Metal and stainless-steel bellows

Production of high-pressure metal hoses designed to ensure flexible connection between the pipes of the system in order to release mounting, thermal and vibration stresses generated inside the stiff pipelines.


Such hoses ensure transportation of different chemical gaseous substances and liquids under temperature -270 up to +600 ºCwith vacuum pressure about 44,0 MPa.

The NPO “GKMP” is particularly focused on production of high-pressure metal hoses designed to ensure a flexible connection between the pipes of the system in order to release mounting, thermal and vibration stresses generated inside the stiff pipelines. Such hoses ensure the transportation of different chemical gaseous substances and liquids within the temperature range from -270 up to +600 ºC and with vacuum pressure about 44.0 MPa.

Bellow types

Bellow is an internal part of a metal hose that ensures flexibility exposed to leak tests while production process.

Used for the majority of machine control systems.
Standard bellow is used in most cases. Its bending radius and strenghtare fit for any common purpose of a metal hose used.

In less critical areas, with or without low pressure
One can use a lightweight bellow in less critical areas (for example, those with low operating pressure or when a bellow is used as protective device or to shield wiring, for instance, in an unpressurized system).

If necessary, increase the flexibility of the standard sleeve
In cases where the bending radius is not sufficient, a bellows with increased flexibility is used, achieved by changing the pitch of the bellows, or by compressing it. The strength characteristics are somewhat reduced at the same time.

in particularly critical areas with increased requirements for operating pressure in the systems
When selecting a sleeve, it is necessary to take into account the parameter of the operating pressure of the system, if insufficient according to the characteristics of a standard bellows for this indicator, you can apply a double (or even triple) outer braid, or use a high-strength bellows (reinforced).

Braid types

Braid is an external part of a bellow that consists of stainless-steel wire strands over 0.3 mm thick, depending on diameter.

Stainless-steel metal hoses are braided with cutting-edge braiding machines. Braid operates not only as the shielding that protects the internal flexible bellow of the metal hose from mechanical damage and aggressive environment.

A high-pressure metal hose braid is a crucial component that has a direct effect on technical characteristics of the end item, especially its ability withstand the required operating pressure: when a metal hose with a single braid is not strong enough (one layer of wire strands), one puts the second or even the third one.

0 - unbraided
1 - single braid
2 - double braid
3 - triple braid
