What Type Of Hose Should I Use?

Don't you think maybe you should check with a more authoritative (and answerable) body than an anonymous internet forum? Please tell us that this application is far, far away from any living things when in operation (and be prepared for some structural damage).

Is this a drip tank,

sorry was a drip tank?

No one on this forum with a conscience should touch this with a 10-meter cattle prod! You need to consult a reputable hose manufacturer who is willing to assume liability for their answer.

So what you are saying is that only those of us who have no conscience and an overall lack of concern for dumb people doing things that may prove self elimination can reply?

Well I will have you know that I firmly believe stupidity is ultimately a self eliminating disease! Either the carrier learns form their stupid mistakes and doesn't do them any more or they die from them and thusly eliminate their stupidity as well.

As far as my advice the OP and uis hose I recomend he use one that long enough!

There nothing worse than buying a good hose only to find out you got one that's just a bit too short for the job.

You have a point about Darwinian selection, but it would be kind of sad if a lot of innocents get carried along as collateral damage.

The problem with that philosophy is that their stupidity has a tendency to take the lives of many innocents with them!

Really, no one with even a lick of interest in self preservation should be touching a nitroglycerin container with a cattle prod....even a 10 meter cattle prod.

Hey!! I'm awake for at least half the work day.

Do not use a positive displacement pump for transferring!

The chemistry of the hose should be the least of your worries. There are so very many other tools, materials and other concerns that if you have to ask about the hose then you should not be working at all with nitroglycerin. Even if this is only in medication volumes.

This reminds of the movie The Wages of Fear

Best to talk with a hose manufacturer due to the extremely dangerous nature of the subject. The fact you are asking an online forum suggests lack of knowledge regarding the hose selection may only be one of your problems (due to the subject in question I am erring on the side of caution in this case and assuming the levels are high enough to potentially explode).

I think this is THE most dangerous question every asked on CR4. Ever.

A nitroglycerin transfer hose.

But honestly. I'd think the valves, pressure, rate of transfer etc. Would be more of the issue.

I'm only guessing that a 2" hose transferring 1gph by gravity to a side by side tank would be different than a 1/4" line under high pressure pumped a long distance.

That does bring up an interesting question to my warped mind.

How does one safely pour ten liters of nitroglycerin into an active volcano?

With the right hose of course!

You also need to find a hoser to do the job

From a helicopter at 5000'.

How's about stopping what you're doing (NOW), sitting down with a fresh cup of coffee, pad & pen, and reconsidering your career options - one not involving your being reduced to a cloud of vapour tossed to the Four Winds?

Sound like a plan? Surely your paycheck isn't worth the risk of what you're doing now.

Maybe the OP has a server case of Anal fissures, a tube of nitroglycerine isn't enough so he's going all out using a tank full of Nitro and needs to know which type of hose to use for his enema? He does seem to be pretty cracked, huh?

Freckle fracking.

Yup!

What type of hose? Easy.

A looooooooooooong one!

From the stupid replies it looks like he is dealing with school kids.

Nitroglycerin is a vasodilator, a medicine that opens blood vessels to improve blood flow. It is used to treat angina symptoms.

You need a medical grade tubing if this is indeed for medicinal purposes. Antibacterial.

An apprenticeship in a dynamite factory might be a good way to learn about safe handling of nitroglycerin. (Or not .)

Temperature extremes should be easily avoidable, but shocks or any sudden movements may take special care to prevent. Use smooth bends rather than sharp elbows in piping, for instance. Use only slow-closing valves to avoid hydraulic hammer. Don't let the fluid splash or fall into containers; introduce it tangentially to surfaces. Etc. etc.

Discuss all of this with entities that handle nitro on a regular basis. Seek out any published standards for such operations. This is a specialty, and there are people who know how to do it.

Thank you papasan, and you reply is?

I see why that was anonymous.

search nitroglycerine chemical compatibility and look at Harris Plastics.

Where is Lyn when we need him? I'm CERTAIN all of us would welcome Lyn's usual acerbic answer to a question this (unquestionably) stupid! Even if the question IS about medicinal quantities of medicinal Nitro, it is still a stupid question, if only because it is about such a small set of options, WITHIN such a dangerously WIDE set of circumstances, that it begs to be answered with "Gallows Humor", absent any initial clarifiers.

So, Anonymous Poster, you stupid internet troll, you, grow a spine, or get lost. And, Syagmur, please recognize that we don't intentionally antagonize posters who are clearly serious and thoughtful about their posts, we don't intentionally antagonize those whose first language may not immediately add clarity to thinking and expression in what is undoubtedly OUR first (and at least in my case, only) language, and we ARE interested in helping to solve, or at least suggest solutions to, intriguing engineering questions. But we won't touch what looks like a solution to a problem which either a)doesn't even bother to consider important issues of public liability and endangerment, or b)aids terrorist or terroristic behaviour.

So, restate, or not. But don't bother to "unload" on us. We've been unloaded on by bosses who had the ability, or thought they did, to fire us for not giving intelligent answers to stupid questions. And most of us are retired, and ALL of us are volunteers. So, do your worst. Or not. But restating might get you a useful answer. Unloading won't.

Note, I know you didn't unload. Just saying, don't bother, is all.

I gave this five stars as it is the most ridiculous thread we’ve had for a long time.

A building supported by an asteroid might compete for this weeks ridiculous award.

polyethylene-lined tubing...

What happened to OP (AP#1) syagmur?

Problem solved,
