Flexible Hose / Stripwound Hose
Primary Application
-
Exhaust & Ventilation: Ideal for engine exhaust systems, high-temperature gas venting, and fume extraction.
-
Bulk Material Handling: Suitable for the suction and gravity transit of dry solids, plastic beads, grain, flour, and other abrasive bulk materials.
-
Fluid & Viscous Media Transfer: Used for conveying fluids, tar, hot bitumen, and asphalt.
-
Protection: Excellent for heavy-duty cable armouring and protective electrical conduits.
Structure & Specifications
-
Hose Type: Interlock hose – Round section double overlap configuration (Constructed by helically winding a profiled metal strip where adjacent turns interlock with each other).
-
Hose Material: Stainless Steel (Offers superior mechanical strength, heat resistance, and environmental durability).
-
Packing Material: Copper wire/fiber packing (Interlocked within the profile seams to minimize leakage and enhance pressure/suction stability).
-
Movement: Accommodates both axial (longitudinal) and bending movements.
-
Size Range: 3/4″ to 12″
-
Brand: Amnitec (United Kingdom)
Operating Temperature Or Condition
(Not specified, but inherently highly resistant to elevated temperatures due to the all-metal stainless steel and copper construction)
Key Features & Benefits
-
High Mechanical Strength: The double-overlap interlock structure provides robust crush resistance and structural integrity against external impacts and heavy-duty usage.
-
Flexible Movement: Allows smooth bending and controlled axial shifting without losing its cross-sectional profile, protecting against kinks or collapsing.
-
Abrasion Resistance: The smooth interior profile of the interlocked steel minimizes friction and wear when transferring abrasive grains, pellets, or powders.
Certifications & Standards
-
Manufactured and verified in accordance with the international standard: BS EN ISO 15465:2004 (Piping – Stripwound metal hoses and hose assemblies)
