HIGH-TEMPERATURE FLEXIBLE COMPOSITE HOSE

摘要

A high-temperature composite hose (100) allows for the carrying out of high temperature air, gases and liquids in a range of 600 to 2000°F. The hose remains flexible at such elevated temperatures and may be used in situations where solid or flexible metal hose was previously used. The hose construction preferably includes a spirally wound inner wire element (10) over which is applied multiple layers (21, 23, 17) preferably beginning with a layer of heat resistant textile or fabric (21) and ending with a cover layer (17) which serves to provide abrasion and other resistance to the composite hose. A 2nd outer wire element (16) is preferably applied which, in connection with the inner wire element 10, serves to sandwich or compress and hold the heat resistant and other hose layers (21, 23, 17) together.
