Stainless Steel Braided Hose Dubai
Why use Stainless Steel braids?
SS braids are used mainly to enable the stainless steel hoses to withstand higher internal working pressure of the media and also to combat elongation of the hose due to the pressure.
An unbraided Stainless Steel hose may stretch and elongate and even bend a bit due to high working pressures. An unbraided hose may have potentially serious safety risks and also reduced performance levels which may also affect the service life of the hose.
Stainless Steel Braiding on these hoses helps to limit the elongation and increases the internal strength of the hose, thereby increasing the life of the hose thus saving costs in the long run.

Other applications for Stainless Steel Braiding.
A Stainless Steel braiding has superior resistance to abrasion, chemicals and UV that make it ideal for outdoor applications. Due to it’s flexible nature, it is popular in use for expansion joints where there is constant axial movement. Moreover stainless steel braiding will not rust or discolour over time. Extremely high melting temperature of stainless steel makes it an ideal sleeving material for uses in high temperature applications. Stainless Steel braiding may be used as a sleeve, to protect hoses and even cable from corrosion and wear.
Stainless Steel braids have several applications in the Oil and Gas industry especially in marine environments including for power distribution, Lightning protection and earthing systems. Stainless Steel inherent resistance to corrosion leads to shorter down times, increased productivity. Flexible braids are easier to install than solid metal components and suitable for high vibration environments.
Stainless Steel braids can be suitable replacements for copper in sulphurous environements and even for inter connection of stainless steel components aimed at reducing the effects of galvanic corrosions.
Some Industrial designs use stainless steel braids in the construction industry to connect facades to earth bars and lightning rods as the flexibility of the braids allows for on site connection to irregular shapes. Stainless Steel provides a material that is corrosion resistance that with minimal maintenance will last the life of the structure.
