Spring Protected Flexible Metal Hose What Is
WHAT IS A SPRING-PROTECTED FLEXIBLE METAL HOSE?
The spring-protected flexible metal hose is a type of hose with an inner flexible hose made of stainless steel and an outer surface reinforced with a steel spiral spring. This structure protects the hose against mechanical stresses such as external impacts, crushing, and excessive bending.
Technical Definition of Spring-Protected Flexible Metal Hose:
The spring-protected flexible metal hose consists of an inner hose and outer braid made of stainless steel. Depending on their areas of use, a spring protection made of stainless steel can be mounted on them. This protection makes the hose more resistant to external factors.
What is the Purpose of the Spring Protection?
The spring protection preserves the bending radius of the hose, prevents breakage, protects against external effects such as crushing and impacts. It prevents hose deformation and increases system safety.
