Metallic Hoses

Specification	According to which the hose assembly is manufactured
Annular Core	Designed so that each convolution is a complete circle or ring
Close Pitch	Less spacing between the corrugations, thereby giving longest fatigue life and minimum bend radius
Braid	Woven wire sheath placed over hose which prevents elongation of the hose under internal pressure
Fittings	Parts attached to the ends of metal hose so that it can be connected to other components like flanges, unions, stub ends, nipples
Constant flexing bend radius	The minimum radius to which a hose can be repeatedly bent and render satisfactory flexure life
Operating conditions	Pressure, Temperature, Media, Motion and application involved
Max. Test Pressure	Max. Pressure for testing purpose. Based on 150% of the max. working / design pressure
Media	Material conveyed by the hose assemblies such as chemicals, gases, liquids
Working temperature	Temperature which hose is subjected to during operation
Rated Burst Pressure	The pressure at which the hose assembly can be expected to fail
Safety Factor	Difference between working pressure and rated burst pressure
