Our Corrugated Stainless Steel Braided PTFE Hoses delivery great flexibility and high pressure resistance.
Inner Structure: convoluted PTFE inner liner. Bends tighter than smooth-bore hoses without kinking or blocking flow.
Outside Structure: high-tensile SS304/SS316/SS316L stainless steel braided. high pressure and external damage, absorbs vibration and compensates for thermal expansion
Application : chemical transfer, industrial steam pipes, high-vibration engines and vacuum systems

A: Corrugated PTFE hoses is normally selected when the installation requires tight routing, frequent movement, or vibration isolation.Compared with smooth-bore PTFE hoses, the corrugated inner core allows a smaller bend radius and is less likely to flatten under bending stress. This makes it a better choice for connecting vibrating equipment, moving assemblies, or pipe systems with limited installation space.Smooth-bore pefe hoses is generally preferred for applications requiring higher flow efficiency or higher pressure ratings.
Q: Does the corrugated design affect the pressure rating?
A: Yes. In most cases, corrugated PTFE hoses has a lower working pressure rating than smooth-bore ptfe hoses of the same size.The corrugated wall structure provides flexibility, but it can also expand slightly under higher internal pressure. For applications involving very high pressure, larger diameters, or pressure spikes, smooth-bore PTFE hoses may be a more suitable option. Additional braid layers or reinforced designs are available for higher-pressure requirements.
Q: What is the difference between helical and annular corrugations?
A:Helical (spiral) corrugation uses a continuous spiral-shaped profile along the hose length. It generally provides smoother media flow and improved self-draining performance.Annular corrugation uses a series of independent parallel corrugations. This design typically offers better flexibility and improved fatigue resistance under repeated movement or thermal cycling.The selection mainly depends on the operating conditions and movement requirements of the system.
