Stainless Steel Flexible Corrugated Hose

Type A (annular) flexible hoses are made by corrugating thin-walled stainless steel pipes. They are high-quality flexible hoses exposed to complete solution heat treatment. The corrugations are formed like individual rings which are not twisted under high pressure.

The hoses are highly flexible and have excellent strength, corrosion resistance and pressure resistance.

Braiding Process
To give corrugated hose the ability to withstand pressure, stainless steel wire is braided over the hose. Hoses may be single braided (one layer of braid) or double braided (two layers of braid) to achieve even greater working pressures. Braided braid is used on large-diameter hose.

Designing the proper braid for each type of corrugated hose requires sophisticated engineering to maintain the proper balance between the braid strength and the hose's flexibility. Hose Master's braid packages offer several advantages :
High Percentage Braid Coverage - Hose Master flexible hose has the highest percentage of braid coverage, yielding better cycle life and protection against damage to the hose.
Machine Braided Hose - Hose Master weaves the braid directly onto the hose, ensuring that the braid fits tightly against the hose, preventing potential hose deformation or squirm. Machine braided hose also offers repeatable performance and longer cycle life.
