Hose Assemblies

Hose Assemblies

When the corrugated hose is subjected to pressure, it tends to open axially. The wire braid is provided to prevent elongation caused by the pressure on the hose. This results in manifold increase in the hose's pressure strength. The braid also provides physical protection against damage to the tube and also dampens secondary vibration movements. The braid is made of Stainless steel wire conforming to AISI 304/316/321. The angles of lay, wire thickness, number of strands are carefully selected to meet the various application requirements. The braid is woven in such a way that line pressure produces braid tension, and correspondingly provides radial and axial constraint prohibiting elongation of inner tubes. Multiple braided assemblies required to accommodate higher pressures, are also available.
Loose braids are also manufactured to meet specific requirements for rubber hoses and other flexible hoses of varied materials. These are tailor-made to meet customer needs.
