Industrial Metal Hose & Expansion Joints

Metal Hose and Expansion Joints are ideal for the processing of crude oil into fuel products such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel etc. Metal Hose can be used for steam lines, petro transfer, along with the transfer of additives and by-products. For applications that require heat, corrosion, or severity resistance, corrugated Metal Hoses are excellent.

Metal Hose and Expansion Joints can be used for many applications in the Steel Manufacturing Industry, such as for steam lines, spray chamber cooling lines, furnace door cooling lines, tap hole drills, lubrication lines, oxygen lance hose assemblies on BOF’s (basic oxygen furnaces), cut-off torches and gas lines. Metal Hose is ideal here because of the high heat and corrosive gas generated in the manufacture of steel.

The ability to manufacture Corrugated Metal Hose to withstand extreme low temperatures as low as -325°F, makes this hose ideal for LNG and Cryogenics transfer.

Metal Hose is ideal in an industry that uses high amounts of chemicals and steam in manufacturing. Metal Hose is also well suited to handle highly corrosive material by-products produced by the Pulp & Paper Industry

Metal Hose is used in the Marine & Shipbuilding Industries for steam, hydraulic lines, and water to prevent catastrophic failure. Expansion joints and metal bellows are used for the exhaust on a ship’s engines.

Metal Hose and Expansion Joints are used in Nuclear Power Plants for critical & severe service applications. Metal hose and expansion joints are used for fuel delivery lines and steam piping systems by Power Plants and Utilities. Metal Hose is used for high pressure lubrication lines by Steam Turbine Manufacturers and metal expansion joints are used in various piping systems.

In low pressure or vacuum conveying systems Metal Hose is superior due to its abrasion resistance and decreased loading times. Metal hose is advantageous for dilute-phase or dense-phase pressure transfer applications that require higher pressures to transfer materials while decreasing damage to the media. It is ideal for transportation equipment and loading/unloading facilities.

Metal Hose and Expansion Joints can be used for steam lines, dry bulk material handling, dock hoses and chemical transfer in the petrochemical industry.

Chlorine is used in water treatment plants for purification. ChlorSafe™ Hose Assemblies are engineered specifically to meet the stringent demands of this application. ChlorSafe™ assemblies are manufactured in compliance with the Chlorine Institute Pamphlet 6, Appendix A, latest edition and offer several distinct advantages over existing products. The piping systems in Water Treatment Plants also use metal expansion joints.

Metal Hose is ideal in an industry that uses high amounts of chemicals and steam in manufacturing. Metal Hose is also well suited to handle highly corrosive material by-products produced by the Pulp & Paper Industry.

Braided Metal Hose Assemblies and expansion joints share many similar attributes, but it is their differences in construction that determine which is best for a specific application. Braided metal hose assemblies are constructed from flexible, corrugated hose typically formed using a single layer of strip. The number of corrugations per foot dictates the flexibility of the hose, while the outer braid layer provides its pressure bearing capability.
