The common connection methods of stainless steel flange metal hoses are as follows:
Flange connection
This is the most common way of connection. Flange plates are welded to both ends of the metal hose, and they are connected to the corresponding flanges on the pipeline or equipment through bolts. The advantages are firm connection, good sealing performance, the ability to withstand high pressure, and suitability for various industrial pipeline systems.
Ferrule connection
Use ferrule nuts and ferrules to connect the metal hose to the pipe or equipment. When installing, place the ferrule over the end of the metal hose, insert it into the connection port, and tighten the ferrule nut to deform the ferrule and hold the hose tightly, achieving a sealed connection. Its advantages are simple installation and easy disassembly, and it is often used in some pipeline systems that need to be disassembled and maintained frequently.
Quick installation connection
Generally, quick couplings are used to achieve connection, and the connection and separation can be completed through simple plugging, unplugging or rotating operations. This method is characterized by its rapidity and convenience, and is suitable for some occasions where the speed of installation and disassembly is highly demanded, such as clean pipeline systems in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries.
Welding connection
Weld the metal hose directly to the pipe or equipment. This connection method has excellent sealing performance and can withstand high temperatures and pressures. However, it is not easy to disassemble after installation and has high requirements for welding technology. It is often used in some fixed pipeline systems with strict sealing requirements.
