Performance of plastic-coated flexible metal hose

The inner layer of plastic-coated flexible metal hose is made of stainless steel flexible metal hose or galvanized flexible metal hose and special insulation treatment. The outer layer is made of PVC material, which is anti-ultraviolet and anti-aging. Operating temperature range: -40℃~+160℃.

1. Plastic-coated flexible metal hose has excellent waterproof, insulating, and tensile properties.

2. The surface of the flexible metal hose is made of PVC material, and the PVC plastic is added with a fire retardant.

3. The structure of the plastic-coated flexible metal hose is single button and double button type, which increases the tensile strength and is not easy to be broken or deformed.

4. Plastic-coated flexible metal hose has good bending performance and smooth internal structure, which makes it easy to pass through when threading wires and cables.

5. Plastic-coated flexible metal hose is waterproof, oil-proof, anti-corrosion, and has good sealing performance.

 

How to install flexible metal hose

Although the metal flexible metal hose can be compressed or stretched, if it is not installed in the correct position, it will break quickly and reduce its service life.

 The flexible metal hose can be installed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The most ideal state is vertical installation. At the same time, avoid installing the flexible metal hose near the wheel. If necessary, install a baffle on the flexible metal hose.

Generally, the metal flexible metal hose can be divided into three types of lengths: the first type is the compressed length, that is, the length when the flexible metal hose is compressed to the limit position; the second type is the installation length, which is at the maximum displacement of the flexible metal hose Half of the middle position is the length of the flexible metal hose; the third type is the stretched length, the length of the flexible metal hose when it is stretched to the maximum limit.

 When installing a flexible metal hose, the flexible metal hose should be in the middle position, which is the so-called installation length. In the installation state of the flexible metal hose in this position, the flexible metal hose can move in two directions when subjected to axial load. Otherwise, if it can only move in one direction, the strength of the flexible metal hose will be affected and the service life of the flexible metal hose will be reduced.

In the actual installation process of the flexible metal hose, considering that the length of the flexible metal hose is measured with a ruler according to the calculation result, the installation may affect the production efficiency. Some foreign manufacturers install the ruler directly on the flexible metal hose and put the ruler after installation. Cut off.
