Detailed Description of Stainless Steel Hoses
QualityFlex Stainless Steel Hoses are crafted to meet the highest standards of quality and performance. The manufacturing process involves the following steps to ensure the durability and reliability of each hose:
Corrugation:
- Annular Corrugation: Annularly corrugated hoses are preferred for their superior technical performance. The parallel corrugations provide flexibility without causing torsion loads, ensuring stable performance under pressure.
- Helical Corrugation: Although less common, helically corrugated hoses are used in specific applications where their design benefits are required.
Braiding:
- Hose Braiding: Braiding increases the pressure resistance of the hose by absorbing longitudinal forces. Stainless steel braids are typically used, but alternative materials like bronze or aramid fibers can be employed for specific applications.
- Double Braiding: For high-pressure applications, double braiding provides additional strength and resistance.
Connection Fittings:
- Variety of Fittings: QualityFlex hoses can be equipped with various fittings, including flanges, threaded connections, and couplings, to suit different application requirements.
- Custom Solutions: Custom fittings and assembly solutions are available to meet unique application needs.
Testing and Quality Assurance:
- Rigorous Testing: Each hose undergoes thorough testing, including pressure and leak tests, to ensure it meets stringent quality standards.
- Certification: QualityFlex hoses are manufactured in compliance with ISO 9001 and other relevant standards, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
