Metal Hoses with Braiding
Flexible metal braided hoses and fittings can be used widely in systems like water, steam, hot oil and gas with their resistance to pressure and flexible structure.
They are utilized for conducting liquids, compensating the problems originated from installation, absorbing vibrations and expansions.
Arsenflex Metal Hoses with Braiding
Arsenflex Flexible Metal Hoses can be used as a ready-to-install assembly part in every connection point with their variety of fitting options produced for almost every type of connections.
Flexible metal hoses may be strengtened by double braiding in order to increase their resistance to pressure and environmental conditions. It is also possible to reinforce them by springs with different wire thicknesses or by stripwounds to lengthen their service life in more severe environmental conditions.
Corrugated hoses with brading are widely used in areas like heating, ventilation, conditioning systems, iron and steel industry, chemical and petrochemical facilities, oil and gas refineries, chemisty and food industries, aircraft and ship construction facilities.

Spring Loaded Hoses
Arsenflex Flexible Metal Hoses can be produced reinforced with springs when required. Especially in moving systems, more force is applied to positions near connections due to bending torque. Reinforcement with a spring lengthens cycle life of hoses by minimizing these forces. Additionally, hoses used in filling & emptying systems are exposed to impacts and heavy corrosion due to severe environmental conditions. Applying reinforcement protects hose life against external impacts, thus, increased durability also increases hose’s life.

Stripwound Reinforced Hoses
Stripwound (spiral) hoses are one of the optional accessories that may also be assembled to Arsenflex Flexible Metal Hoses for protection purposes. These hoses may be produced using galvanized or stainless steel sheets. They are adopted to metal hoses with braiding in order to lengthen their cycle life by reducing the force that occurs in positions near fittings to be safely used in devices with continuous movement such as pressers.

Vibration Hoses
Arsenflex Vibration Hoses are ideal for installations especially in refrigerating systems. They are used for absorbing vibrations caused by compressors, pumps and motors.Hoses made of stainless steel are attached to copper pipes using silver welding. Indicated hose lengths are to meet vibration conditions (frequency and amplitude) related to regular compressor production standards.

Jacketed Hoses
In some cases, conveyer Arsenflex hose (inner) is enclosed or jacketed by another bigger diameter hose (picture above). Hoses are connected to each other with specially designed fittings in that case. The aim here is to protect inner media (viscous materials, fuel oil, etc.) from freezing and help keeping high flow rate through inner hose.
In some other cases, a smaller diameter inner hose which conveys a high-temperature water or steam is assembled inside a bigger diameter outer hose in order to provide a high flow rate of main fluid inside outer hose (picture above). Jacketed hoses are designed specifically to be used in such systems and may be manufactured in several diameters and dimensions.
Transfer Hoses
Arsenflex Transfer Hoses are used for conducting liquids or gases that requires leaktightness with their connections produced special to area of usage, conical threads for leaktightness, and springs that ensures minimum damage from frictions to ground.
Transfer hoses are offered with camlocks that provides quick connections.They provide usability in camlock changes with their male and female threads to be adapted to B type and D type camlocks.
When requested, as opposite parts to camlocks, A type camlock for female outlet and F type camlock for male outlet, may also be offered with produced hoses.
Please consult for dimensions and details.

Temperature Correction Factor
Temperature is one of the factors that reduces the hose’s resistance to pressure. Material’s pressure resistance can be figured out by multiplying its operating temperature with the related temperature correction factor.
