What are High-Temperature Flexible Hoses?

High-temperature flexible hoses are frequently exposed to a range of special environmental conditions, including uses at very high ambient temperatures. These types of flexible hoses can also be used for transporting hot gasses and other substances.

Types of High-Temperature Flexible Hoses

Some of the different types of high-temperature flexible hoses that you can choose from include:

Metal Hoses

Metal hoses can be particularly useful for industrial applications, such as transferring gas and fluids, and can be used to help balance thermal pressure and to correct any misalignment issues. This type of high-temperature flexible hose can easily be constructed from a variety of different materials (stainless steel, Monel, bronze, Inconel, and Hastelloy) and can be customized to fit almost any application. Metal hose assemblies range in size from 1/4″ to 30″ in diameter and are available in a selection of styles, including:

  • Helical corrugations
  • 2-ply construction
  • Single or double braid
  • Open pitch
  • Annular corrugations
  • Closed pitch

PTFE Hoses

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hoses are most commonly used in industrial environments that handle a range of different chemicals. This type of high-temperature flexible hose can be manufactured in both standard and fully customizable options, making it easy to find the perfect fit for your specific needs. All PTFE hoses are designed and built to be non-reactive and are suitable for a selection of different applications. Available in over 36 different types of fittings, PTFE flexible hoses can be constructed with metallic or non-metallic braids, as well as to be flexible and non-corrosive.

Speciality Transfer Hoses

Specialty transfer hoses are designed to be heat resistant, flexible, and highly durable, as well as for transferring fluids, including fuel, gas, and cooling liquids. This type of high-temperature flexible hose was specifically built to withstand even the most demanding work environments. Some of the different applications speciality transfer hoses can be used for are:

  • Jacketed assemblies
  • Steam and oil traced
  • CSA certified
  • Refrigeration hoses
  • Chlorine transfer hose
  • Cryogenic assemblies
  • PTFE lined assemblies
  • Expansion and seismic loops
