TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION: SINGAFLEX FH001 SINGLE BRAIDED HOSE
- PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Singaflex FH001 is a high-performance flexible metal hose consisting of a hydroformed annular convoluted profile core, externally reinforced with a single layer of high-tensile stainless steel wire braiding. It is engineered to absorb thermal expansion, isolate mechanical vibrations, correct piping misalignments, and safely convey fluids under extreme temperature and pressure conditions. - MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION
- Convoluted Inner Core: Stainless Steel AISI 321, AISI 304L, or AISI 316L (providing excellent corrosion resistance and structural integrity).
- Outer Braiding Layer: Single layer of Stainless Steel AISI 304 or AISI 316L wire braid (prevents elongation under pressure and enhances burst strength).
- TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES & PARAMETERS
- Nominal Diameters (Size Range): Available from DN 6 (1/4') up to DN 100 (4') as standard; custom fabrications available up to DN 350 (14').
- Working Temperature Range: Cryogenic to elevated temperatures ranging from -200°C to +700°C (subject to pressure derating factors at high temperatures).
- Pitch Geometry: Close-pitch profile to ensure high flexibility, minimal bending stress, and maximum cycle life.
- Safety Factor: Nominal burst pressure rated at a minimum of 4 times the maximum allowable working pressure (4:1 safety ratio).
- PERFORMANCE FEATURES
- High Flexibility & Bend Radius: Excellent minimum bend radius capabilities allowing installation in confined, high-vibration layouts.
- Vibration & Noise Isolation: Attenuates continuous high-frequency vibrations from pumps, compressors, and heavy industrial machinery.
- Chemical & Thermal Resistance: Full resistance to chemical attack, aging, and fire hazards compared to synthetic rubber or plastic alternatives.
- TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
- Steam and condensate return lines.
- Cryogenic liquid and gas transfer (LNG, LPG, Liquid Nitrogen).
- Exhaust systems and engine vibration decoupling.
- Chemical processing plants, refineries, and offshore marine piping.
- High-pressure water, oil, and HVAC systems.
