STRIPWOUND METAL HOSE AND ASSEMBLIESHOSE MASTERThe strip is formed into square shapes that are locked together. Squarelocked is flexibleand is primarily used as a protective covering for wires, fiber optic cables, and otherhoses.Packing may be added to interlocked hose to minimize leakage through the hose profile.The most effective packings are made from resilient materials such as elastomers and, to a lesser extent, cotton. Harder materials (stainless steel and copper) are also available if requested.The strip is formed with legs that interlock to form a hose that is flexible and ideally suited forconveying dry bulk materials, gas exhaust, or used as a protective cover.STRIPWOUND METAL HOSE OVERVIEW1Flow Stripwound metal hose is a rugged product made from a strip of steel that is profiled and continuouslywound around a mandrel to form a hose. Hose Master’s proprietary manufacturing process yields anextremely consistent and balanced profile that maximizes strength and flexibility. Stripwound hose isused as a guard, exhaust hose, and for the transfer of dry bulk materials. Designed to reduce damage to delicate materials, another steel strip is added inside aroughbore hose to provide a smooth interior surface. Smoothbore hose is also flexible and used for dry bulk conveying. Types of Stripwound Metal Hose ProductsDesigned for torque resistance and enhanced sealability, this product resists twisting, unwinding, and strip flare-up after cutting. Torque-resistant hose is manufactured in eitherroughbore or smoothbore constructions. Designed to offer flexibility, strength, and crush-resistance, this product is used for casingor armor of small diameter hose and electrical cables.Roughbore SmoothboreSmoothboreRoughbore InterlockedSmoothbore InterlockedFloppy SquarelockedFloppy InterlockedTorque-Resistant InterlockedPacked InterlockedRoughboreFlow Flow Tar & Asphalt (Heavy-Duty Packed Interlocked) .............................

Hose Master can provide the Relaxation Factor for each of our interlockedhose products.Interlocked metal hose is generally priced and defined in its extended state. Frequently, the hose designerthinks in terms of the relaxed state. This is especially true when using smoothbore hose, packed hose, and calculating assembly length. In these cases, the purchaser must define the state (relaxed) when placing anorder, OR multiply the desired (relaxed) length by its Relaxation Factor to order it as an extended length.Example: For a hose with a relaxation factor of 1.12To obtain a 20-foot relaxed length of hose, it can be ordered as 22.4 feet of extended product (20’ x 1.12). Additionally, if this extended length of hose weighs 3 lbs. per foot, and costs $4.00 per foot, then in the relaxedstate it will weigh 3.36 lbs. per foot (3 lbs. per foot x 1.12) and it will cost $4.48 per foot ($4.00 per foot x 1.12).Figure 1Figure 2Figure 3Various States of Hose LengthInterlocked metal hose can be Compressed (Figure 1) and Extended (Figure 3), and it is this ability that allowsthe hose to bend. The Relaxed Length (R) is defined as the average between the Extended Length (E) and the Compressed Length (C) of the hose (Figure 2), and is calculated as R=1/2 (C+E). When interlocked hose isbent as far as it can go, the outside surface of the hose is in the Extended state, while the inside surface is inthe Compressed state.800-221-2319 • www.hosemaster.comTAR & ASPHALT PRODUCTS ASSEMBLY LENGTH10FITTINGS FITTINGS11Male Pipe NippleAlloysT304 & T316 StainlessSteel, Carbon Steel, andAluminumSizeRange 1.5” - 8”Sch. 40 & 80Selecting the proper fittings for an application is largely determined by the mating fittings to which the hose assembly will be attached. Once the mating fittings have been identified, the hose fittings should complement themating fittings in type, size, and alloy. Even though the selection of hose fittings is determined by the mating fittings,it is a good idea to confirm that the fittings used are appropriate for the application. Ensure that the fittings are chemically compatible with the conditions in which the hose will be installed and used.The following pages cover a sampling of commonly used fittings for stripwound metal hose.

The fittings are internally expanded to provide an extremely smooth transition from the hose to the fitting and incorporate an internal silicone sealant for leak-free, positive pressure, or vacuum service (refer to page 13 for fabrication description).Flow-Tite has a weld-free design that ensures smooth flow while minimizing leakage. Because of their abilityto handle higher temperatures (up to 400º F) Flow-Tite assemblies can replace polyurethane and UHMW products. Flow-Tite is available in Ultraflex smoothbore or Interflex roughbore constructions.ReducerAlloys T304 & T316 StainlessSteel, Carbon SteelSizeRange 1.5” - 6”Sch. 10 & 40 (Carbon Steel)Beveled Pipe EndAlloysT304 & T316 StainlessSteel, Carbon Steel, andAluminumSizeRange 1.5” - 8”Sch.

When it is cut by traditional methods, the hoseend will also be helical, creating a gap between the fitting and the end of thehose. This gap can cause the fittings to separate from the hose during use.Square cutting the hose ends ensures that the hose and the fitting are flush.Interlocked metal hose is used in a variety of applications. Just as the hose, fittings, and other assemblyparts must be tailored to suit the demands of the service, so must the methods of joining these components.Hose Master has developed specialized fabrication procedures to ensure the integrity and serviceability ofmetal hose assemblies in even the most extreme applications.EpoxyFittings may be attached to interlocked hose using a two-part epoxy. An epoxied fitting-to-hose connection, made with properly prepared fittings, can beas strong as or stronger than the hose itself at service temperatures up to200ºF. Epoxy is recommended for packed interlocked hose to avoid damagingthe packing material. Epoxy also affords a convenient method for field attachment of a variety of fittings to interlocked hose.Welding/BrazingWelding provides the strongest possible connection between the hose andfittings. Whenever possible, the weld is made on the interior hose-to-fittingjoint, in order to provide a smooth surface over which the media flows. Weldingis generally not recommended for packed interlocked hose, as the packing maybe damaged by the high welding temperature.ID/OD WeldingWelding the interior hose-to-fitting joint provides for a smooth transition, preventing product from becoming damaged. Also, welding on the outside ofthe hose prevents exterior contamination from entering the crevice and provides additional strength.ACCESSORIESFABRICATION OPTIONS13Mechanical Attachment (Tar & Asphalt)Certain high-temperature applications, like tar and asphalt service, require afitting that actually threads and locks onto the hose corrugations. A high-temperature packing is used to seal against leakage. These fittings are leak-tight up to 500º F and are easily field attached.800-221-2319 • www.hosemaster.comFlow-Tite The internally expanded design eliminates the need for welded or epoxiedends, while providing a leak-free, full-flow connection. These fittings are idealfor use with packed stripwound hose in dense-phase pneumatic conveyingsystems, or whenever a smooth assembly interior is required.Flow ArrowsBraidTaggingCertificationsStripwound hose assemblies often require special accessories or components. Accessories may be used toimprove performance or to make the assembly easier to use or identify. Other accessories are available uponrequest, please contact Hose Master’s Inside Sales Department for details.Lay LineA straight painted line can be applied to interlocked hose along its entire length.The lay line serves to give clear warning to the user if the hose is being torqued ortwisted in service. Monitoring torsion or twisting of an assembly can significantly increase the service life of the hose.Smoothbore interlocked hose is uni-directional. Media flowing in the wrong direction can easily cause damage both to the hose and to abrasion-sensitivemedia, such as plastic pellets. Flow arrows are painted on all smoothbore hose toindicate the correct flow direction. In specific high-velocity applications, the flow direction may also become a factor in roughbore interlocked hose. Flow arrowscan be provided on roughbore hose upon request.For elevated working pressures, or for critical safety situations, a stainless steelbraid can be installed and welded over a stripwound hose assembly. The braidserves to prevent the hose from overextending, and protects the hose wall frombeing damaged. A variety of tags (metal, plastic, or cardboard) are readily available to record hoseidentification, service information, or any customer-specific information.Standard written certifications for materials or inspections can be supplied for stripwound hose or assemblies. Certifications of conformance to specific customer requirements and PMI (Positive Material Identification) are also available upon request.ACCESSORIES14800-221-2319 • www.hosemaster.comHOSE MASTER - SERVICEHOSE MASTER - ENGINEERING800-221-2319 • www.hosemaster.com• Our team of engineers is available to answer questions and provide solutions to the most complex applications• Available on-site assistance• Quick turnaround from concept to completionProduct EngineeringHose Master designs and manufactures its own products and proprietary production equipment, offering innovative solutions for demanding applications.Machine Design15HOSE MASTER - SERVICE800-221-2319 • www.hosemaster.comLarge inventories and fabricating resources enable us to respond quickly to customer demands.Manufacturing, Fabricating, and Stocking FacilitiesCleveland, OhioAtlanta, GeorgiaHouston, Texas16HOSE MASTER - PRODUCTS HOSE MASTER - QUALITY800-221-2319 • www.hosemaster.comTesting and CertificationsCanadian RegistrationNumberASME IXCertified WeldersPEDPressureEquipmentDirective17HOSE MASTER - PRODUCTS HOSE MASTER - QUALITY800-221-2319 • www.hosemaster.comStripwound Metal Hose and AssembliesCorrugated Metal Hose and AssembliesMetal Bellows and Expansion Joints1806/12 Rev. 4Copyright © 2010 by Hose Master, LLC All rights reserved1233 East 222nd Street • Cleveland, Ohio 44117(800) 221-2319 • Fax: (216) 481-7557 • www.hosemaster.comHOSE MASTER ISO 9001 Registered Quality SystemCleveland • Houston • Atlanta Stripwound Cover 1 Stripwound Catalog 110126 Rev4_Layout 1 Stripwound Cover 2
