About Fustar
Fustar is a leading manufacture of flexible metal hose pipe products.Founded in 1995,Fustar corporation has been a pioneer from the very beginning and continues today to be a leader in the design,and manufacture of flexible metal hose pipe.Fustar bellows,known for our durability and superior resistance to corrosion , are used in more than 15 vertical markets,by hundreds of companies worldwide.
Size 1/4" to 32" flexible metal hose pipes are widely used in systems like water,steam,hot oil and gas with their resistance to pressure and excellent flexibility:
• To absorb heat or pressure-induced expansion of piping system
• To correct problem of misalignment
• To provide flexibility in manual handling operations
• To compensate for regular or constant movement
• To absorb vibration and noise
Typical Construction of Metallic SS316L Flexible Metal Hose Pipe
Metal SS316L flexible hose pipe is generally fabricated of three parts:flexible pipe,braid and end fittings such as ANSI 150lbs flanges,unions,nipples,sockets
Flexible Hose Pipe
A metallic SS316L AISI150lbs flanged flexible metal hose pipe,made of stainless steel thin wall pipe,has a good flexibility,high strength,heat resistance and pressure containment.There are two types of flexible hose pipes-Spiral hose pipe and Annular hose pipe. Spiral type flexible hose pipe is a helically corrugated hose and is usually used in medium and low pressure application.Annular type flexible hose pipe has annular corrugation so that it does not tend to be twisted when subjected to elongation and contraction. Consequently it is suitable for use in high pressure application.
Braid
A flexible wire sheath surrounding a flanged flexible hose pipe that prevents the hose from elongation due to internal pressure.Braid is composed of a number of wires wrapped helically around the hose while at the same time going under and over each other in a basket weave fashion.
End Fitting
Extensive range of end fittings is available.End fitting may have male or female threads.In addition to conventional ANSI,JIS,DIN,BS flanges,unions,nipples,special designs or custom connectors are available.The attachment method:welding,soldering,silver brazing or mechanical,is determined by the appropriate type of hose,alloy and temperature.Contact Fustar for custom fitting information.
Motion of SS316L Metallic AISI150lbs Fixed Flexible Metal Hose Pipe
Offset Motion
This type of motion occurs when one end of the metal hose pipe is deflected in a plane perpendicular to its longitudinal axis with the ends remaining parallel.In offset motion application,the offset should never exceed 25 percent of the centerline bend radius "R"
Vertical Motion
Vertical motion occurs when the center line of a flexible hose pipe assembly is bent in a circular arc and moves in a vertical direction.
Horizontal Motion
Horizontal motion occurs when the center line of a hose assembly is bent in a circular arc and moves in a horizontal direction.
Angular Motion
Angular motion occurs when one end of a flexible hose pipe assembly is deflected in a simple bend with the ends not remaining parallel.
Axial Motion
Axial motion means dimension variation of a metallic flexible hose pipe along its longitudinal axis.Braided hose pipe or helically corrugated hose should not be subjected to axial motion.This mode of motion is restricted to unbraided corrugated hose only and is accomodated by travelling loops.
