Yes, stainless steel braided hoses are superior to rubber hoses. They provide better improved fluid flow, and higher pressure resistance, making them ideal for critical applications such as automotive and industrial systems.
Stainless steel Braided hoses are available in various types, Single-braided hoses are well-suited for low-pressure applications, while double-braided hoses are built to handle high-pressure applications. Close-pitch braided hoses are ideal for hydraulic systems, open-pitch braided hoses are designed for applications requiring high flow rates, ensuring efficient and reliable fluid transmission.
An SS braided hose is a combination of a corrugated stainless-steel core and a stainless-steel braid. The corrugated core provides excellent hoop strength and handles pressure, while the braid offers tensile strength to prevent elongation and ensure durability in high-pressure applications.
The pressure rating of SS braided hose can be defined as diameter, hose thickness, braid design, corrugation shape, end fittings, and temperature.
The bend radius is the minimum radius a hose can bend without compromising its integrity. It determines the hose length required for specific movements and is classified as static (non-moving applications) or dynamic (applications with movement).
Live length refers to the length of the hose between the braid collars. It is crucial for following hose movement and ensures the braid and hose remain securely clamped for welding while providing stress relief at the heat-affected zone.
Braiding restrains the hydrostatic end load on the hose under pressure and prevents it from squirming while maintaining flexibility.
