Metal hose is widely used in our daily life. Because it has good properties and it performs very well. Besides, you don’t have to worry about any problems during the use. In fact, stainless steel pipe has already become the most popular flexible hoses in the industry. Then next, let me show you the common applications of flexible metal hose pipe.
First, flexible metal hose pipe widely serves in power engineering
Stainless steel hose works in gas turbines, superheater and other parts of power generation equipment. These parts require high temp and corrosion resistance. While flexible steel pipe can work at max 600℃. Besides, it can resist the corrosion from chemical, solvent, etc. Thus metal pipe is the ideal choice for power industry.
Marine and ship building
We know that the sea water is highly corrosive. Thus it will seriously corrode the ship and submarine. Thus the hoses that serve in marine and ship building should be metal hose. Because only flex steel hose can work normally.
Aerospace field
Stainless metal hoses are mainly used in certain parts of aircraft turbine engines. Because these parts require high temp resistance and high strength. While these parts include combustion chamber, turbine blade, main shaft, exhaust system, etc.
Chemical equipment
Stainless steel corrugated pipe is ideal for parts working in highly corrosive media. And the typical usages include container, pipe, valve, pump, heat exchanger, etc.
Automobile
Stainless steel hose mainly serves in exhaust devices of automobile engines. Such as exhaust valve, spark plug, pipe, exhaust purifier, etc. In addition, flexible steel tubing can serve as air brake hose. Compared to rubber brake hose SAE j1401 and SAE j1402, it has a longer service life.
From above we can see flexible metal hose pipe has a wide range of usage. But in fact, the app of metal hose is far more than these. If you want to learn more about metal hose, just consult Orientflex.
