Metal hose is a flexible connection element made of stainless steel or other metal materials. It has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, and good flexibility. It is widely used in compensating connections, vibration absorption, sealing and diversion between various equipment and pipeline systems.
✅ Structural composition of metal hose:
A typical metal hose consists of the following three parts:
Bellows body: mostly made of stainless steel, with spiral or annular corrugations, which is the core part of the hose flexibility.
Outer braided mesh (optional): woven with stainless steel wire or steel belt, used to enhance pressure bearing capacity and tensile strength.
Joint flange or threaded joint: standard interface for connecting other pipes or equipment, with various types (flange, clamp, welding, thread, etc.).
? Main features of metal hose:
1. High temperature and high pressure resistance
Stainless steel metal hose can work normally in the range of -196℃ to +600℃, and the pressure resistance can reach several megapascals (MPa) depending on the structure and material, suitable for steam, hot oil, hydraulic system and other working conditions.
2. Strong corrosion resistance
Using 304, 316, 316L, 321 and other stainless steel materials, it can resist the erosion of most acids, alkalis, salts, solvents, corrosive gases and other media, especially suitable for chemical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries.
3. Strong flexibility and compensation ability
