Home Technology Metal Hose Derating Factor between Temperature and Pressure

Six criteria for metal hose selection

When ambient temperature increases, the pressure a flexible metal hose assembly withstand decreases. Elevated is one of the factors that cause the loss of working pressures. Tables below assist you with calculating the safe working pressure at high temperatures with welded or mechanically attachments.
