Flexible Metal Hoses
Flexible metal hoses are metallic flexible line elements designed for steam, water, oil, and gas systems where high pressure, temperature, vibration, and mechanical stress are present.
Overview
A metal hose is a flexible metal line element used to safely convey fluids and gases under challenging operating conditions. Depending on design, metal hoses offer high mechanical strength or maximum leak tightness while maintaining flexibility.
Types of Metal Hoses
- Stripwound Hoses: High mechanical strength with excellent tensile and tear resistance
- Corrugated Hoses: Designed for high pressure applications with maximum leak tightness
