Flexible Metal Hose.
                  Ocelflex Industries is a manufacturer of corrugated metal hose, braid and its assemblies. Ocelflex has more than 25 years of experience in providing flexing solutions to various industries. We offer a wide range of metal hoses, with and without metal braid, for nearly any liquid and gaseous transfer application. High flexibility, high temperature resistance, high pressure ratings and suitability for a wide variety of media, are some reasons for its increasing demand in food and chemical, medical and pharmaceutical, oil and gas, construction and ship building, glass, aerospace, power, railway, and automotive industries.

                  Basically a metal hose assembly is composed of the inner corrugated hose element, with outer braid/s and end hose connectors. Our design ensures maximum cycle life of the hose, at most competitive rates.
Corrugated Metal Hose
Description
Ocelflex’s metal hoses are manufactured using 300 Series Stainless Steel thin walled sheets, which are rolled and butt welded to form Stainless Steel Tubing. Further, the Stainless Steel Tubing is either Hydraulically formed or Mechanically formed into corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing. This Stainless Steel convoluted hose is close pitched with Annular Corrugations or Parallel Convolutions, for maximum flexibility.

Flexible stainless steel hose are manufactured in long lengths and are designed, as per International Standard – ISO 10380, to perform in most stringent conditions.

Working closely with customers helps us improve our quality by understanding the application, customer requirements, and deliver better products. Flexible Metal Hoses are 100% pneumatically leak tested in bulk lengths, before being customised as per the order size.

Why use Metal Hose over Rigid Pipe systems?
Prefabrication of pipes in projects require less precision.
⇨ Assembly inaccuracies can be easily corrected.
Easy to remove and reinstall, for different applications.
⇨ Absorbs mild vibrations, thermal expansion, pressure variations caused in the pipe systems.

Stainless Steel Braided Flexible Metal Hose
Description
                      The pressure rating of plain unbraided corrugated metal hoses is low, in order to increase the pressure, some load bearing mechanism is to be used. The metal braiding is welded to the hose and its fittings, and bears the full mechanical stress which must be absorbed by a metal hose connection.

                      Metal hoses are available with Stainless Steel 300 Series Braid. In order to increase the pressure resistance of the high temperature flexible hose, it is steel braided.

Depending upon the pressure parameter in the application, the metal hose is designed using either single braid or double braid or multiple braids. Ocelflex manufactures wide range of braid constructions including 24 and 36 carriers. Bright annealed and high tensile wires are used for the production of metal braids.

Once the metal hose is welded with the stainless steel braid, it can absorb mild vibrations and movements, and also act as a protective covering to the relatively thin walled hose.

Flexible metal hose connectors, assemblies, fittings
                    At Ocelflex, we manufacture hose fittings as per International standards and custom requirements. As most of the flexible hose assemblies are manufactured inhouse, we are able to maintain strict inspections related to the quality of the hose fittings. From raw material to specifications, all information is recorded to quality purposes. The end connections or fittings of the flexible hoses can be made up of Stainless Steel, Mild Steel, Brass and other materials as required by the application. Depending upon the material, the hose fittings can be welded to Stainless Steel Flexible Metal Hoses. Read below a list of the flexible hose assemblies which are more frequently used, click on any to get more information about the design standard, material and sizes manufactured.
How to select a metal hose?
                   Although for most industrial applications, stainless steel flexible hose is more suitable as compared to other type of hoses, because of its longer life, chemical compatibility, permeation concerns, fire safety, and other such advantages. However, there are some points that need to be noted for selecting the metal hose. Read below to understand how to calculate the Size, length, pressure, temperature, media, material and end fittings of the metal hose.

                   Depending upon your application and requirement, you can fill out the metal hose specification sheet for us to understand your enquiry, and based on our experience we shall quote the most suitable hose for your application, at the most competitive rates. In case you already have a sample, and would like us to manufacture a similar product, then you can send us the photographs, dimensions and/or drawings.
