This is the most common type of flexible metal hose. The walls are folded into a series of "waves" (corrugations) to provide flexibility and pressure tightness.
These are manufactured by winding a profiled metal strip over a mandrel and locking the edges together. They are not airtight on their own and are often used as protective sleeves or for bulk material handling.
Standard corrugated hoses can expand or elongate under pressure. To prevent this, a wire braid is woven over the exterior.
The vibration absorber acts as a "soft" break in the rigid line. The corrugations in the metal hose absorb the kinetic energy of the vibration, dissipating it before it can travel further down the piping system.
Flexible Connectors are the specialized, engineered assemblies used to bridge the gap between a vibrating piece of equipment and rigid piping.
Offset Motion occurs when one end of the hose assembly is deflected in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis with the ends remaining parallel.
Every product undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it survives the most demanding industrial cycles.
