Stainless Steel Overbraid
7701
Stainless Steel Overbraid 7701
Overview
Stainless Steel Overbraid. Standard sizes range between 6mm to 150mm but are also available up to 450mm. Suitable for covering and reinforcing any type of hose. Available in both 316 & 304 material grades.
Applications
Applications that require additional strength or protection in industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to chemical processing and construction, the need for reliable and resilient hose assemblies is paramount. Stainless steel overbraid is commonly used in the following scenarios:-
- High-Pressure Environments: In hydraulic systems and pneumatic applications, hoses must withstand high pressures. The overbraid prevents expansion and rupture under intense pressure, ensuring safety and performance.
- Extreme Temperatures: Hoses exposed to extreme heat or cold benefit from the thermal stability and heat resistance of stainless steel, which protects the inner hose material from degradation.
- Chemical Resistance: In chemical processing, hoses transport corrosive substances. The stainless steel overbraid provides a barrier that resists corrosion and prevents chemical permeation.
- Mechanical Protection: In environments where hoses are subject to abrasion, impact, or kinking, the overbraid offers robust mechanical protection, extending the lifespan of the hose.
- Aesthetic and Organisational Uses: In consumer applications, such as high-end automotive or motorcycle customization, stainless steel overbraid not only provides functional benefits but also enhances the visual appeal and organisation of hose assemblies.
