Unit of Measure

General Applications

General Applications

 N/A
  • Brewery suction and discharge.
  • Liquid food and alcoholic beverage suction and discharge, up to 190 proof or 95% alcohol content.
  • Versatile hose for applications requiring superb flexibility and light weight, while still maintaining high strength and durability.
This correction is to rectify the relationship between the unit proof and % alcohol content in the U.S. system. The alcohol content % = 0.5 x Proof. There are discrepancies between proof and % alcohol content as it differs from country to country. Calculations for the U.S. are shown here. EXAMPLE: Proof is a method of measuring the alcohol content of spirits. A spirits' product that has a 40% alcohol content by volume is 80 proof [40 multiplied by 2 = 80].
