In modern industrial piping Flexible Metal Tubes are extensively used for good flexibility, corrosion
resistance, fatigue resistance, high and low temperature resistance (-200ºC to +700ºC), high pressure
resistance and long service life.
We offer Stainless steel corrugated flexible hoses from 6mm (1/4”) to 100 mm (4”). The annular
corrugated hose body provides the flexibility and pressure tight core of the assembly. We also
manufacture highly flexible close-pitch hose for Special Applications.

Unbraided corrugated hoses tend to elongate when pressurized above a certain level. To restrain this, an
external layer of stainless steel wire braiding is provided on the hose. Braiding prevents longitudinal
expansion of corrugated hose and thus increases the internal pressure strengthen the hose many fold.
Braiding is highly flexible and exactly follows the movements of the hose.
To increase the pressure ratings further, two or even three layers of braiding are provided. Unless
specified, braiding is normally manufactured in high tensile stainless steel AISI 304 wire, or stainless
steel AISI 316.
In case of bulk requirement , we also manufacture Braids as per client’s requirements.

A hose assembly consists of a metal hose, with or without braid, with fittings, designed, manufactured
and tested, either from our standard program or made to your specific requirements and ready for use.
QUALITY FLEXIBLES can design and manufacture almost any kind of hose assembly, either with or without
customer specific fittings.

Our thin wall, flexible connector design offers an excellent vibration and durability characteristic.
Multi-ply construction available in all materials with diverse selection of material options, including
special alloys for corrosion and temperature resistance. Flexibility vs. Stiffness can be customized as
needed.
