Assembly Components
In this section,we discuss the various components that make up a flange flexible metal bellow hose assembly,and what information a flexible metal bellow hose fabricator will need in order to make an assembly for your application.If you need assistance determining this information,we have also included an explanation of how to analyze the application and make the appropriate selections.
In order to produce an assembly,the fabricator will need answers to the following five questions.
1. Hose(type,alloy,and size)
2. Fittings(type,alloy,and size for each end)
3. Length of the Assembly(either overall length or live length)
4. Fabrication Options
5. Accessories
If you have the answers to these questions , a metal hose fabricator will be able to make your custom assembly.If you do not have the answers to all five questions, you will need to obtain them.
S.T.A.M.P.E.D. To properly design a flexible metal bellow hose assembly for a particular application,the following design parameters must be determined.To help remember them,they have been arranged to form the acronym "S.T.A.M.P.E.D."
1. SIZE
The diameter of the connections to which the assembly will be installed is needed to provide a proper fit. This information is required.
2. TEMPERATURE
As the temperature to which the assembly is exposed(internally and externally) increase,the strength of the assembly's components decreases. Also,the coldest temperature to which the stainless steel metal bellows will be exposed can affect the assembly procedure and/or fitting materials. If you do not provide the information,it will be assumed that the temperatures are 420℃.
3. APPLICATION
This refers to the configuration in which the assembly is installed.This includes both the diamensions of the assembly,as well as the details of any movement that the assembly will experience.This information is necessary to determine assembly length and required flexibility.
4. MEDIA
Identify all chemicals to which the assembly will be exposed,both internally and externally.This is important since you must be sure the assembly's components are chemically compatible with the media going through the 300 series stainless steel flexible metal bellow hose,as well as the environment in which the hose is to be installed. If no media is given, it will be assumed that both the media and the external environment are compatible with all of the available materials for each component.
5. PRESSURE
Identify the internal pressure to which the assembly will be exposed. Also,determine if the pressure is constant or if there are cycles or spikes. This information is important to determine if the assembly is strong enough for the application. If no pressure is given it will be assumed that the pressure is low and there are on pressure surges or spikes.
6. END FITTINGS
Identify the necessary end fittings.This is required since fittings for the assembly must be chosen to properly fit the mating connections.
7. DYNAMICS
Identify the velocity at which the media will flow through the assembly. Since flexible metal bellow hose does not have a smooth interior,rapid media flow can create a resonant frequency that will cause the hose to vibrate and prematurely fail. If no velocity is given,it will be assumed that the velocity is not fast enough to affect the assembly's performance.
Selecting A Hose When selecting a stainless steel 316l flexible metal bellow hose , you must consider three variables:
1. PRESSURE-CARRYING CAPABILITY
2. FLEXIBILITY
3. CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY
