The Peter Huber 9610 is a professional-grade insulated metal hose designed for high-precision thermoregulation in laboratory and research environments. Featuring a nominal width of NW12 and standard M16x1 threaded connections, this flexible tubing is engineered to facilitate efficient heat transfer between Huber circulators and external applications. It supports a reliable working temperature range from -50 to 200°C, making it an ideal choice for standard heating and cooling tasks using silicone oils or synthetic thermal fluids. At 200cm (2 meters) in length, it provides the perfect balance of reach and thermal efficiency for most benchtop laboratory setups. The hose is constructed from high-grade 1.4404 stainless steel and features specialized multi-layer insulation protected by a smooth silicone outer jacket and safety end caps.
Key Features:
This insulated metal hose is essential for maintaining temperature stability in external closed systems like refractometers, polarimeters, and small reactors. The integrated silicone cover ensures a "wipe-clean" surface that resists chemical splashes and prevents the formation of condensation or ice during sub-zero operations. Its M16x1 fittings are compatible with Huber's Ministat, KISS, and smaller CC series, providing a vibration-resistant and leak-free connection for long-term laboratory use.
1. Why is the 200cm length a popular choice for labs?
The 2-meter length is considered the "standard" size for most laboratories, as it provides enough slack to route the hose behind equipment or into fume hoods without the excessive heat loss or "dead volume" found in 3-meter hoses.
2. Can I use this hose for low-temperature applications?
Yes, the 9610 is rated down to -50°C. The specialized insulation prevents atmospheric moisture from freezing on the hose's exterior, ensuring that your lab benches stay dry and your cooling power is directed to your application.
3. What does "M16x1" mean for my setup?
M16x1 is a metric thread (16mm diameter, 1mm pitch) common to smaller Huber circulators. Before ordering, verify that your circulator and external application both use M16 threads, or ensure you have the correct Huber adapters.
4. How durable is the silicone outer jacket?
The silicone jacket is highly durable and designed to remain flexible throughout its temperature range. It is resistant to many common laboratory chemicals and oils, though it should be wiped down if a spill occurs to ensure longevity.
5. Is this hose suitable for high-pressure applications?
This specific model is rated for a maximum of 6 bar. For higher pressure requirements or Unistat systems with high-flow pumps, you may need to consider Huber's 350°C series which typically offers a higher pressure rating (up to 16 bar).
