The Braid : SFT provides full range of Braiding from ¼” to 12” on Metallic Hose. Stainless Steel Wire is Braided over the Metal hose to prevent longitudinal expansion of corrugated hose at pressure or tensile stress and to increase internal stability of the metal hose. It also provides outer protection of the metal hose from physical damage. The Braid can be used as Single Layer, Double Or even Triple Layer depending on the pressure requirement. When the corrugated hose is subjected to pressure, it tends to open axially. The SS Hose, a braid collar and the braid are joined together by TIG welding process to produce a flexible SS Hose Assembly. The Braid is made of SS wire i.e AISI 304 or 316. The angle of lay, wire thickness, number of wire ends are carefully selected to meet the various application requirements and these are maintained perfectly due to computerized machines on over all lengths of braids produced. The braid is woven in such a way that line pressure produces braid tension, which provides radial and axial constraint prohibiting elongation of inner tubes. Designing the proper braid for each type of corrugated hose requires sophisticated engineering to maintain the proper balance between the braid strength and the hose.
