flexible metal hose and flexible rubber are commonly used in pipe systems, but some pipe systems are designed and constructed with metallic hoses. Flexible metal hoses are an important component in the connecting pipeline of modern industrial equipment.
Although the flexible rubber hose is soft, strong resistance to fatigue, can also be used in industrial equipment, but in the pressure, temperature resistance, anti-aging and other aspects are weak links, with the flexible metal hose ratio is relatively weak. After a few months of general use, it can no longer be used. The good comprehensive performance of flexible metal hoses is fully reflected here. In addition to pressure and temperature, there are often some harsh conditions such as fatigue, corrosion, vibration, displacement, impact, etc. in the pipeline system, so in this case, it is most appropriate to compensate the vibration movement of the pipe with flexible metal hoses.
In complex pipeline systems, there are often difficulties in installation due to space location constraints. If the installation stress remains in the pipeline system, it is undoubtedly a great hidden danger. The metal hose can bend at will, and under the condition of rated bending radius, the internal stress caused by bending is very small, so it can bring great convenience to the pipeline design and play an important role in ensuring the safe operation of the pipeline system. In the design of a piping system, such as stringing a flexible metal hose on a connecting pipe, it can not only receive some of the noise generated by the vibration of the unit, but also absorb the noise generated by fluid pulsation in the piping system. By absorbing vibration, metal hoses not only reduce the system’s ability to fatigue and damage, but also reduce noise. This is why some line systems use flexible metal hoses.
Flexible metal hoses can have such a big effect can not be separated from its bellows. It is because bellows play a whole flexible role as the main body, which can facilitate the flexible metal hoses to play such an important role in the industrial field. Although flexible metal hoses can be compressed or stretched, they can break quickly and reduce service life if not installed in the correct position. Therefore, proper installation is also important.
