1. The core role of stainless steel corrugated hose
Stainless steel corrugated hose is a flexible pipe made of stainless steel. Its surface is corrugated and has three core functions: connection, transmission and protection. It can achieve reliable connection between different equipment and components in complex environments, effectively transmit liquids, gases and other media, and protect the internal media from the external environment. Compared with traditional rigid pipes, the corrugated structure gives it excellent flexibility and vibration resistance, making it an ideal choice for solving pipeline connection problems.
2. Advantages of stainless steel corrugated hose
Excellent durability: Made of 304 or 316 stainless steel, it has strong corrosion resistance and a service life of more than 10 years, far exceeding most plastic hoses on the market.
Excellent flexibility: The unique corrugated design enables it to be easily bent, with a minimum bending radius of 2-3 times the pipe diameter, adapting to various complex installation environments.
Strong pressure bearing capacity: The working pressure range is wide, and it can withstand a maximum pressure of more than 40Bar, meeting the needs of most industrial applications.
Strong temperature adaptability: It can work stably in the extreme temperature range of -50℃ to 400℃, and will not deform or age due to temperature changes.
Safe and environmentally friendly: Stainless steel is non-toxic and harmless, and will not produce harmful substances such as plasticizers, and meets food-grade and medical-grade application standards.
3. Unique characteristics of stainless steel corrugated hoses
The corrugated structure of stainless steel corrugated hoses is not only an appearance feature, but also the source of its performance advantages. This design greatly increases the surface area of the pipe, giving it a higher strength-to-weight ratio at the same volume. At the same time, the "spring effect" formed by the corrugation gives the hose excellent fatigue resistance, and it can withstand high-frequency bending deformation without being easily damaged.
Another notable feature is the diversity of its connection methods. Stainless steel corrugated hoses can be connected by flange, quick connector or welding, etc., to meet the needs of different application scenarios. Some high-end products are also equipped with shockproof and anti-pull-off designs, which further improves the safety of use.
4. Display of wide application fields
Household field: gas stove connection, water inlet and outlet of water heater, water purification system, etc., replacing traditional rubber hoses, greatly improving safety.
Industrial field: fluid delivery systems in petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food processing and other industries, especially those requiring corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.
Architectural field: connecting pipes of central air-conditioning system, fire sprinkler system, and floor heating system to solve the pipeline stress problem caused by building settlement.
Transportation field: fuel pipelines and hydraulic systems of automobiles, ships, and aircraft, taking advantage of their lightweight and vibration-resistant characteristics.
Medical field: high-purity gas delivery and medical equipment connection to meet the special requirements of sterility and pollution-free.
5. Purchase and use suggestions
When choosing a stainless steel corrugated hose, the following factors should be considered according to the specific application scenario:
Material grade (304 or 316 stainless steel)
Working pressure range
Temperature range
Interface type and size
Whether special functions such as anti-static and flame retardant are required
When installing and using, please note:
- Avoid excessive bending to cause metal fatigue
- Check the sealing of the interface regularly
- Keep away from sharp objects to prevent surface scratches
- Consider additional protective measures when using in extreme environments
