Description

In order to understand flexible metal hose assemblies and how they serve various applications its best to review their anatomy. In its simplest form, a metal hose is made of four basic components:

• Corrugated tubing
• Braid
• Braid collars
• End-fittings

Separately, these parts are really quite simple. However, they can be customized to form a variety of configurations, enabling flexible metal hoses to be an optimal solution in a number of industries.  Lets examine each of these components individually and discuss how they all work together to create value.

Structure:
Hose material: SUS**4/SUS**6L/SUS**1
Braid material: SUS**4/SS**6
Connection material: SUS**4/SUS**6L/carbon steel
Connection type:
A: Loose flange on one end and fixed flange on the other end
B: Loose flanges on both ends
C: Fixed flanges on both ends
Feature:
Flange connection flexible metal hose has excellent flexibility, fatigue resistance,
high and low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance. Comparing to other
hose (rubber hose, plastic hose), flexible metal hose owns longer service life. With
the development of modern industry, flexible metal hose has a wider and wider
application range.
Application:
The application area of flange connection flexible metal hose covers aviation, aerospace, petroleum, chemical engineering, metallurgy, electric power, papermaking, wood, spinning, construction, medicine, food, tobacco, transportation
industries, as well as in wiring protection of railway, engine, air-condition, all kinds
of machinery, automatic control equipment, electricity generation, power
transmission and etc.
