The difference between flange metal hose and grooved metal hose

The difference between flange metal hose and grooved metal hose
Metal hose is a kind of sheathing material used for various pipeline connections, mainly used to protect equipment and pipelines from the outside environment. In the selection of metal hose, flange metal hose and groove metal hose are the two main types, the difference between them are as follows:
1. Use
Flange metal hose is mainly used to protect equipment and pipelines, such as automobile engines, air conditioning ducts, ventilation systems, power transmission, etc.. Its purpose is to prevent engine oil, condensate, refrigerant, etc. from leaking and to protect equipment and pipelines from damage.
Grooved metal hose, on the other hand, is mainly used for decorative and recreational purposes. It is usually used for pipeline connections, such as TV antennas, sound systems, air conditioning ducts, etc. Grooved metal hose can be easily inserted or pulled out of the pipe, increasing the aesthetic appearance.
 
2. Structure
The structure of flange metal hose is the same as ordinary metal hose, mainly composed of inner layer and outer layer. The inner layer is usually composed of stainless steel, and the outer layer is composed of 7075 aluminum foil or 7095 aluminum foil, these materials can protect the inner layer from wear or damage.
Grooved metal hose, on the other hand, uses a special design. Its structure resembles a groove and allows for easy positioning and connection when inserting or pulling out of the pipe. The outer layer is usually composed of 7075 aluminum foil, but the depth of its grooves is deeper than that of ordinary metal hoses, which can protect the pipe better.
 
3. Material
Flange metal hose and groove metal hose selection of materials are also different. Usually, the flange metal hose use stainless steel or 7075 aluminum foil as the inner material, while the groove metal hose use 7095 aluminum foil. The different performance of these two materials will also affect their service life and aesthetics.
 
4. Use
The use of flange metal hose and groove metal hose is also different. In general, flanged metal hoses are suitable for protecting equipment and piping, while grooved metal hoses are suitable for decorative and recreational use. The use may also be different. Flanged metal hose is a sheathing material used for various pipeline connections, mainly for protecting equipment and pipelines from the outside environment.
