What is a flexible metal hose?
- Corrugated hoses are absolutely leak-tight and are used to convey liquids or gases under pressure or as vacuum lines. They are also referred to as pressure hoses. Their special design achieves both flexibility and pressure resistance.| Product name | Stainless Steel Single Braid Flexible Metal Hose/Pipe with Fitting |
| Material | Stainless Steel 304, 321, 316 and 316L |
| DN | 6-300mm |
| Hose Type | Annular corrugated |
| Application | Water, gas, industrial, steam, chemical |
| Braided Mesh | Single / Double layer |
| Connect Type | Flange/Thread/Quick coupling |
| Connector approval | Loose or fixed flange |
| Braided mesh layer | single or double-layer braiding |
Construction of Flexible Metal Hose

Benefits of Flexible Metal Hose
•All metal hose - corrugated stainless steel core, sold standalone or with braided steel layers
•Pressure tolerances include full vacuum to those listed in the spec table below
•Application Temperature ratings from Cryogenic to 1500° F
•Meets or exceeds ISO 10380 at the maximum working pressure
Braids
Metal wire braid on a hose assembly provides the hose assembly a higher pressure capability by acting as a restraint against hose elongation and acts to dampen vibration. The second layer of braid may increase pressure ratings if the test pressure is not exceeded.
Applications:
This hose is suitable for conveying all types of liquid and gases with extremely low and high-temperature requirements-corrugated Stainless Steel Braided Pressure Hose, to ISO 10380 specification.
