Six letters for flexible metal hose selection

The factor that impacts the selection of metal hoses is STAPED - size, temperature, application, media, pressure, end fittings and dynamics.

Flexible metal hose installation depends on four vital points

Flexible metal should be properly installed, including avoiding torque, compression and tension, out-of-plate flexing and sharp bends.

Metal hose, Derating factor between Temperature and Pressure

Derating factor table of metal hose tells us the exact ratio between elevated temperature and pressure loss at a certain temperature.

Basic configuration aids in understanding flexible metal hoses

A typical flexible metal hose consists of convoluted hose, braid(s), braid sleeve and end fitting. These factors determine the hose is life span, working pressure and so on.
