AISI304 316l British Standard BSP female threaded flexible metal hose pipe
Stainless steel AISI304 flexible metal hose with thread connect by thread and bolt,its drift diameter usually under 100mm and can stand higher working pressure.Flexible metal hose pipe's material and numbers of mesh grid can change relying on different medium , temperature and pressure.
British Standard Pipe(BSP) is a family of technical standards for crew threads that has been adopted internationally for interconnecting and sealing pipes and fittings by mating an external(male) thread with an internal(female) thread.The British standard BSP female threaded flexible metal hose pipe has been adopted as standard in pluming and pipe fittings,except in the US,where NPT and related threads are the standard used.
At least 41 thread sizes have been defined, ranging from 1/16 to 18,although of these only 15 are included in ISO 7 and 24 in ISO 228.The size number was originally based on the inner diameter(measured in inches)of a steel tube for which the thread was intended , but contemporary pipes tend to use thinner walls to save material, and thus have an inner diameter larger than this nominal size.
BSP Threaded Flexible Metal Hose Features
· Form-fit-and-stay,flexible,all-metal hose pipe.
· SS321,SS316L,SS304 stainless steel annular convoluted core.
· Size range of 1/4 through 1 1/2 in ,and working pressures up to 10bar.
· Annealed material enables tubing to be compressed by at least 15% and extended up to 50% of manufactured length.
· Form-fit-and-stay capability of convoluted hose pipe can compensate for misalignment and system reroutes between static connections in vacuum or low-pressure static applications.
· Commonly used in high-temperature vacuum or low-pressure static applications.
· Standard and custom pipe lengths,custom hose pipe assemblies,and adapters for field assembly are available.
· Options include additional helium leak testing and BSP threaded flexible metal hose pipe tags.

Considerations for Selecting a British Standard BSP Threaded Flexible Metal Hose Pipe Assembly Solution
Temperature
Identify the minimum and maximum temperatures the flexible metal hose pipe assembly will be exposed to with regard to the system media and the environment.
Pressure
Identify the minimum and maximum pressures (or vacuum) within and outside the metal hose pipe assembly.
Material
Identify the system media and the environment to which the AISI304 flexible metal hose pipe assembly will be exposed. This will help determine the materials of construction best suited to the application demands and whether the hose pipe requires a static dissipative core.
Movement
Confirm whether the flexible hose pipe assembly will be installed in dynamic applications as this will require different considerations than a static application.
Length
Determine the most likely route for installation of the flexible pipe,and use this to identify length requirements.
Cleanliness
Identify the need for cleanliness. Ease of cleaning the internal surfaces of the hose pipe,as well as maintaining outside cleanliness may be of concern.
End Connection
Identify the type of end connections which are most compatible with the system requirements.End connections differ with regard to materials of construction and pressure ratings.
Orientation
Clarify space constraint concerns.Hose assemblies with elbows and union ball joints may help resolve space constraint issues.
Desired Flow
Consider desired flow.Flexible metal hose pipe connection size,core pipe construction, and routed installation may impact flow.
Drainability
Consider core construction as this will impact drainability.
Test Reports
Identify the need for documentation in the form of test reports.
Special Testing
Many applications may require testing to requirements different from the production tests listed.If your application uses liquid at a positive pressure,you may request an additional hydrostatic proof test.
Special Marking
Discuss special marking requirements;there are different options available to readily identify stainless steel flexible metal hose pipe assembilies.
