The strip is formed into square shapes that are locked together. Squarelocked is flexible
and is primarily used as a protective covering for wires, fiber optic cables, and other
hoses.
Packing may be added to interlocked hose to minimize leakage through the hose profile.
The most effective packings are made from resilient materials such as elastomers and, to
a lesser extent, cotton. Harder materials (stainless steel and copper) are also available if
requested.
The strip is formed with legs that interlock to form a hose that is flexible and ideally suited for
conveying dry bulk materials, gas exhaust, or used as a protective cover.
STRIPWOUND METAL HOSE OVERVIEW
1
Flow
Stripwound metal hose is a rugged product made from a strip of steel that is profiled and continuously
wound around a mandrel to form a hose. Hose Master’s proprietary manufacturing process yields an
extremely consistent and balanced profile that maximizes strength and flexibility. Stripwound hose is
used as a guard, exhaust hose, and for the transfer of dry bulk materials.
Designed to reduce damage to delicate materials, another steel strip is added inside a
roughbore hose to provide a smooth interior surface. Smoothbore hose is also flexible
and used for dry bulk conveying.
Types of Stripwound Metal Hose Products
Designed for torque resistance and enhanced sealability, this product resists twisting,
unwinding, and strip flare-up after cutting. Torque-resistant hose is manufactured in either
roughbore or smoothbore constructions.
Designed to offer flexibility, strength, and crush-resistance, this product is used for casing
or armor of small diameter hose and electrical cables.
