Metal Joints and Flexibles Metal Hoses
Metal joints
They are a viable alternative to the textile joint, especially where there is a demand for watertightness or where the operating pressure is too high for the fabric alternative.
Metal anti-vibration joints allow the dampening of vibrations to which pipes are subjected. Their movements are classified into 4 main types:
- Axial
- Lateral
- Angular
- Combined
Common Applications:
Metal hoses
They are obtained from drawn tubes with or without longitudinal welding. They are used to flow fluids of different types, with the aim of ensuring flexibility to the system and absolute tightness (absorbing vibrations and any movement of the pipes, resisting high temperatures/ pressures and corrosion).
Bare metal hoses can be supplied; however, as they are often designed to withstand very high pressures, it is of paramount importance that they be clad with one or more AISI 304 braids. In case of
