Notes:

*All Dimensions are in inches.

** When short pattern stub ends are used with larger flanges in Classes 300 and 600, and with most

sizes in Classes 900 and higher, and when long pattern stub ends are used with larger flanges in classes

1500 and 2500, it may be necessary to increase the length of the stub ends in order to avoid covering the

weld with the flange. Such increases in length shall be a matter of agreement between Manufacturer and

Purchaser.

*** When special facings such as a tongue and groove, male and female, etc., are employed, additional

lap thickness must be provided and such additional thickness shall be in addition to (not included in) the

basic length F.

**** These Dimensions conform to the radius established for lap joint flanges in ASME B16.5.

***** This dimension conforms to standard machined facings shown in ASME B16.5. The back face of the

lap shall be machined to conform to the surface on which it seats. Where ring joint facings are to be ap-

plied, use dimension K as given in ASME B16.5.

****** The lap thickness T shall not be less than nominal pipe wall thickness.

******* Gasket face finish shall be in accordance with ASME B16.5 for raised face flanges.

liner

A liner of interlocked hose can be installed inside of a standard corrugated assembly. This liner protects the corrugated hose from corrosive materials and reduces turbulence by keeping the hose separated from the media.

liner guard (bend restrictor)

This application has either interlocked or squarelocked hose on the outside of the corrugated assembly to protect against external abrasion, corrosive medias, or physical impacts. This design will increase the bend radius so that there is less flex in the hose.

jacketed cover assemblies

This application has a second layer of hose around the first, which is connected at its ends by spe-cialty fittings. This design is useful for high or cryogenic temperatures where the media does not contact the outer layer. The area between the two hoses can circulate media, like steam, to compen-sate for extreme temperatures.

tracer assemblies

Tracer applications are similar to Jacked assemblies, but the media is run through a U-shaped hose so that the longer travel allows for more temperature correction.

Classification of Motions

random motion

Such Motion is non-predictable and occurs from the manual handling of a hose assembly. Care must be taken to prevent over-bending of the hose and to avoid external abrasion of the wire braid. An armor covering of interlocked hose provides protection against these abuses.

axial motion

This Type of motion occurs when there is extension or compression of the hose along its longitudinal axis. This class of motion is restricted to unbraided corrugated hose only and is limited to small move-ments and short lengths of hose.

angular motion

This type of motion occurs when one end of a hose assembly is deflected in a simple bend with theends not remaining parallel.

Formula: L = [(πRØ)/180] + (2S)

Where:

L = Live Hose Length (inches)R = Minimum Centerline Bend Radius for constant flexing (inches)

Ø = Angular Deflection (degrees)S = Outside Diameter of hoseπ = 3.14159

pa g e 0 1 / 0 2

offset motion

Offset motion occurs when one end of the hose assem-bly is deflected in a plane perpendicular to the longitu-dinal axis with the ends remaining parallel.

USE THIS APPROPRIATE FORMULA

Formula: L = (20RT)1/2

Lp = ( L2 – T2)1/2

Where:

L = Live Hose Length (inches)Lp = Projected Live Hose Length (inches)R = Minimum Centerline Bend Radius for constant flexing (inches) T = Offset Motion to one side of Centerline (inches)

Note 1 : When the offset motion occurs to both sides of the hose centerline, use total travel in the formula; i.e. 2 times “T”.

Note 2 : The offset distance “T” for constant flexingshould never exceed 25 percent of the centerlinebend radius “R”.

Note 3 : If the difference between “L” and “Lp” is sig-nificant, exercise care at installation to avoid stress on hose and braid at the maximum offset distance.

traveling loops

In a piping system where axial movement must be accommodated or where the magnitude of the motion is in excess of the limits of an offset movement, the traveling loop configuration offers an

ideal solution. In traveling loops, the centerline of a hose assembly is bent in a circular arc. Traveling loops accommodate movement in one of two ways. A constant radius traveling loop accommodates motion by varying the length of the arms of the assembly while the radius remains constant. A variable radius traveling loop accommodates motion by varying the bend radius of the hose assembly. Both types of traveling loops can be installed to absorb either horizontal or vertical movement. The constant radius traveling loop provides for greater movement while the variable radius traveling loop requires less installation space.

Assembly Installation

avoid torque

Do not twist the hose assembly during installation when aligning the boltholes in a flange or in making up pipe threads. The utilization of lap joint flanges or pipe unions will minimize this condition. It is recommended that two wrenches be used in making the union con-nection; one to prevent the hose from twisting and the other to tighten the coupling.

preventing out-of-plane flexing in an installation

Always install the hose so that the flexing takes place in only one plane. This plane must be the plane in which the bending occurs.

pa g e 0 1 / 0 6

avoid over-bending

The repetitive bending of a hose to a radius smaller than the radius listed in the specification tables for corrugated hose will result in premature hose failure. Always provide sufficient length to prevent over bending and to eliminate strain on the hose.

Our corrugated hose is engineered to provide maximum service life when properly installed.

Improper installation, incorrect flexing or careless handling in an application will reduce the effective service

life of the hose and cause premature failure of an assembly. The following installation and handling

precautions should be observed to achieve optimum performance from your corrugated hose assemblies.

use common sense in determining the installation configuration.

Utilize sound geometric configurations that avoid sharp bends, especially near the end fittings of the assem-bly. When installing the assembly in a horizontal loop, provide support for the arms to prevent the hose from sagging.

pressure drop data and flow velocity information

pressure drop data graph

Pressure drop in a piping system is a result of resistance to flow, which is influenced by such factors as media velocity, pipe size, and the length of the piping system. Because of its convoluted profile, corrugated metal hose has a greater resistance to flow than smooth wall pipe. The graph shows the approximate pressure loss at various rates of water flow through straight sections of corrugated metal hose. For example, to determine the pressure loss through a 5 foot length of 2” id hose conveying 100 gallons of water per minute, locate the flow rate on the horizontal scale and project vertically to the intersection with the 2” id hose line. Then go horizontally to read the pressure loss on the vertical scale. Multiply the 5 foot hose length times the 0.9 psi loss per foot to determine the total pressure loss of 4.5 psi.

avoid careless handling of the hose assembly

Always lift or carry metal hose to prevent abrasion damage particularly to braided corrugated hose. Store metal hose assemblies away from areas where it can be subjected to spillage, corrosive fumes or spray, weld splatter, etc.

Page 42: THOMSON CANFLEX Flexible Metal Hose · Hose Specifications page 01 / 06 Our corrugated metal hose comes in a variety of materials and braid layers to suit your specific requirements

Assembly Installation

flow velocity consideration

The flow velocity in corrugated metal hose should never exceed 150 ft./sec. for gas or 75 ft./sec. for liquids. When a hose is installed in a bent condition, the flow values should be reduced proportionally to the degree of the bend. Where the flow velocity exceeds these rates, an interlocked metal hose liner is recommended.

selection criteria

The selection of flexible metal hose for a particular ap-plication is influenced by six primary considerations:

1 Pressure2 Temperature3 Media4 Motion5 Size6 End Fittings

To make the best choice for a specific application, consider all the relevant operating factors against the properties of the various types of flexible metal hose.

pressure

The nominal pressure rating of flexible metal hose varies according to type, material, and size. Specific pressure ratings for each type of flexible metal hose are found in each section of the catalogue. Under actual working conditions, pressure is affected by many other factors such as temperature, pulsation conditions, and bending stresses. The “Guide To Specification Table Headings” in the Corrugated Metal Hose Sec-tion explains how such factors specifically affect the properties of corrugated metal hose. Also, review the “Temperature Adjustment Factor Table” for adjusting pressure ratings at operating temperatures higher than 70˚F.

pa g e 0 4 / 0 6

temperature

The physical properties of any material varies with temperature. Limits for operating temperature are af-fected by the working pressure, the type of media being conveyed and the nature of the application. By careful selection of material, it is possible to provide flexible metal hose for a wide range of operating temperatures. The choice of hose type, metal alloy, end fitting, and method of fitting attachment determine the temperature limit.

motion

Flexible metal hose is generally used in four types of applications:

1 To correct problems of misalignment2 To provide flexibility in manual handing operations3 To compensate for regular or constant movement4 To absorb vibration

In all types, careful hose selection, design of the as-sembly, and installation are important for optimal service life. The flexibility of a hose is determined by its mechanical design and the inherent flexibility of its material.

media

The type of media being conveyed is an important consideration in the selection process. Metal hose is subjected to corrosion by both the material flowing through it and the outside environment. For almost all applications, a metal hose can be selected that is resistant to the intended media. Since metal hose is a thin-walled product, it will not have the same total life as heavier walled tube or pipe of the same material. The “Corrosion Evaluation Data” table pro-vides a guide to material selection.

Page 43: THOMSON CANFLEX Flexible Metal Hose · Hose Specifications page 01 / 06 Our corrugated metal hose comes in a variety of materials and braid layers to suit your specific requirements

Assembly Installation

end fittings

The use of flexible metal hose is complimented by the extensive range of end fittings that are available. Such end fittings may be male or female pipe threads, unions, flanges, flared tube fittings or other specially designed connectors. End fittings are at-tached by welding, silver brazing, soldering, and oc-casionally by mechanical means, depending on the type of hose and the alloy. For further detail on the appro-priate type of end fitting please consult your fabricat-ing distributor.

size

The size of flexible metal hose is specified by the nomi-nal diameter. The existing piping will normally dictate the size of the metal hose for a particular application. However, flow rate, velocity, and pressure drop consid-erations may also influence the selection of the hose size.

maximum service temperatures

The component of a metal hose assembly with the lowest temperature rating as shown in this chart determines the maximum service temperature of that assembly.

pa g e 0 5 / 0 6

temperature adjustment factors

In general, the strength and therefore the pressure rating of metal hose decreases as the temperature in-creases. Thus, as the operating temperature of a metal hose assembly increases, the maximum allowable work-ing pressure of the assembly decreases. The pressure rating shown in the specifications chart for corrugated and interlocked hose are valid at 70˚F. Elevated service temperatures will decrease these pressure ratings by the factors shown in the following chart. What also must be considered is the maximum working temperature of the end fittings, of the hose and their method of attachment.

For Example :

To calculate the maximum working pressure for ¾” ID single braided stainless steel corrugated hose at 800 °f.

From the corrugated metal hose specification table, the maximum working pressure at 70°f is 775 psig. Multiply 775 psig by 0.66. The maximum working pressure at 800°f is 511 psig.

Interlocked Metal Hose pa g e 0 1 / 1 0

hose fundamentals

Our interlocked metal hoses are made for a variety of specialized industrial applications and are available in a wide range of metals, styles and sizes.

Interlocked hose is manufactured by helically wind-ing preformed metal strips over a sizing mandrel and folding together the adjacent edges forming the interlocked convolutions. A packing material may be inserted into a preformed groove within the interlock to make the hose pressure tight or to minimize leak-age. This Packing forms a continuous gasket seal throughout the entire length of the hose.

Flexibility is achieved through the sliding action which is provided by the slip-space within each in-terlocked convolution. The limits of axial elongation or compression are established when the convolu-tions are all fully opened or are all fully closed. Similarly, the minimum bend radius is achieved when the convolutions on the outside of the bend are fully opened, and those on the inside of the bend are fully closed. Considerable force is required to exceed these limitations. However, if the hose is forced beyond these limits, it will be permanently deformed.

Certain styles of non-pressure hose are designed to minimize metal-to-metal contact within the inter-locked convolutions, and are therefore very flex-ible. Conversely, pressure hose is considerably less flexible since the forces necessary to compress the packing material produce a greater resistance to the sliding action.

description

Our M-100 pressure hose is a high quality, heavy duty, fully interlocked metal hose designed to withstand the abuse of many industrial applications. The inclusion of a quality packing into a specially formed groove during manufacturing serves as a continuous gasket to make the hose pressure tight. Such media as air and non-searching fluids can be conveyed by M-100 hose at moderate pressure and temperatures. For technical data refer to the appro-priate specification tables.

end fittings

The high temperatures encountered in welding pipe and flanges to M-100 hose destroys the packing within the convolutions adjacent to the weld area. “Titepak” and “Packed & Welded” fittings were developed to seal this damaged section by providing a box and gland arrangement for the application of corrective packing after the fitting has been welded onto the hose. These fittings are available as rigid or floating flanges and as beveled, and NPT threaded pipe ends.

specifications

M-100 pressure hose is produced in type 304 stain-less steel. I.D. sizes range from ¾” through 28”. In addition to the column headings defined in the “Guide to Interlocked Hose Specification Tables,” the following terms are included in the specifica-tions table for M-100 pressure hose.

Nominal Burst Pressure is the PSIG pressure at which the hose can be expected to rupture. This rating is predicated upon the hose being installed straight and motionless, and subjected to internal hydrostatic pressure at 70 °f.

Maximum Working Pressure is the PSIG pressure at 70 °f to which the hose should be subjected while operating under moderate bending, motion, and flow conditions. This rating represents the applica-tion of 3 to 1 safety factors against the nominal burst pressure. If more sever operating conditions are anticipated, the use of a 4 to 1 or a 5 to 1 safety fac-tor is recommended.

Elevated operating temperatures require the ap-plication of a temperature adjustment factor to the maximum working pressure at 70 °f. Refer to the “Temperature Adjustment Factor Table” in the “De-sign Considerations” section of this catalogue.

applications

M-100 pressure hose is an ideally suited hose for metal expansion joints, boiler relief valve sealing, pulverized coal cyclone feeders, boiler draft sys-tems, and BOF lance hose assemblies. Addition-ally, M-100 pressure can be used in applications involving diesel exhaust, tank car unloading, barge unloading, fuel oil transfer, oven exhaust, suction lines, and air intake lines.

description

Square locked hose is an extremely flexible type of metal hose. The square locked construction of the hose enables it to conform to a very small bend radius. Square locked hose can be produced with or without packing. While the hose is not pressure tight, packed square locked hose will con-tain liquids at gravity flow and can be considered moisture resistant.

end fittings

This type of interlocked hose is normally furnished without end fittings.

specifications

Square locked hose is manufactured in galvanized steel and stainless steel in a size range from 5/32” to 3/4” inside diameter

applications

Applications for square locked hose include wir-ing conduit for electrical and electronic equipment, electronic shielding tubing, protective casing, and flexible spouts.

Conduit is made in two configurations, or constructions, commonly called SquareLok and InterLok, and is often abbreviated as SL and FI. Standard Conduit is made from 304 stainless steel. Other metals are avail-able. Conduit is different from the Square Locked Hose shown on the previous page in that it is:

(1) Highly flexible (2) Floppy (3) Clean for oil free use

squarelok style (sl)

SquareLok tubing is produced from a continuous metal strip, and is held in position by locking one leg of one profile over the leg of the adjacent profile.

Corrosion Evaluation Data pa g e 0 1 / 0 9

This information may be used as a guide for the selection of flexible metal hose and of fitting material suitable

for conveying the substances listed. However, this data should not be construed as advice to use or not use

without further testing or investigation since variations in service conditions can influence resistance to cor-

rosion. The corrosion resistance of tin-lead solder, brass brazing, and silver brazing alloys used to attach end

fittings to metal hose may be considered equal to bronze in the table. Joints produced by welding end fittings to

steel, stainless steel, and monel hose may be considered equivalent to the corrosion resistance of the compo-

nent parts.

interpretation of corrosion data

Class 1 Resistant Less than 0.00035 inch penetration per month

Class 2 Partially Resistant Between 0.00035 to 0.0035 inch penetration per month

Class 3 Non-Resistant Greater than 0.0035 inch penetration per month

* Subject to decomposition (forming HCI) in presence of moisture.** Subject to pitting at air line or when allowed to dry.*** Subject to attach in presence of H2SO4.
