304 stainless steel metal hose with outer braided layer

   Flexible metal hose is a high-performance, durable flexible piping component widely adopted in industrial fluid transmission, mechanical equipment connection, vibration isolation, and pipeline compensation systems. It is professionally engineered to solve common pipeline problems including thermal expansion and contraction, installation misalignment, mechanical vibration, pipeline displacement, and rigid connection stress concentration. Compared with traditional rubber hoses and rigid steel pipes, metal hoses deliver superior mechanical strength, extreme temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, pressure resistance, and long service life, making them a reliable solution for harsh and complex working conditions.

   The complete metal hose assembly consists of three core structural parts: inner corrugated metal tube, outer multi-layer steel wire braided sleeve, and precision-machined end fittings. Each structural layer performs independent and complementary functions to ensure overall stability and safety. The inner corrugated tube is manufactured through precision hydraulic or mechanical forming, forming continuous annular or spiral wave structures. This special wave structure endows the hose with excellent softness, bending performance, and axial telescopic capacity, allowing free bending, stretching, twisting, and angle adjustment without deformation, cracking, or medium leakage. It can effectively compensate multidimensional displacement generated by pipeline thermal deformation, foundation settlement, and equipment operation deviation.

   The outer steel wire braided layer serves as the main pressure-bearing and protective structure. Single-layer, double-layer, and multi-layer braided structures are available according to different pressure grades.       The high-density stainless steel wire braid tightly covers the corrugated tube surface, greatly improving the hose’s pressure resistance, tensile strength, and impact resistance. It effectively restricts excessive expansion of the inner tube under high pressure, prevents tube body bulging and burst failure, and protects the corrugated layer from external friction, collision, and mechanical damage. Meanwhile, the braided structure enhances the overall structural stability, avoiding distortion and failure during frequent bending and displacement cycles.

   The end connectors are precisely forged and machined, featuring high dimensional accuracy, good sealing performance, and strong structural rigidity. Multiple connection types are fully optional, including thread connection, flange connection, quick clamp connection, welding end, and custom special joints. All joints adopt precision welding and sealing technology to ensure zero leakage under long-term high-pressure and high-temperature operation. The integrated welding process eliminates the risk of loose connection and medium seepage caused by traditional assembly structures, improving the overall safety and stability of the pipeline system.

   Standard raw materials include high-quality stainless steel 304 and 316L, with optional 310S, 201 stainless steel, carbon steel, and copper materials for customized working conditions. 304 stainless steel provides excellent general corrosion resistance and mechanical performance for conventional industrial environments. 316L ultra-low carbon stainless steel offers stronger acid and alkali resistance, anti-oxidation performance, and high-temperature stability, perfectly suitable for chemical, marine, salt fog, and strong corrosive medium environments. All materials comply with international industrial standards, featuring stable chemical properties, no rust, no medium contamination, and excellent durability.

   The product boasts outstanding comprehensive performance indicators. It supports ultra-wide temperature adaptation, stably working within the temperature range from -196℃ low temperature to 600℃ high temperature, adapting to ultra-low temperature liquefied gas delivery, high-temperature steam, hot oil, and high-temperature flue gas pipeline systems. It features excellent pressure resistance, with conventional working pressure ranging from PN0.6MPa to PN32MPa, and customized high-pressure models reaching up to 42MPa, fully meeting low, medium, and high-pressure industrial pipeline requirements. In addition, the metal hose has excellent vibration damping and noise reduction functions, which can isolate vibration transmission between equipment and pipelines, reduce pipeline resonance noise, and protect pumps, valves, instruments, and precision equipment from vibration damage.

    In terms of safety and environmental performance, flexible metal hoses are flame-retardant, explosion-proof, high-temperature resistant, and aging-resistant, with no aging, deterioration, or cracking problems existing in rubber and plastic hoses. They have good air tightness and pressure tightness, suitable for flammable, explosive, volatile, and high-purity medium transmission. The all-metal structure features strong tensile and anti-torsion capacity, resisting pipeline breakage and medium leakage risks caused by pulling and twisting during equipment operation. The product has a long service life, stable performance after thousands of bending and displacement cycles, and low later maintenance cost.

   Flexible metal hoses are widely applicable in multiple industries and scenarios. In chemical and petrochemical industries, they are used for conveying corrosive liquids, chemical solvents, steam, and oil products. In power, thermal power, and new energy industries, they adapt to high-temperature steam pipelines, equipment vibration isolation, and thermal displacement compensation. In machinery, engineering equipment, and hydraulic systems, they serve as flexible connecting pipelines for pumps, motors, compressors, and hydraulic components. In urban gas, heating, and HVAC systems, they ensure safe and flexible connection of gas and heating pipelines. In marine, shipbuilding, and offshore engineering, they resist marine salt fog corrosion and alternating vibration working conditions. In addition, special-process metal hoses such as PVC-coated metal hoses and interlocked metal conduits are widely used for cable protection, instrumentation line protection, and building electrical wiring projects, providing wear-resistant, anti-rodent, anti-interference, and waterproof protection for wires and cables.

   We support full-size customization, including customized diameter, length, bending radius, pressure grade, connection mode, surface treatment, and special medium adaptation. All products undergo strict pressure testing, air tightness testing, bending cycle testing, and appearance inspection before delivery to ensure stable quality and compliant performance. With reliable structure, superior performance, wide adaptability, and long service life, our flexible metal hoses have become the preferred flexible pipeline solution for industrial pipeline transformation, equipment supporting, and engineering construction.
