Heating and Cooling

In steam transfer and jacketing applications, hoses facilitate heat transfer, heating, sterilisation, and process heating while providing insulation and protection for piping systems, enhancing safety and reducing heat loss. Metallic hoses are often used to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction in pipework systems via the use of an expansion loop.

Flexible metal hoses are particularly important due to their high-temperature resistance, making them suitable for steam, hot water, and high-temperature air and gas applications. A multitude of industries utilise braided metallic hoses to convey steam flexibly and efficiently.
