SS Braided Hose Pipe
SS Braided Hose Pipe
An SS braided hose pipe is a flexible metal hose that consists of a stainless steel (SS) braided outer cover and a flexible inner hose. These hoses are used for a wide range of applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, petrochemical, pharmaceuticals, and many others. The stainless steel braiding provides reinforcement and protection to the inner hose, making it suitable for applications involving high pressure, extreme temperatures, and corrosive environments.
Key Features:
Stainless Steel Braiding: The outer layer of the hose consists of tightly woven stainless steel wires, which provides several important functions:
- Reinforcement: The braiding adds strength to the hose, allowing it to withstand high internal pressures and prevent bursting.
- Flexibility: While stainless steel is a rigid material, the braiding is designed to be flexible, allowing the hose to bend and adapt to various installation requirements.
- Protection: The stainless steel braid protects the inner hose from mechanical damage, abrasion, and external environmental factors.
- Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for use in aggressive or corrosive environments.
Inner Hose: The inner hose can be made from various materials, depending on the application. Common materials include rubber, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), or other polymers. The choice of material is based on factors such as the type of fluid being conveyed and the operating conditions.
High Pressure and Temperature Resistance: SS braided hose pipes are designed to handle both high pressures and a wide range of temperatures, making them suitable for applications in extreme conditions.
Versatility: They are used in a wide range of applications, including hydraulic systems, steam lines, chemical transfer, cryogenic applications, and more.
Connectors: SS braided hose pipes typically have connectors or end fittings made of stainless steel or other materials. These connectors allow for easy attachment to other components or systems.
Applications:
Hydraulic Systems: SS braided hose pipes are used in hydraulic systems to transport hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
Steam Transfer: They are suitable for conveying steam and hot water in various industrial processes.
Chemical Transfer: These hoses are used in the chemical industry to transport corrosive chemicals and acids.
Cryogenic Applications: In applications involving extremely low temperatures, such as in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry.
Automotive Industry: They are used in automotive applications for fuel and brake systems, as well as for applications that require high-temperature resistance.
Aerospace: In aircraft and spacecraft for applications such as fuel lines and hydraulic systems.
Petrochemical Industry: For conveying various fluids in the petrochemical and oil and gas industries.
