Spiral hose is a kind of tube-shaped shell with a corrugated spiral arrangement. There is a lead angle between two adjacent waves. All the waves can be connected by a helix.

Ring hose is a kind of tube-shaped shell with a closed circle corrugate. There are circular ripple concatenations between wave and waves. Ring-shaped metal hose is made by seamless pipes or welded pipe. Compared to the spiral hose, ring-shaped hose has a shorter single-tube length because of the processing constraints. Advantages of ring-shape  industrial air hose are good elasticity and small rigidity.

Main parts of stainless hose material use austenitic stainless steel in order to promise excellent heat-resistance and corrosion resistance of metal hose. Working temperature of stainless steel hose is -196-600℃ which is extremely broad. In actual using process, metal hose material selection should be based on pipe media corrosivity. This can ensure good corrosion resistance of metal hose.

Stainless steel hose has many advantages like corrosion-resistant, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, flexible, lightweight, strong seal ability and long service time. Stainless steel hose is widely used in many industries such as aviation, aerospace, petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, electricity, papermaking, wood, textile, construction, medicine, food, tobacco, transportation, steam, gas, air, heavy oil and oil.

Although the stainless steel  industrial hose pipe industry is a kind of supporting industry, it is an important component of basic manufacturing industries. Problems exposure in the rapid development of stainless steel hose cannot be ignored. Stainless steel hose is facing new opportunities and challenges.

With the outbreak of the American debt crisis and European debt crisis, high inflation and rising prices of raw materials made stainless steel hose companies suffer an unprecedented challenge. Some small businesses cannot afford a series of factors such as rising raw materials and rising labor costs. They choose to close the enterprise. International stainless steel hose markets show a momentum of developing into big business and big brands. This momentum will become more apparent in 2012. Stainless steel hose enterprises should pay more attention to enhancing the added value of products by improving product innovation ability.
