There are many uses for corrugated hoses. They can be used to transport chemicals and gases, steam, and other fluids. They can also be used for applications that require them to withstand vibration, movement, and thermal expansion. Corrugated hoses can be manufactured in a variety of different materials.
Corrugated hoses must be strong enough to support the pipe's weight. The proper hose material is selected based on the operating conditions of the equipment and the piping system. When selecting the right metal, it is important to consider the corrosive qualities of the media. Unacceptable corrosion rates can be caused by hoses that are too thin.
Vacuum paths can also be made from corrugated hoses. Their flexible properties allow them to absorb vibration and thermal expansion. They can withstand pressure surges and reduce the chance of pipe misalignment due to their corrugations. These hoses can be made from bronze, 300-series stainless, Inconel, and Monel. They are also ideal for carrying liquids under pressure.
For applications that require flexibility and safety, corrugated hoses can be a great choice. They come in many sizes and can be tailored to your specific needs. They are used in flexible exhaust equipment, electric lines, and miniature pipes.
