Flexible Joint
A flexible assembly consists of a tube (metal hose), braid, and end fittings (union, flange, nipple, socket, etc.). Flexible hoses are used for piping in oil tanks, preventing vibration caused by air compressors, preventing thermal stress, and exhaust gas piping in high-speed diesel engines. Flexible joints have a small product length and a flexible nature, making them suitable for connecting pipes and equipment in small installation spaces and absorbing equipment vibration. They are mainly used for connecting pumps and piping.
The flexible configuration is composed of a tube (metal hose), a braid, and end fittings (union, flange, nipple, socket, etc.).
Flexible hoses are used for piping for oil tanks, prevention of vibration generated by air compressors, prevention of thermal stress, and exhaust gas piping inside high-speed diesel engines.
Flexible joints have a flexible and compact design, making them ideal for connecting small piping and equipment, and absorbing equipment vibrations. They are mainly used for connecting pumps and piping.
Stainless steel is used as the material to increase elasticity and shape it into a waveform, thereby increasing its inward and outward flexibility, making it effective in reducing vibrations in connecting pipes and vibrating pipes of moving machinery.
Through automatic bright annealing continuous heat treatment, high-quality metal hoses are produced, which are suitable for general purposes with a pressure below medium pressure due to their axial elasticity from tension and compression, and are divided into spiral type, suitable for relatively high-pressure applications, and annular type.
When pressure is applied to the inside of the tube, it elongates in the length direction, and the external braid restricts the elongation and protects the tube from external impacts.
Ugwang Industries' flexible hoses are designed for flexibility, using stainless steel wire up to 200A and braids are designed to be suitable for use pressure, temperature, etc.
Flexible hoses are typically connected to end fittings by welding the ends of the tube. However, welding can lead to reduced corrosion resistance compared to the base material due to thermal stress. To address this issue, our flexible hoses are designed with a simple structure and assembled with a focus on corrosion resistance.
