What is Stainless Flexible Hose?

Stainless flexible hoses; They are structural elements that are manufactured in a flexible structure and offer high strength and safety. Its inner layer is usually composed of materials with high chemical resistance, such as stainless steel or PTFE (Teflon), and the outside is reinforced with stainless steel braid. This combination ensures long-lasting performance, even in demanding industrial conditions. (Hidroman)

Stainless flexible hoses are not just a fitting; it's a critical engineering solution that enhances system efficiency. It is preferred in a wide range of applications, from power plants to HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems. (Hidroman)

Technical Advantages of Stainless Flexible Hoses

High Strength & Wide Working Range

These hoses; It can safely operate in a wide temperature range of -270°C to +600°C and withstand high temperature and pressure conditions. This feature is indispensable in steam lines, hot oil circuits, and energy processes. (Hidroman)

Corrosion Resistance and Longevity

Thanks to its stainless steel construction, aggressive chemical environments, moisture and corrosion do not affect the performance of the hoses. This reduces maintenance costs and improves system reliability. (Hidroman)

Flexibility & Ease of Installation

It offers flexibility in system design by providing ease of installation in tight spaces. It extends system life by reducing vibration and mechanical stress. (Hidroman)

100% Sealing

With modern production techniques, Hidroman stainless flexible hoses are produced to a high sealing standard. This is critical for system safety and environmental cleanliness. (Hidroman)

Uses

Stainless flexible hoses are widely used in the following industries and applications: (Hidroman)

Industrial Facilities: Chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and process lines
Energy Sector: Steam and heat transfer systems
HVAC Systems: Fan-coil and radiator connections
Food & Beverage: In production lines that require hygiene
Marine & Automotive: Exhaust and cooling lines

This variety of uses shows how critical stainless flexible hoses are.

The Right Choice: Project-Specific Solutions

When selecting a hose, the following criteria play critical roles for success:

Diameter and Length: It should be selected according to the system flow rate
Pressure & Temperature Levels: Operating conditions should be considered
Connection Type: Flange, threaded, or suitable for special adapters

Wrong choices; leakage can lead to performance degradation and an increase in maintenance costs. For this reason, engineering evaluation should be carried out with expert staff. (Hidroman)

Reliable System with Hidroman

As Hidroman, we produce each of the stainless flexible hoses by passing them through test processes. Our products are optimized for system safety and efficiency. Choosing the right hose not only ensures connection but also contributes to the long-lasting operation of the system.

Stainless Flexible Hose – Technical Drawing Description

Technical drawings of stainless flexible hoses are not only the dimensions of the product; It contains critical data that defines its mechanical strength, installation suitability and operational safety. Below are the main components and their descriptions in a typical Hidroman stainless flexible hose technical drawing.

Inner Hose (Corrugated Stainless Steel Hose)

Material: AISI 304 / AISI 316L Stainless Steel
Structure: Spiral or ringed (corrugated) form
Task:

Safe transmission of fluid
Absorb axial, angular and radial movements by providing flexibility

The corrugated structure allows the hose to operate under pressure without changing shape and to perform its vibration damping task.

Outer Braid (Stainless Steel Braid)

Material: Stainless steel wire mesh
Function:

Strengthening the inner hose against pressure
Eliminating the risk of elongation of the hose

Single or double layer mesh is clearly indicated in the technical drawing according to the working pressure.

Nominal Diameter (DN/Inch)

DN (Nominal Diameter): Determines the flow capacity
Inner Diameter (ID): It is a critical parameter for flow calculation
Outer Diameter (OD): Used for mounting space and clamp distances

In the technical drawing, all diameter measurements are shown with their tolerances in mm or inches.

Total Length (L)

L = Free LengthIt is the natural length of the hose before installation.

The height measurement indicated in the technical drawings is the value measured without applying tension. Pulling the hose during assembly seriously shortens its service life.

End Fittings

The type of connection and the standard of dimensions are necessarily specified in the technical drawing:

Threaded Connections:

BSP, NPT, METRIC

Flanged Connections:

RELIGION, ANSI, JIS

Custom Links:

Weld neck, male-to-female adapter designs

Each connection end:

Tooth pitch
Flange diameter
Number of holes
The sealing surface is individually measured on the drawing.

Minimum Bend Radius (Min. Bend Radius)

It is the smallest radius value at which the hose can be bent without damage.
In technical drawing, it is usually expressed as R min.

Installations made below this value:

Internal hose cracking
Mesh wire break
It causes premature leakage risks.

Working Pressure and Test Pressure

The following information is included on the technical drawing or technical document:

Working Pressure (WP): Continuous working pressure
Test Pressure (TP): Factory test pressure

Usually:

Test pressure ≥ 1.5 × working pressure

Flow Direction and Mounting Notes

In technical drawing in some special applications:

Flow direction arrow
Mounting position (straight, U-form, loop)
There are also engineering notes, such as vibration compensation direction.

Why is Technical Drawing Critical?

Technical drawing on stainless flexible hoses:

Prevents wrong product selection
Reduces assembly errors
Improves system security
Extends product life

Technical drawings in Hidroman projects are not only for production; It is prepared with the aim of trouble-free assembly and long service life at the customer site.
