Product Overview & Engineering Excellence
Designed for demanding fluid transfer applications requiring high pressure resistance, extreme flexibility, and total chemical inertness, our Stainless Steel Braided PTFE Hoses deliver long-term reliability in severe service environments. Constructed with a seamless inner core of virgin smooth-bore or convoluted PTFE, each hose is reinforced externally with high-tensile 304 or 316 stainless steel wire braiding.
The inner fluoropolymer liner isolates process fluids from metallic contact, preventing media contamination and internal corrosion, while the external stainless steel braid provides high pressure rating capability and physical protection against external mechanical abrasion.
Key Performance Advantages
-
Universal Chemical Immunity: Non-reactive PTFE inner core withstands aggressive acids, caustics, organic solvents, steam, and high-purity gases across the full pH range.
-
High Pressure Capability: High-density stainless steel wire braid reinforcement allows high working pressure ratings while preventing radial hose expansion.
-
Non-Stick & Easy to Clean: Ultra-smooth inner bore surface eliminates fluid buildup, minimizes pressure loss, and allows quick flushing or clean-in-place processing.
-
Vibration & Misalignment Dampening: Flexible hose structure absorbs equipment vibration, mechanical movement, and thermal expansion in rigid piping layouts.
-
Broad Thermal Performance: Operates reliably across extreme temperature conditions from deep cryogenic cold up to elevated process heat.
