The pressure that stainless steel metal hoses can withstand varies due to various factors.
In terms of the structure of the hose itself, the number of layers and thickness of the corrugated pipe have a significant impact on its pressure resistance capacity. Generally speaking, single-layer corrugated stainless steel metal hoses can withstand relatively low pressures, approximately between 0.6 and 1.6MPa. The hose with a multi-layer corrugated pipe structure will have a significantly enhanced pressure resistance, possibly reaching 2.5-4.0MPa or even higher.
The diameter of the hose is also a factor. Under the same material and structure, hoses with smaller diameters can relatively withstand higher pressure. For instance, a stainless steel hose with a diameter of 10mm may withstand a pressure of up to 4MPa, while one with a diameter of 50mm may only be able to withstand a pressure of around 2MPa.
In addition, the wire braid will also affect the pressure resistance. Stainless steel metal hoses with high-quality, high-braided density mesh sleeves will have enhanced pressure resistance. For instance, a tightly woven steel wire mesh sleeve can effectively prevent the bellows from over-expanding under high pressure, thereby enhancing the overall pressure resistance limit.
