On the basis of choosing high-quality stainless steel wire material, Bellowman’s stainless steel wire braid was braided by the bunching machine and fits on the outer surface of the metal hoses, to reinforce the corrugated hose and increase the pressure-carrying capacity of the overall assembly. Additionally, the outer braid protects the inner hose from mechanical abrasion and helps to dampen vibration. According to the parameter setting during the process of braiding makes the braid fits tightly over the hose and is welded securely to its ends which provide excellent flexibility.

The stainless steel wire braid was provided in diameter from ¼" to 24". Typically, materials used for braiding are similar to the underlying hose but, can differ for each application. Each size of hose has maximum pressure rating which varies depending on single or double thickness of the braids.

Bellowman braid is inventoried in the standard materials of Type 304 and Type 316L stainless steel. Special alloy wires can be braided for you as per requirement.

Bellowman’s large inventory of standard braid means quick shipments are rarely a problem. Strict quality control system insures you that material composition and origin are never in question. Bellowman has combined years of manufacturing experience with the most technically advanced braiding equipment to provide you the finest, most consistent stainless steel wire braid available.
