Stainless Steel Braided Hoses

Stainless Steel Braided Hoses

Quality Flex is a leading manufacturer and exporter of stainless steel braided hoses in India. Our SS Flexible hose is made from stainless steel with angular corrugation that makes the hose extremely flexible by using grades of SS 304 and SS 316 conforming to BS 6501, Part-1: 2004 / ISO 10380: 2012 international standards. SS braided hoses are resistant to corrosion, chemical abrasion and compression. Stainless Steel braided hoses are manufactured by the latest well-equipped CNC machinery and modern techniques like cutting and bending and for any other structural flaws by our highly qualified experts.

SS braided hose is light weight due to the corrugated design structure. It is extremely flexible and has a wide operating temperature range from high and low temperature resistance (-200°C to +650°C). We offer stainless steel braided hoses with end fittings as per business needs such as threaded (NPT and BSP Threaded Fittings), Camlock Couplings, Quick Release Couplings, Fixed and Fixed Male (Hexagon), Full Male Union, Threaded Pipe End, Rotating Flange With Stub End, Female Union Nut/ Nipple, 90° FemaleSwivel Elbow etc. We provide a layer of braiding for the stainless steel hose to be able to handle high pressure to increase the life of the hose.

    Stainless Steel Braiding of Hose

    When pressure is applied on the stainless steel flexible hose, unbraided corrugated hoses tend to elongate and expand above a certain level. To make it more flexible, an external layer of stainless steel wire braiding is provided on the hose. Braiding prevents longitudinal expansion of corrugated hose and thus increases the internal pressure and strengthens the hose many fold. Braiding is highly flexible and exactly follows the movements of the hose.

    To increase the pressure ratings further, two or even three layers of braiding are provided. Unless specified, braiding is normally manufactured in high tensile stainless steel AISI 304 wire, or stainless steel AISI 316 as per client’s requirements.
