Cryogenic gas hoses

Cryogenic hoses are hoses specifically designed for extremely cold temperatures and the transport of cryogenic liquids such as liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, and other liquefied gases. These hoses are usually made of materials that can withstand the extreme cold and prevent leakage of the cryogenic liquids.

Materials commonly used for cryogenic hoses include stainless steel, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and other high-performance polymers. The hoses are multi-layered to provide insulation and prevent the build-up of static electricity that could cause a spark and ignite the cryogenic fluids.

Cryogenic gas hoses are used in a variety of industries, such as medical, scientific and industrial, where cryogenic fluids are required. They are typically used to transfer cryogenic liquids from storage tanks to other equipment and to supply cryogenic gases to analytical instruments such as mass spectrometers or nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers.

It is important to use cryogenic hoses that are rated for the specific application and that are properly maintained and inspected to prevent leaks or failures that could result in serious injury or damage.

EN14800 GAS HOSE

EN14800 GAS HOSE STANDARD

EN14800 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for flexible metal hoses, metal hose assemblies and metal hose assemblies for gas installations. The standard specifies the design, performance and testing requirements for these types of hoses, including requirements for materials, dimensions, pressure ratings and temperature ratings.

EN14800 hoses are intended for use in gas installations, such as natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas systems, and are commonly used for residential, commercial and industrial applications. These hoses are typically made of high quality stainless steel or other metallic materials and are designed to be flexible, durable and resistant to corrosion and other types of damage.

EN14800 hoses are typically used to connect gas appliances to gas lines or to connect different sections of gas lines. They are known for their high pressure and temperature ratings, making them suitable for use in a wide range of gas installations.

When selecting an EN14800 hose, it is important to choose one that is compatible with the type of gas being used and to ensure that the hose meets all relevant safety and regulatory requirements. It is also important that the hose is properly installed and maintained to ensure safe and effective operation.

The Advantages and Applications of Flexible Metal Hoses

Flexible metal hoses are widely used in various industries for their unique properties and advantages. They are made of metal alloys such as stainless steel, bronze, and Inconel, which make them strong, durable, and resistant to corrosion and high temperatures. In this blog post, we will discuss the advantages and applications of flexible metal hoses.

Advantages of Flexible Metal Hoses

Flexibility

The primary advantage of flexible metal hoses is their flexibility. They can bend and twist without breaking, which makes them ideal for applications where rigid piping would not work. This flexibility also allows for easier installation in tight spaces and around obstacles.

Durability

Flexible metal hoses are made of high-quality metal alloys, which make them strong, durable, and resistant to wear and tear. They can withstand high pressures, extreme temperatures, and corrosive environments, making them suitable for use in harsh conditions.

Corrosion Resistance

Flexible metal hoses are resistant to corrosion, which makes them suitable for use in applications where corrosion is a concern. They are commonly used in chemical processing plants, food and beverage industries, and marine applications.

High Temperature Resistance

Flexible metal hoses can withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for use in high-temperature applications. They are commonly used in steam and hot water applications, as well as in high-temperature air and gas applications.

Leak-Free

Flexible metal hoses are designed to be leak-free, which makes them ideal for use in applications where leakage is unacceptable. They are commonly used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, as well as in high-pressure gas and liquid applications.

Applications of Flexible Metal Hoses

Flexible metal hoses are used in a wide range of industries and applications, including:

Chemical Processing

Flexible metal hoses are commonly used in chemical processing plants for the transfer of corrosive chemicals and acids. They are resistant to corrosion, which makes them suitable for use in harsh chemical environments.

Food and Beverage

Flexible metal hoses are used in the food and beverage industry for the transfer of food products and liquids. They are hygienic, easy to clean, and resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for use in food processing and storage.

HVAC

Flexible metal hoses are used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for the transfer of air and gases. They are resistant to high temperatures and can withstand the pressure and vibration of HVAC systems.

Marine

Flexible metal hoses are used in marine applications for the transfer of liquids and gases. They are resistant to corrosion, high temperatures, and pressure, making them suitable for use in marine environments.

Oil and Gas

Flexible metal hoses are used in the oil and gas industry for the transfer of oil, gas, and other fluids. They are resistant to high temperatures and pressures, making them suitable for use in oil and gas drilling and production.

Conclusion

Flexible metal hoses are an essential component in many industries and applications, thanks to their unique properties and advantages. They are flexible, durable, corrosion-resistant, and can withstand high temperatures and pressures. They are used in chemical processing, food and beverage, HVAC, marine, and oil and gas applications, among others.

Corrugated Flexible metal hoses

Metal hose

Corrugated Flexible metal  hose

flexible metal hose made from stainless steel sheet, is a annularly corrugated tube manufactured by continuously processing this material in a high speed automatic forming machine.

After this processing, it is put in a continuous automatic bright annealing furnace without oxidization to completely eliminate residual stress and becomes high quality corrugated flexible metal hose.

Braid

The Application of one kinds of braid ( wire) is settled by the diameter of flexible metal hose upon 4″ , wire braid is used.The function of braid protect metallic flexible hose when fluid pressure operated the inside of corugated flexible metal hose.

End Fitting Connection

TIG welding method of flexible metal hose weld en fittings to each side of flexible metal hose.In that case, welding parts fall anti-corrosion than orginal material , so PLATINFLEX Assembled flexible metal hose assemblies with taking a serious view of anti-corrosion.

Advantages of flexible metal hoses

In order to increase their pressure resistance, the corrugated metal hoses get single or multiple braids. The material of the wire netting is usually

At high pressures, the inherent pressure resistance of the metal hose is almost negligible.

The pressure resistance of braided metal hoses is many times higher than of metal hoses without braiding. Ultimately the braid alone is load-bearing.

Pressure and temperature ranges of flexible metal  hoses

Corrugated flexible metal hoses can be used for pressures up to 350 bar or vacuum. The temperature resistance is dependent on the material, for stainless steel flexible metal  hoses it is guaranteed up to 600°C. With special materials, even higher temperatures are possible. However, when designing  flexible metal hoses, the material-dependent pressure reduction factors must be considered. Applications in the cryogenic range are possible down to approximately -270°C without pressure reduction.

PLATINFLEX  corrugated metal hoses are manufactured with an inner diameter of 6 to 100 mm
