If so then you need to see testing in Cl + humid air.
Do they have long term testing?
What about minor impurities?
Honestly I wouldn't change if what you have works. What does your risk assessment tell you about how bad a single accident would be?

These hoses are 100% compliant with the chlorine institute (pamphlet 6) and are needed to connect the railcars to the hard piping. The ends are always capped after connecting and disconnecting railcars to prevent moisture ingress.
I will contact our suppliers for information and referral on suggested hoses.
