When a flexible metal hose assembly is required, let Flex-Weld, Inc. be your supplier of
choice.
Our flexible metal hose offers high strength, resistance to high and low temperature extremes
and superior corrosive resistance in a variety of harsh media. Our hoses are designed to
absorb vibration, correct for misaligned piping, and couple moving parts, machinery and/or equipment.
Flexible metal hoses provide the added benefit of reducing stress and strain associated with
critical equipment and/or piping.
At Flex-Weld, Inc., our hoses are manufactured from thin gauge metal coils that feed into tooling
and result in a precision welded tube form. The welded tube is then inserted through corrugators
producing a metal hose with maximum flexibility. A secondary proprietary operation sets the final
configuration and optimizes fatigue life. Our hoses can be supplied in a wide range of diameters
from 1/4” through 16” and alloys including: Bronze, Stainless Steel, Monel, and Inconel.
We also offer a reinforcing outer woven metal wire braid to the corrugated hose to increase the
pressure carrying capacity of the overall assembly. The braid slips tightly over the hose and is
welded securely to the ends of the hose. Additionally, the outer braid protects the inner hose from
abrasion and helps to dampen vibration. If additional protection is required, an outer interlocked
hose can be added as an external guard to protect the braid and hose elements. Typically, alloys
used for braiding are similar to the underlying hose but, can differ for each application. Each size of
hose has a maximum pressure rating dependent on single braiding or double braiding. |
