A flexible hose generally consists of three main parts: a corrugated tube, a mesh sleeve, and a connector.

  Metal flexible hoses are generally composed of three main parts: corrugated tubes, mesh sleeves, and connectors.
  The corrugated tube is the main body of the metal flexible hose and provides flexibility; the mesh sleeve provides reinforcement and shielding; and the connector provides connection. The way these parts connect varies depending on the requirements: corrugated tubes, mesh sleeves, and connectors can be welded together (welded type), mechanically clamped (mechanically clamped type), or a combination of both (hybrid type). They are widely used in machinery, chemical, petroleum, metallurgical, and food industries.
  What is the pressure range of pressure-resistant metal flexible hoses? The pressure range of flexible hoses is generally PN0.6-32.0 MPa, up to 42.0 MPa. The metal flexible hose is the main pressure-bearing component installed in the pressure pipeline, and it also acts as a protective sheath for the corrugated tube. Depending on the pressure in the pipeline and the application, one or more layers of stainless steel wire or steel strip can be woven.
