MANUFACTURING STAGES OF FLEX HOSE

Flex Hose begins its manufacturing journey as ”stainless sheet strip” which is manufactured very precisely regarding its chemical content, cutting & surface quality, smoothness, thickness, etc.

Then, it is welded on a production line uninterruptedly with any method such as TIG, Laser, Plasma, etc. and it turns into a pipe. Afterwards, it becomes a flexible hose on the same line, with its corrugations on it, via hydraulic or mechanical forming. Right after this, it is subjected to a leakage test.

If it is going to be dispatched immediately after coiling and packing, then the “hose” becomes a product, e.g. solar flex hoses. On the other hand, if it is going to be delivered as a “ flexible hose assembly” it must pass through at least one of the stations mentioned below. During these processes, the semi-finished products are subjected to one or several leakage tests. In other words, each product will have been tested at least 2 times in total without any exceptions.
