Metal Hose for Oil & Gas

We manufacture Metal Hose for Oil & Gas applications, including refineries, petrochemical plants, process equipment, pump systems, compressor units, gas handling systems and OEM machinery.

Oil and gas equipment often operates under demanding combinations of pressure, temperature, vibration, movement and corrosive media. Flexible metal hose can provide a reliable metallic connection where rigid piping cannot easily accommodate equipment movement or vibration.

Our product range includes:

• Corrugated stainless steel metal hose
• Braided metal hose
• High-pressure metal hose
• High-temperature metal hose
• Flexible hose assemblies
• Custom OEM hose assemblies
• Replacement metal hose

We can manufacture hose assemblies according to drawings, samples, operating conditions and connection requirements.

Customers can customize the hose material, diameter, braid configuration, assembly length and end fittings according to their equipment.

Metal Hose Solutions for Oil & Gas Applications

Oil and gas systems involve many different operating conditions.

A hose that works well around a pump may not suit a high-temperature process line or a corrosive chemical stream.

For this reason, our team evaluates the complete application before recommending a hose configuration.

Important factors include:

• Working pressure
• Operating temperature
• Process media
• Corrosion conditions
• Movement
• Vibration
• Hose diameter
• Assembly length
• Connection standard

This application-based approach helps customers select the hose according to actual operating requirements rather than diameter alone.

Corrugated Metal Hose for Oil & Gas Systems

Corrugated stainless steel hose provides flexibility through its formed metal structure.

Engineers commonly use corrugated hose where equipment movement, vibration or installation conditions make rigid piping difficult.

Typical applications include:

• Pump connections
• Compressor systems
• Process equipment
• Oil transfer systems
• Gas handling equipment
• Skid-mounted units
• Thermal equipment
• Petrochemical machinery

The corrugated structure allows controlled movement while maintaining a continuous metallic flow path.

For applications that require additional pressure support, we can add stainless steel wire braid around the hose.

Braided Metal Hose for Pressure Applications

A braided metal hose combines a corrugated inner hose with one or more layers of stainless steel wire braid.

The braid helps control pressure-induced elongation and improves the mechanical stability of the assembly.

Customers can choose:

• Single-braided metal hose
• Double-braided metal hose
• Custom reinforced hose assemblies

Oil and gas buyers often use braided configurations around pumps, compressors, process lines and equipment interfaces.

The correct braid structure depends on the working pressure, temperature, hose diameter and movement conditions.

Our team evaluates these parameters together before recommending a configuration.

Metal Hose for Refineries

Refineries operate complex piping systems that handle oils, gases, steam and process fluids under different temperatures and pressures.

Flexible metal hose can support selected connections around:

• Pumps
• Compressors
• Process equipment
• Heating systems
• Skid units
• Utility systems
• Transfer lines
• Maintenance replacement projects

A flexible connection can help reduce vibration transfer and accommodate limited movement between equipment and rigid piping.

Customers should provide the exact media and operating conditions before selecting the stainless steel grade and hose construction.

Metal Hose for Petrochemical Plants

Petrochemical plants often process hydrocarbons, solvents and chemical media in demanding environments.

Engineers may use stainless steel hose for flexible equipment connections where temperature, vibration and corrosion resistance matter.

Typical applications include:

• Chemical transfer
• Process lines
• Pump connections
• Reactor equipment
• Tank connections
• Gas systems
• Utility piping

Material compatibility plays an important role in petrochemical applications.

Customers should provide the media composition, concentration, operating temperature and pressure whenever possible.

These details help our team evaluate whether SS304, SS316L, SS321 or another material best matches the application.

Pump Connections

Pumps generate vibration and mechanical movement during operation.

Rigid piping can transfer this vibration into nearby equipment and pipeline supports.

A properly selected flexible metal hose can help reduce vibration transfer between the pump and connected piping.

Engineers commonly use flexible hose around:

• Crude oil pumps
• Process pumps
• Transfer pumps
• Chemical pumps
• Cooling pumps
• Auxiliary equipment

Correct hose length, bend radius and installation geometry help improve long-term performance.

Compressor Connections

Compressors can create continuous vibration, pressure fluctuations and temperature changes.

Flexible stainless steel hose can support connections between compressors and fixed piping systems.

Typical applications include:

• Gas compressor units
• Process compressors
• Refrigeration compressors
• Skid-mounted compressor systems
• Auxiliary gas equipment

For compressor applications, customers should provide pressure, temperature, vibration conditions and connection details.

Oil Transfer Applications

Metal hose can support selected oil-transfer applications where temperature, flexibility or fire-resistant metallic construction provides an advantage.

Applications may include:

• Lubricating oil systems
• Hydraulic oil transfer
• Process oil systems
• Hot oil equipment
• Machinery lubrication
• Industrial oil handling

The exact hose configuration depends on the oil type, operating temperature and pressure.

Gas Handling Systems

Gas systems require careful attention to connections, leakage requirements and operating pressure.

Flexible metal hose can support selected gas connections in:

• Industrial gas equipment
• Compressor systems
• Gas handling units
• Process machinery
• Laboratory systems
• OEM equipment

Customers should specify the gas type, pressure, temperature and leakage requirements before production.

Why Use Metal Hose in Oil & Gas Equipment?

Pressure Capability

Braided stainless steel hose can provide additional pressure support compared with an unbraided corrugated hose.

The actual pressure capability depends on hose diameter, braid construction, temperature and fittings.

High-Temperature Performance

Stainless steel performs well in many elevated-temperature environments.

This makes metal hose suitable for selected hot oil, steam and thermal process applications.

Vibration Absorption

Flexible hose can help reduce vibration transfer from pumps, compressors and rotating machinery.

Corrosion Resistance

Stainless steel provides useful corrosion resistance in many industrial environments.

Customers can select different stainless steel grades according to the media and process conditions.

Flexible Installation

Metal hose can simplify equipment connections where rigid piping creates alignment or installation difficulties.

Thermal Movement

Oil and gas process equipment can experience dimensional changes as temperatures rise and fall.

Flexible metal hose can accommodate limited thermal movement when engineers select the correct hose length and installation geometry.

Custom Metal Hose Manufacturing for Oil & Gas

Oil and gas equipment often uses non-standard dimensions and specialized connections.

We manufacture custom metal hose assemblies according to customer drawings, samples and technical specifications.

Customers can customize:

Stainless Steel Materials

Metal Hose From Drawings or Samples

Oil and gas maintenance projects often require replacement components for older equipment.

Customers can send us:

• Existing hose assemblies
