Stainless Steel Corrugated Braided Hose with Flanges

Flange Connection Metal Hose: Flexible and Reliable Piping Connection Solution for Diverse Scenarios​
Flange Connection Metal Hose is a widely used piping connection method that plays a crucial role in systems needing flexibility to handle installation errors, thermal expansion, or vibrations. Composed of a metal hose section and two flanges, it is secured between two pipelines by tightening bolts, forming a stable and flexible connection. Crafted from materials like stainless steel, copper, and nickel alloys, it boasts excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, making it adaptable to various working environments and medium conditions. Its advantages, including flexibility, shock resistance, easy installation, and good sealing, make it a preferred choice in many fields, while it also collaborates effectively with other pipeline components.​

In terms of flexibility, the flange connection metal hose excels at absorbing displacements in the piping system, reducing stresses from temperature changes and vibrations. In high-temperature piping systems, it works in tandem with Bellow Expansion Joint. The bellow expansion joint compensates for large-scale thermal expansion and contraction of the main pipeline, while the flange connection metal hose handles small-scale flexible adjustments at the connection points, ensuring the overall system's stability. When paired with Rubber Expansion Joint, it further enhances the system's ability to absorb vibrations. The rubber expansion joint dampens high-frequency vibrations, and the metal hose, with its own flexibility, buffers low-frequency shocks, creating a dual shock-absorbing effect that is ideal for pump and compressor connections.​

For shock resistance, this metal hose effectively reduces vibration transmission in the piping system. In industrial settings with numerous vibration sources, it forms a "flexible connection network" with Flexible Metal Hose. The flange connection metal hose provides stable flange-to-flange connections, and the flexible metal hose adapts to complex routing requirements, together minimizing the impact of vibrations on equipment and pipelines. During installation and maintenance, its collaboration with Dismantling Joint simplifies operations. The dismantling joint allows for quick disassembly and replacement of the flange connection metal hose without disrupting the entire pipeline, significantly reducing maintenance time and costs, which is particularly valuable in industries requiring continuous production.​

The easy installation and maintenance of flange connection metal hose are evident when compared to traditional welded connections. With flanges, assembly and disassembly are straightforward, facilitating maintenance and replacement. It seamlessly connects with Flange Adaptor, which helps adjust connection dimensions, ensuring compatibility with different pipeline standards. This combination is widely used in chemical and petroleum industries where pipeline specifications may vary. In terms of sealing performance, by using appropriate gaskets and applying proper tightening force, excellent sealing is achieved. In fluid transmission systems, when paired with Duckbill Check Valve, it prevents medium backflow. The flange connection metal hose ensures stable fluid delivery, and the duckbill check Valve reliably stops reverse flow, maintaining the one-way flow of the medium.​

From chemical plants conveying corrosive media to power stations handling high-temperature steam, and from water supply systems in buildings to shipbuilding pipelines, Flange Connection Metal Hose demonstrates its versatility. It collaborates with Bellow Expansion Joint for thermal compensation, with Rubber Expansion Joint for vibration absorption, with Flexible Metal Hose for flexible routing, with Dismantling Joint for easy maintenance, with Flange Adaptor for dimension adjustment, and with Duckbill Check Valve for backflow prevention. This integration of components makes Flange Connection Metal Hose an indispensable part of modern piping systems, ensuring efficient, safe, and reliable operation. ​
