Flexible metal hoses

High-performance stainless flexible metal hoses for extreme conditions

Our flexible metal hoses are specifically designed for extreme conditions where conventional rubber or plastic hoses are no longer safe. Typical applications include mechanical engineering, the chemical industry, the oil and gas industry, the automotive industry, and alternative energy systems. Our range includes pressure-rated corrugated metal hoses, as well as hoses designed for high wear and high-temperature service.

Applications of flexible metal hoses

Flexible metal hoses are made from corrugated stainless steel (AISI 316L) with a stainless steel braid (AISI 304), making them suitable for high pressure, vacuum, and extreme temperatures. These metal hoses are used for conveying liquid and gaseous media. Stainless steel, wear- and heat-resistant hoses are designed for high-temperature media such as ash, hot powders, and granulates.

  • Suitable for very low and very high temperatures, including media up to approx. +700 °C
  • Suitable for high pressure and vacuum
  • Corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction (AISI 316L corrugated tube, AISI 304 braid)
  • Available in unbraided and double-braided versions
  • Supplied with fittings and pressure tested; additional certificates are available on request

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose a flexible metal hose instead of a rubber or plastic hose?
open
A metal hose is recommended when the medium temperature, pressure, or vacuum level is so high or so demanding that rubber or plastic hoses are no longer safe (e.g., very hot gases, steam, flue gas, aggressive media). It is also a good choice when fire resistance, gas-tightness, or high mechanical loads (vibration, compensation of thermal expansion) are required.
How long does a flexible metal hose last?
open
The service life of a flexible metal hose cannot be defined as a fixed number of years, because it depends on operating conditions. Key factors include the conveyed medium, temperature, pressure, vacuum, vibration, bending cycles, and the quality of installation.
For this reason, regular inspection of the metal hose is necessary. If deformation, cracking, corrosion, leakage, or any other abnormality occurs, the hose must be replaced.
What information should I provide when requesting a quote?
open
To receive a quote as quickly as possible, it is recommended to provide the key details needed to select the right material: the exact name(s) of the conveyed medium/media and their concentration, operating temperature and pressure, the application details, and the required end fittings.
Can I get help with selection?
open
Yes. Our specialist team has many years of experience and can find a solution for any application. Based on photos and a layout drawing—and the relevant technical parameters—we can provide an accurate quote as part of our expert consultation service, even without an on-site visit.
