Pressure Rating

N/A Pressure range 3250 psig to 185 psig operating pressure, depending on inside diameter and operating temperature (see Temperature Correction Chart below). Operating pressures based on 4:1 safety factor; operating pressure x 4 = rated minimum burst pressure at 70ºF (21ºC).

Metal hose is rated for full vacuum.

Specifying the Proper Metal Hose

N/A A number of factors should be taken into consideration when specifying 316L/304 Stainless Steel Metal Hose.

Material to be transferred

  • Select 316L or 304 stainless steel inner core, depending on the type of medium.
Corrosion potential
  • The corrosive nature of both the medium to be conveyed and the outside environment should be taken into account; the corrosive effects of many chemicals can be accelerated by higher temperatures.
  • If the material to be transferred is gaseous, flow rates should be specified, especially if velocity is to approach or exceed 180 feet per second.
  • Are the fittings to be of the same material?
Inside diameter (ID) of hose

Relationship of pressure rating, temperature and type of service
  • Operating pressures listed in the accompanying specifications chart (above) reflect a rating based on one braid reinforcement and a minimum safety ratio of 4:1. burst pressure to rated operation pressure.
  • Ratings are based on operating at ambient temperature 70ºF (21ºC). If your application exceeds this temperature, consult the temperature correction chart to calculate the adjusted pressure rating at your particular operation temperature.
Maximum service temperature
  • 316L stainless steel: +1500ºF (+815ºC)
  • 304 stainless steel: +850ºF (+454ºC)
