Metallic Hose
STAINLESS STEEL CORRUGATED FLEXIBLE HOSES
Hose Braid Assemblies Stainless steel corrugated flexible hoses are offered from 6mm (1/4’) to 300 mm (12’). The annular corrugated hose body provides the flexibility and pressure tight core of the assembly.

Braid
Unbraided corrugated hoses tend to elongate when pressurised above a certain level. To restrain this, an external layer of stainless steel wire braiding is provided on the hose. Braiding prevents longitudinal expansion of corrugated hose and thus increases the internal pressure strengthen of the hose many fold. Braiding is highly flexible and exactly follows the movements of the hose. To increase the pressure ratings further, two or even three layers of braiding are provided. Unless specified, braiding in high tensile stainless steel AISI 304 wire, will be supplied braiding can also be supplied in copper. Tinned copper or stainless steel AISI 316 in case of bulk requirements.
Assemblies
Mahantam hose assemblies are engineered to perfection in flexibility, strength and reliability. Mahantam industries can provide a corrugated stainless steel hose assembly that will meet your most demanding technical specification. We can supply the hose complete with any all types of end connections in various types of materials. The end connections are tig welded to hose.
HOSE ASSEMBLIES CAN BE SUPPLIED UNDER ANY THIRD PARTY INSPECTION.
Flow velocity
Corrugated metal flexible hoses have limitations in case of fluids with high flow velocities. As the high velocity causes resonant vibrations, resulting in premature failures. Whenever flow velocity exceeds 50 m/sec for gas and 25 m/sec for liquids, an interlock hose liner should be used in the hose assemblies. The above flow velocity o values get reduced to 50% for 90 bends and 25% for o 45 bends.
Advantages of Flexible Metal
- Suitable for wide temperature range (-270°C to 700°C)
- Compensates for thermal expansion contraction in the piping system
- High physical strength
- Fire resistant
- Moisture resistant
- Moisture resistant
- Good corrosion characteristics
- Resistant to abrasion, penetration and damage
- Connects misaligned rigid piping absorbs or dampens vibration and similar equipments.
- A flexible and quick option for rigid piping in difficult locations
