic dissipation is mandatory.
Custom lengths and assemblies
The hose can be cut to length and assembled with couplings, cuffs and threaded fittings through Particulair's custom hose assemblies.
We offer guidance on material choice, coupling system and grounding, so the hose fits correctly into the overall system. If there is any doubt about zone classification or resistance requirements, a short conversation before ordering is well worth the time.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between CARBOCORD and CARBOFLEX?
CARBOCORD is a discharge-only hose for loading. CARBOFLEX is a suction-discharge hose for both unloading and loading. Choose CARBOFLEX if you need suction; choose CARBOCORD if it is purely discharge distribution.
Does it tolerate unleaded petrol?
Yes. The NBR inner tube is specifically approved for unleaded fuels up to 50% aromatic content. That covers all standard EU petrol specifications.
Can the hose be supplied cut to length with couplings?
Yes. CARBOCORD®/10 can be cut to length and assembled with couplings, cuffs and threaded fittings through Particulair's custom hose assemblies. We provide guidance on coupling system and sealing so the hose fits correctly into the overall installation.
How do I order the hose, and where do you deliver?
The hose is ordered through Particulair (Karlslunde, Denmark). We deliver to Denmark, the EU and selected third countries such as Norway and Switzerland. Standard dimensions can typically be delivered in 1-2 weeks; custom assemblies and larger volumes require slightly longer lead time.
What is the hose's expected service life?
Service life depends on operating conditions: loading, temperature, chemical exposure, UV and mechanical movement. In standard industrial use, expected life is 3-7 years. Aggressive conditions (high temperatures, continuous flexing, chemical vapours) reduce service life. We recommend regular visual inspection for cracks, deformation or discolouration.
How is the hose best stored before use?
Store the hose dry, at room temperature (15-25 °C) and out of direct sunlight. Avoid contact with ozone-generating equipment (welding equipment, engines). If stored on a reel, the bend must be larger than the specified minimum radius to avoid permanent deformation. Proper storage significantly extends shelf life.
What is the minimum bend radius, and what happens if I go below it?
Minimum bend radius is the smallest radius the hose can be bent to without permanent deformation or internal damage. The table above shows specific values for each dimension. Bending the hose below this limit can collapse the wall, kink the spiral or damage the inner coating. The result is reduced flow, increased pressure loss and shorter service life. Always use bend radius as a design constraint in installation.
Does the hose need to be grounded to function as an ESD component?
Yes, proper grounding is a prerequisite. The antistatic or conductive wall only dissipates static electricity if the hose is connected to ground at both ends — typically via grounded couplings on machine and tank. Without grounding, the electrical property has no practical effect and the ATEX approval is not valid in practice. We always recommend measuring loop resistance after installation.
