SS Flexible Corrugated Bellow Hose Manufacturer in India

Hydrofit Engineers manufactures and supplies SS Flexible Corrugated Bellow Hoses for industrial applications where flexibility, vibration absorption and reliable fluid or gas transfer are required. These hoses are designed for installations where rigid piping may not be suitable because of movement, vibration, alignment requirements or operating conditions. 

The hose consists of a flexible corrugated stainless steel inner section and can be supplied with an external stainless steel wire braid depending on the application. The corrugated construction provides flexibility, while the braid supports the hose when operating under internal pressure. 

Based in Chennai, Hydrofit Engineers supplies SS Corrugated Bellow Hoses in India for industrial machinery, process equipment, piping systems and fluid transfer requirements. 

Construction of SS Corrugated Bellow Hose 

A typical stainless steel corrugated hose assembly consists of the corrugated hose, external braid where required and suitable end connections. 

The corrugated stainless steel inner hose provides flexibility and allows the assembly to accommodate movement that would be difficult with rigid pipe. 

The stainless steel wire braid fitted over the corrugated hose helps restrain the hose under internal pressure. Depending on the required hose construction and operating conditions, single or double braid configurations may be considered. 

End connections are selected according to the equipment or piping system. Threaded, flanged or welded end configurations can be considered based on the actual requirement and available product range. 

Technical Specifications 

The working pressure should always be selected according to the actual hose size, material, braid construction, temperature and end connection. A single pressure rating should not be applied to every corrugated hose configuration. 

Single Braid and Double Braid Corrugated Hoses 

Single braid SS corrugated hoses use one layer of stainless steel wire braid over the corrugated inner hose and are selected according to the pressure and operating requirements of the application. 

Double braid SS corrugated hoses incorporate an additional braid layer and may be used where the hose design requires increased pressure capability. 

Selection should not be based only on whether the hose has single or double braid. Hose diameter, operating pressure, temperature, media, movement and end connections should all be considered before finalizing the assembly. 

Applications of SS Flexible Corrugated Hoses 

SS corrugated bellow hoses are used across industrial installations where a flexible metallic connection is required. Typical applications include process piping, industrial machinery, pumps, equipment connections, fluid transfer lines, gas lines and installations involving vibration or limited movement. 

They may also be considered for hot fluids, steam and chemical applications when the selected hose material and complete assembly are compatible with the operating media, pressure and temperature. 

For conventional oil based hydraulic systems, customers can also explore our Hydraulic Hoses range, which includes different hose constructions for low, medium and high pressure applications. 

SS Corrugated Hose vs Conventional Hydraulic Hose 

An SS corrugated hose and a conventional hydraulic hose should not be treated as interchangeable products. 

A conventional hydraulic hose normally consists of an inner tube, reinforcement and an external cover. It is commonly used in hydraulic machinery and fluid power systems. 

An SS flexible corrugated hose uses a metallic corrugated inner section and stainless steel braid where required. It is particularly useful where metallic construction, flexibility, vibration accommodation or specific temperature and media compatibility are important. 

The correct hose should therefore be selected according to the application rather than simply according to size. 

Selecting the Right SS Corrugated Bellow Hose 

To select a suitable hose assembly, customers should provide more than just the required diameter and length. 

The following information is useful when sending an enquiry: 

• Required hose size and length 

• Fluid, gas or other media 

• Normal working pressure 

• Operating temperature 

• Static or dynamic movement requirement 

• Required end connections 

• Preferred stainless steel grade, if specified 

• Required quantity 

The bend radius and installation arrangement should also be considered. Excessive bending, twisting or stress close to the end fittings can affect hose performance and service life. 

For applications requiring frequent connection and disconnection of transfer hoses, a suitable Camlock Coupling can also be considered depending on the media, hose construction and connection requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is an SS flexible corrugated bellow hose? 

It is a flexible metallic hose manufactured with a corrugated stainless steel inner section. Stainless steel wire braid may be provided around the hose depending on the pressure and application requirements. 

What is the purpose of SS braid on a corrugated hose? 

The braid helps restrain the corrugated hose when it is subjected to internal pressure and contributes to the pressure capability of the complete assembly. 

Are single braid and double braid hoses available? 

Single and double braid constructions can be considered depending on the required product range, hose size, working pressure and application. 

Can different end connections be provided? 

Depending on the requirement, corrugated hose assemblies can be configured with suitable threaded, flanged or welded end connections.
