Metal hose design criteria
Wall thickness:
Wall thickness of the hose is decided by the manufacturer considering the flexibility, pressure rating and corrosion requirements. Thick and thin walled hoses have both advantages and disadvantages. Hence, wall thickness of hose shall be selected depending on the application.
Complete application details of hose assembly should be informed to the manufacturer to select suitable wall thickness.
Hose Reinforcement
In some cases, where sharp bend at the ends of hose assembly is not under control, reinforcement is necessary.
Hose Protection
Height and pitch of convolution
Height and pitch of convolution of metallic hose is another design criteria to be considered.
High convolution gives excellent fatigue life but has poor pressure capacity.
A closely pitched hose with normal convolution height can give good cycle life at high pressure. As the wall thickness in this case is less, the corrosion life is less. Suitable combination of pitch, wall thickness and convolution height are selected to suit the application.
