6 FLEXIBLE METAL HOSE PRODUCTS TECHNICAL DATA TEMPERATURE CORRECTION FACTORS As the service temperature increases, the maximum pressure a hose assembly can withstand decreases. The material from which the hose is made and the method of fitting attachment (mechanical, soldered, welded, silver brazed) determines the maximum pressure at which an assembly can be used. By using the factors given in the chart below, the approximate safe working pressure at elevated temperatures can be calculated for assemblies with welded or mechanically attached fittings. Temperature Correction Factors SS34/34L SS36L Saturated Steam Pressure to Temperature (Hg) Saturated Steam Pressure to Temperature TEMP ºF SS3 IN of Hg TEMP ºF PSIG TEMP ºF Hose Specification Example Type: FMH7 Size: 3/4 ID Corrugated Material: SS3 Braid Material: SS34L Number of Braid Layers: Single Temperature: 8ºF CALCULATING THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE The FMH7 specification table lists the 3/4 ID, Single Layer Braid, Maximum Working Pressure at 7ºF at 79 PSIG. Multiply 79 PSIG by.73 (8ºF for SS34L listed on the Temperature Correction Factor Table) and the result will be a maximum working pressure of 578 PSIG at 8ºF

7 FLEXIBLE METAL HOSE PRODUCTS ANNULAR CORRUGATED HOSE PITCH All AEROCOM annular hose is available in Open, Standard and Extreme Flex pitch OPEN PITCH STANDARD PITCH EXTREME FLEX PITCH Open Pitch has fewer corrugations per foot than Standard Pitch. This hose will not be as flexible and will have a much lower flexing cycle life. Open Pitch hose is intended to be used in less severe applications where flexibility and cycle life are not an important requirement or an effective method for dampening vibration. Corrugated metal hose is normally manufactured in Standard Pitch (Close Pitch). Each manufacturer specifies a standard number of corrugations per foot based on their desire to provide for acceptable flexibility while considering economic requirements. Extreme Flex Pitch allows greater flexibility without thinning the wall of the hose by increasing the number of corrugations per foot. Extreme Flex Pitch will normally have a higher flexing cycle life and can be used in more severe applications where ease of flexibility is important. CONSIDERATIONS WHEN SELECTING A FLEXIBLE METAL HOSE FOR A PARTICULAR APPLICATION Temperature The physical properties of any material vary with temperature. Working pressure, the type of media being conveyed and the nature of the application are what affect the limits for operating temperature. Flexible metal hose can be used for a wide range of temperatures given that the material is selected carefully. The temperature limit depends upon the hose type, metal alloy, end fittings and the method of fitting attachment choices. Pressure The nominal pressure ratings of flexible metal hose vary according to type, material and size. Pressure is affected by many other factors such as temperature, pulsating conditions and bending stresses, under actual working conditions. Media The type of media being conveyed through the hose is important to consider during the selection process. Metal hose can be corroded by the material flowing through it and the outside environment. A metal hose can be selected that is resistant to the proposed media for almost all applications. Since metal hose has a thin wall, it will not have the same total life as a heavier walled tube or pipe. End Fittings There is an extensive range of end fittings available for flexible metal hose. These end fittings include male and female pipe threads, unions, flanges, flared tube fittings or other specially designed connectors. End fittings are attached by welding, silver brazing, soldering or other by other mechanical means, depending on the type of hose. Motion Flexible metal hose is used in four types of applications: To correct misalignment To provide flexibility in manual handling operations To compensate for regular or constant movement To absorb vibration In all types, careful hose selection, design of the assembly and installation are important for optimal service life. Mechanical design and the flexibility of its material determine the flexibility of a hose. To make the best choice for a specific application, consider all the relevant operating factors against the properties of the various types of flexible metal hoses. Size The size of flexible metal hose is specified by the nominal diameter. When choosing a metal hose for a particular application, the existing piping will normally dictate the size needed. Flow rate, velocity and pressure drop considerations may also influence the selection of the hose size.
