Flexible Metal Hose for Critical Marine Systems

Marine piping systems must accommodate vibration, thermal expansion, equipment movement, and challenging installation configurations.

Hose Master's corrugated metal hose assemblies provide flexibility and durability for applications involving pumps, compressors, engines, generators, HVAC systems, refrigeration, and fluid transfer.

Engineered for demanding operating conditions, these solutions help address:

• Equipment vibration and movement

• Thermal expansion and contraction

• Piping misalignment and installation constraints

• Extreme temperatures and pressure conditions

• Corrosive media and harsh operating environments

Stripwound Metal Hose for Mechanical Protection

Hose Master's stripwound metal hose provides flexible mechanical protection where pressure-tight connections are not required.

Designed for abrasion resistance, crush resistance, and durability, stripwound hose is well suited for protective armor, conduit, and flexible ducting in demanding marine environments.

Expansion Joints for Piping Movement

Temperature fluctuations and vessel movement can place significant stress on marine piping systems.

Hose Master's metal expansion joints, manufactured to EJMA standards, are engineered to accommodate axial, lateral, and angular movement while helping reduce stress on piping and connected equipment.

Each solution is designed around application-specific requirements, including pressure, temperature, movement, materials, and anticipated service life.

Application-Driven Engineering Expertise

Selecting the right flexible metal hose or expansion joint requires a thorough understanding of operating conditions.

Hose Master works with customers to evaluate critical factors such as pressure, temperature, media compatibility, vibration, corrosion, and installation geometry to identify the appropriate solution.
