What is the difference and connection between metal hose and bellows?

Metal hose and bellows compensator main performance similarities and differences: Only air tightness a bellows is better than metal hose. Because the bellows are made of a monolithic material, the metallic hose is a flexible member that is wound with a stainless steel band, so that the problem of slight air leakage cannot be prevented. However, with the advancement of metal hose technology, its airtightness will also increase.
Applicable to steam, water, oil and various industrial gases, pharmaceuticals and other media transportation. The movement of the pipe system, metal hose has good flexibility and temperature, pressure, corrosion resistance. Thermal expansion absorption and vibration absorption play an important role.
Due to its superior performance, the model length and connection method are based on user requirements. Metal hoses are widely used in aviation, aerospace, oil pipelines and other devices. The scope of its application has rapidly expanded. The missile transfer vehicle is an important guarantee equipment for the entire missile preparation stage. The performance is directly related to the maneuvering capability of the missile transfer vehicle, and provides a strong guarantee for the launch of the entire missile launch position. The metal hose is an important part of the missile transfer vehicle. It is mainly used in the connection between the engine and the exhaust system. It mainly plays the role of reducing noise, absorbing vibration, and flexible connection.
Among them, stainless steel wire braided hoses, fluid-conveying metal bellows, stainless steel pumps with vibration-reducing hoses, stainless steel fire hoses, stainless steel corrugated compensators, and gas-fired mechanical stainless steel bellows fully comply with domestic industrial standards. Metal hose is characterized by corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance (-196°C～+420°C), light weight, small volume and good flexibility. Widely used in aviation, aerospace, petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, electric power, paper, wood, textile, construction, medicine, food, tobacco, transportation and other industries. Stainless steel metal hose (metal bellows) Division produced stainless steel metal hose, stainless steel bellows, stainless steel metal soft joints and so on.
