MHP Series: 316L Stainless Steel Flexible Metal Hose
Product Overview
The MHP Series 316L Stainless Steel Flexible Metal Hose is a high-end metallic flexible connector engineered for demanding applications involving high temperature, high pressure, strong corrosion, and high-purity requirements. Constructed from premium 316L stainless steel (00Cr17Ni14Mo2), it features a robust triple-layer composite structure. This design delivers exceptional corrosion resistance, temperature tolerance, high-pressure resilience, and flexibility, serving as a reliable bridge for fluid and gas transfer in critical environments across various industries.
Key Features & Benefits
Superior Corrosion Resistance: The 316L stainless steel base material offers excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive media, including strong acids, alkalis, and salt solutions.
Exceptional Temperature Tolerance: Engineered to perform reliably in a broad temperature range from -150°C to +400°C, suitable for both extreme cold and high-heat conditions.
High Pressure & Pulse Resistance: The combination of a corrugated inner tube and braided outer mesh provides high resistance to pressure, vacuum, and pulsating loads, ensuring durability in dynamic systems.
High Flexibility & Vibration Dampening: Excellent flexibility allows for easy installation in complex routing and tight spaces, while effectively absorbing vibrations and compensating for pipeline misalignments.
High Purity & Cleanability: The smooth inner surface minimizes fluid retention, making it ideal for high-purity applications and compatible with CIP/SIP cleaning processes.

Construction Details
Inner Core: Seamless corrugated tube made of 316L stainless steel, providing flexibility and pressure resilience.
Reinforcement: One or multiple layers of high-tensile stainless steel wire braid (316SS) over the core, enhancing pressure capacity and mechanical protection.
End Connections: Fabricated from 316L stainless steel, with options for SS304 based on specific requirements. Available in various types (e.g., Flanged, Threaded) and standards (e.g., DIN, ANSI, JIS).
Industry Applications
This versatile hose is designed for critical use in numerous sectors:
Chemical Industry: Transfer of aggressive media like strong acids (hydrochloric acid, nitric acid), strong alkalis (sodium hydroxide), and salt solutions (ammonium chloride). Connects reactors, storage tanks, and pumps in high-temperature systems (e.g., molten salt heat transfer, thermal oil circuits).
Pharmaceutical & Food Industry: Conveyance of high-purity water (WFI, purified water), pharmaceutical solutions (pH 3-9), edible oils, and alcohol (≤96%). Suitable for CIP/SIP systems. Food-grade certified versions are available for critical processes like juice concentration and dairy product sterilization.
Energy & Power: Applications in boiler steam venting, high-temperature fume extraction (≤600°C), gas pipeline compensation, and auxiliary systems in nuclear power plants (resistant to radioactive corrosion).
Machinery & Automation: Flexible connection for gas transmission (air, nitrogen) at compressor inlets/outlets, absorbing equipment vibration. Used for hydraulic oil and coolant lines in robotics and CNC machines.
