​A Metal Hose Assembly consists of a corrugated or stripwound hose as leak proof and pressure-bearing element, hose braiding to absorb longitudinal force due to inner pressure as well as radial support for the hose and connection fittings as an interface to the surroundings. In addition, it is possible to mount a PTFE liner for increasing the chemical stability or for reducing the loss of pressure as well as an outer round wire or a protective hose to protect the metal hose mechanically.
Through their corrugated or stripwound structure, Metal Hose Assembly are flexible and pressure resistant. They are leak proof and pressure resistant. They are leak proof, temperature and corrosion resistant as well as torsionally rigid and are used in the following applications.
◆ For transport of liquids and gases under pressure.
◆ As vacuum pipe
◆ As economic, flexible connection for absorbing movement, heat expansion and/or vibratation
◆ As filling hose.
