BOA PROTEX Strip wound metal hose Application fields: The protective hose PROTEX is a strip wound metal hose with double-strip profile, polygonal section, without gasket, limited tightness, therefore not recommended for conveying liquids and gases. Suitable for all-around movements, also in axial direction. Tolerates small torsion due to polygonal profile. Robust execution and resistant to vibration. Easy assembly. - as exhaust gas, ventilation and suction hose - for vibration and sound absorption in exhaust manifolds - applicable for small under-inflation, if a slight loss of air is tolerated - as inliner for pressure hoses operating very high flow rates, to prevent important pressure loss and too high sound emission. stainless steel 1.4301 (similar to AISI 304) Min. static bend radius Production length Preferred series, usually available at short term Other Ø on request. Length measure The hose or hose assembly length shall be measured in either midposition or in the extended position depending on the purchaser's requirements and shall be the length as ordered with a tolerance of ±3% unless otherwise stated (definition EN ISO 15465). The compressed measure length is 10–15% shorter, the installation length corresponds to the mid-position between extended and compressed cposition. Installation The connection from hose to machine parts or rigid pipes is realized with brazed or riveted sockets using or not a reduction. For frequent hose mounting to and demounting from the piping, we supply springy, slit, brazed sockets with clamp device. For smaller nominal sizes, as connecting parts rubber sockets may be glued on.
