| AMNITEC STRIPWOUND
FLEXIBLE HOSE Stripwound Flexible metal hose was first manufactured in the UK by United-Flexible in 1890, long before the invention of rubber, plastic and corrugated metallic hose products. Stripwound hose is manufactured from a helically wound profiled strip. Available with or without packing, individual strips are connected together by overlapping and flexibility is obtained by the adjacent turns sliding on each other sizes from 1/8" to 17". When compared to other types of flexible hose, the stripwound product is known for it's strength, durability and ability to accept both axial and lateral movements.
Standard products available include those for: ENGINE EXHAUST APPLICATIONS Available with either a circular or polygonal cross section, these products are normally of the lock or wire packed interlock type. (Where constant diameter is critical, United-Flexible Polylock is recommended.) A full range of product sizes and weights are available in both stainless steel (for longer life and corrosion resistance) or galvanised steel (for limited life and low cost applications). All United-Flexible stripwound exhaust products are available in random or customer specified cut lengths. Typical application include commercial vehicle, passenger vehicle plus plant and portable generator set exhaust systems. LIQUID HANDLING APPLICATIONS SOLIDS HANDLING APPLICATIONS Available in either stainless steel or galvanised steel, this range of hoses are normally of the lock or interlock type and are designed for applications where a high resistance to wear and mechanical damage is required. They offer superior abrasion resistance compared to rubber hose, especially at high temperatures. This range is therefore particularly suited to conveying hot ash, or products where contamination must be avoided, such as granulated sugar, grain, animal feed or plastic pellets. These hoses must be used under suction or pressure and are available in a range of sizes and weights to suit small and large scale operations such as the transfer of product from ship to shore or from road/rail tankers to bulk storage silos. FLEXIBLE ELECTRICAL CONDUIT APPLICATIONS These products are designed to provide electrical cables or delicate optical fibres with maximum protection against mechanical damage. Liquid tight grades are also available to give additional protection against exposure to water, oils or other fluids. United-Flexible standard conduits are of the squarelock type manufactured in galvanised steel. For applications where product appearance, strength or corrosion resistance are important, a range of lock type products are available in stainless steel. United-Flexible conduits are available in either random lengths or standard coil lengths of 10, 15, 20 and 30 metres. A full range of end fittings are available for both the liquid tight and non liquid tight ranges. Amnitec's Application Engineering Department can offer expert advice on the selection of hose for particular applications. AmniTec Limited

United-Flexible hoses for liquids handling
applications are robust, highly resistant to mechanical damage and
are available in a full range of sizes and weights. The product
is particularly suited to conveying hot viscous liquids such as
tar or bitumen (as defined in BS6130) and is available in stainless
steel (for maximum strength and corrosion resistance) and galvanised
steel (for general duties and economy ). Typical applications include
the use of these hose assemblies as a temporary pipeline between
a fixed and moveable installation such as a storage tank and road
tanker.
