What Is a Stainless Steel Hose Assembly?

Flextech metallic hose assemblies are engineered from stainless steel metal hose for use in applications where temperature, pressure, and vacuum demands are high. These flexible hoses bring together corrugated stainless steel hose, braided hose reinforcement and correctly specified hose couplings to form durable hose assemblies for demanding process connections. They deliver:

Temperature resistance from -200°C to +600°C (and up to 800°C in stated peak conditions)
Chemical resistance appropriate to the specified stainless steel materials and media
Non‑permeable metal braided construction to help maintain product integrity
Suitability for use in vacuum applications where correctly specified
Capacity for up to 50,000 flex cycles, depending on hose type, configuration, and operating conditions
Availability of assemblies designed and tested to ISO10380, the international standard for corrugated metal hoses and hose assemblies

For details on other flexible hose solutions, see our flexible hose assemblies page.

Bespoke Metallic Hose Assemblies — Tailored to Your Needs

Flextech’s bespoke hose assemblies are specified to individual requirements, including hose diameter, braid configuration, liner material, hose couplings and end fittings. Options can include single, double, or triple braided hose; liners in AISI 321 or 316 stainless steel; and coverings such as EPDM or fire sleeve, where appropriate for the application. Fabrication methods such as coded welding and controlled assembly procedures are used to help ensure the hose, fittings and tube or pipe connections match the process conditions. For technical support and advice on selection, visit the STAMPED hose selection guide.

Flexible Hose Assemblies For Challenging Environments

Applications where flexibility and resilience are important—such as food and beverage production, pharmaceutical processes, chemical transfer, steam service, and certain hazardous industries—may be suitable for Flextech stainless steel hose assemblies when correctly selected and installed. In these environments, flexible metal hose can link rigid pipework and process equipment, while valves and other inline components can be connected using compatible couplings and fittings. Flextech also provides hose asset management services intended to support the lifespan of hose assemblies and assist with inspection and regulatory compliance.

Examples of applications for metallic hose assemblies include:

High‑temperature hydraulic circuits, where specified
Steam and petroleum transfer duties within the stated pressure and temperature ratings
Chemical and corrosive environments compatible with the selected stainless steel hose and fitting materials
Cryogenic and vacuum service, where hoses are designed and rated for those conditions
Specialist plant engineering projects with defined operating parameters
Oil and gas duties where the hose design, couplings and welded connections match the project specification
