Non-braided corrugated hoses tend to elongate when pressurized above a certain level. To prevent this, an outer layer of stainless steel wire braid is added to the hose, which prevents longitudinal expansion and increases the internal pressure resistance of the hose.

Stainless steel braided hose is usually wrapped around an existing tube and provides excellent flexibility due to the tube system, which allows it to act like a spring. The hose will recover its original shape when the pressure acting on it is removed, if the hose is bent beyond the recommended bend radius the hose will no longer recover its original shape and will take the shape to which it was subjected.

ADVANTAGES

• Higher internal pressure capacity: These hoses can be used for exceptionally low and extremely high temperatures. They also have an excellent range of chemical compatibility, resistant to high pressure.
• Vibration reduction: These hoses reduce vibrations in pipelines without affecting flexibility. It also prevents hose elongation.
• Full vacuum: Corrugated stainless steel hose with mesh is rated for full vacuum and high pressures.
• Abrasion resistant: These steel braided hoses offer high resistance to all abrasions.

INDUSTRIES AND AREAS OF APPLICATION

• Refineries, steel mills, paper mills, fertilizer and pharmaceutical industries.
• Lubrication systems; steam, hot water, pneumatic services and vacuum systems.
• Railroads, ports and shipyards, cryogenic service, air conditioning and refrigeration.
• Absorption, piping, boilers and vibration.

* They can be assembled with any end connection, either TIG welded, brazed or soldered.
