What Is a Corrugated Metal Hose?
A corrugated metal hose is a flexible tube composed of a corrugated metal pipe surrounded by a braided wire sheath, which can be made from fibers or metal. This construction grants the hose exceptional flexibility, enabling it to bend and stretch in response to variations in pressure, temperature, and mechanical stress. Such capabilities make it invaluable for absorbing vibrations and accommodating thermal expansion.
Widely utilized across a spectrum of fields, including industrial machinery, automotive, construction, medical equipment, plumbing, gas lines, and HVAC systems, corrugated metal hoses offer several benefits. These include ease of installation, a lightweight yet durable structure, and superior heat resistance. The corrugated design allows for versatile application in complex piping systems, while its reinforced braiding ensures strength and reliability under diverse operational conditions.
The hose’s lightness, coupled with its ability to withstand both high and low temperatures.
