If the hose will be exposed to aggressive chemicals (either internally or externally), metal hose should be considered. Stainless steel exhibits good resistance to many common chemicals and special alloys may be used for added corrosion resistance. Braided hoses can last for many years with proper care and maintenance. It should be changed every five to eight years, though you may only need to change them when replacing an appliance.
It is widely use in systems that runsteam, water, gas, chemicals, and petroleum products. In a high heat, corrosive environment where fluids have to be delivered at elevated temperatures and pressures, metal hoses are the preferred solution as they possess high physical strength, good corrosion characteristics and ease of installation. In piping systems, Braided flexible metal hoses can be utilized as an Expansion Loop to absorb movement caused by thermal expansion and contraction, while saving space at the same time.

Braided flexible metal hoses are also widely used in mechanical equipment such as engines, pumps, compressors etc. They are meant to control vibration, reduce noise, relieve stress, prevent system shock and compensate for misalignment and movement.

We can supply flexible & durable ISO standard hose assemblies & end fittings for varied industries.
