ENETAF SANE metal flexible hoses are kinds of flexible joints made of stainless steel which are applied with the purpose of eliminating vibrations generally on non-planar piping paths.Furthermore, they are useable in misaligned piping. They have upper most level of flexibility and pressure , internal corrosion and external abrasion resistance . Flexible hoses are made of a bellows as well as one or more layers of braids. The metal flexible hose can be welded , flange type , male threaded and union nut type
Flexible hoses are made of a thin stainless steel band formed as a tube , seamed by longitudinal welding and finally corrugated with convoluted profiles . It means that each corrugation is perpendicular to the pipe centerline and its movement is independent from other corrugations . We call them low pitch when corrugations are positioned too close to each other and high pitch when they are a little bit farther from each other
Under the previous title, we stated that the word of quality does not have the same meaning with qualified as we use in daily life and it is rather related to the elements contained in the metal itself. In other words, it refers to material types which come into existence when the elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, etc. in the raw material are available in varying ratios.
The end pieces of flexible hose fittings such as nipple, coupling/sleeve (usage with union nut), nut, etc. can be manufactured from materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, chrome coated, brass, chrome coated brass, etc. in conformity with TS EN standards as desired or stipulated by the standard. In the nonstandard application, the right material selection by user/manufacturer is important such as in the hose.
If it is going to be dispatched immediately after coiling and packing, then the “hose” becomes a product, e.g. solar flex hoses. On the other hand, if it is going to be delivered as a “ flexible hose assembly” it must pass through at least one of the stations mentioned below. During these processes, the semi-finished products are subjected to one or several leakage tests. In other words, each product will have been tested at least times in total without any exceptions.
