Braided Flexible Metal Connectors

Metal Pump Connector

Braided Flexible Metal Pump Connectors help with stresses that can occur within piping systems. Our flexible pipe connectors are constructed out of metal. Therefore, they can withstand high levels of pressure due to the braided metal which surrounds them. The connectors are suitable for many different mechanical applications, for example, pipes, pumps, compressors, and other heavy equipment.

Ordinary flexible metal hoses can fail to operate properly when subjected to high pressures; adding an adjustable restraint, such as a metal braid, allows the hose to adequately withstand the specified internal pressure. As well as prevents elongation.

The woven metal braid fits over the metal hose. It is also strong enough to withstand stretching up to the total pressure rating of the hose. Flexible hoses and braids are made from different metals. Common materials used for braided flexible metal connectors are 321 stainless steel hoses and 304 stainless steel.

Braided Flexible Metal Pump Connector

Braided flexible metal pump connectors control vibration, reduce noise, relieve stress, prevent system shock. Additionally, they compensate for misalignment and movement. As a result, braided metal connectors such as pumps, compressors, and other mechanical equipment will help the overall operation of the system.

Flexible metal hose by itself, when subjected to high pressure, can over-extend past the ability to operate correctly. Therefore, include an externally adjustable restraint (i.e., braid) to withstand the specified internal pressure and prevent excessive elongation. A woven material known as the braid is designed to fit snugly over the metal hose. It is fastened to the ends of both hose and fittings.
