Gassoinox Stainless Steel Hoses: a technical solution for demanding conditions

Gassoinox stainless steel hoses by Gassó are designed for industrial applications where high performance is required in terms of pressure, temperature, vibrations and demanding fluids. These stainless steel hoses are part of Gassó’s technical solutions for the safe transfer and conveyance of fluids in complex industrial environments.

Thanks to their fully stainless steel construction, Gassoinox hoses provide an optimal combination of mechanical strength, flexibility and durability, making them a reliable alternative to rigid piping or conventional hoses when service conditions are critical.

What is a flexible SS hose and when to use it

A flexible SS hose is a metallic conduit designed to absorb movements, vibrations and thermal expansion, allowing the safe transfer of fluids without compromising the integrity of the installation. Unlike other materials, stainless steel maintains its mechanical and chemical properties even under extreme operating conditions.

SS hoses are especially recommended for high-temperature applications, elevated pressures, aggressive fluids or when it is necessary to compensate for misalignment between equipment. For this reason, Gassoinox stainless steel hoses are widely used in industrial processes where reliability is a key requirement.

Construction of Gassoinox stainless steel hoses

Gassoinox stainless steel hoses are manufactured from a corrugated inner tube made of AISI 316 stainless steel, providing flexibility and excellent corrosion resistance. An external stainless steel braid is added to reinforce the hose against pressure and mechanical stress.

The Gassoinox range includes versions with one or two braids, as well as standard and superflexible designs. This allows each flexible SS hose to be adapted to the specific conditions of the application, balancing flexibility, working pressure and service life.

Technical performance of Gassoinox stainless steel hoses

Gassoinox stainless steel hoses stand out for their high technical performance, enabling their use in a wide range of industrial applications:

• Wide operating temperature range, both for hot and cold service.
• High working pressures, even under dynamic conditions.
• Reduced bend radii, facilitating installation in confined spaces.
• Excellent chemical resistance to a broad range of fluids.
• High resistance to mechanical fatigue and repetitive cycles.

These characteristics make Gassoinox flexible SS hoses a reliable solution for installations where service continuity and minimal maintenance are required.

Typical industrial applications

Stainless steel hoses are used across a wide variety of industrial sectors and applications, including:

• Conveyance of steam, hot water and thermal fluids.
• Transfer of air and industrial gases.
• Processes in the chemical and petrochemical industries.
• Refrigeration systems and cryogenic gas installations.
• Industrial applications requiring a high level of cleanliness and resistance.

Absorption of vibrations, thermal expansion and movement

One of the main advantages of flexible SS hoses is their ability to act as a flexible element within rigid piping systems. Gassoinox hoses absorb vibrations, thermal expansion and minor movements, protecting equipment such as pumps, heat exchangers, valves and compressors.

This function helps reduce stress on the installation, minimise failures and extend the service life of connected components.

Fittings, flanges and custom assemblies

Gassoinox stainless steel hoses can be supplied with a wide range of fittings and connections, adapted to the standards of each installation. Available options include DIN, ASA and BS flanges, as well as BSP and NPT threads.

Gassó also offers the possibility of manufacturing custom hose assemblies, defined according to drawings or technical specifications, providing a complete solution ready for installation.

Gassó manufacturing, assembly and quality control

As a specialised manufacturer, Gassó produces Gassoinox SS hoses under strict quality criteria. The process includes TIG welding in stainless steel, controlled assembly, and pneumatic and hydraulic testing to ensure tightness and correct performance of each hose.

Full control of the production process and product traceability allow Gassó to supply reliable stainless steel hoses, designed for long service life in demanding industrial applications.

Standards, certifications and service reliability

Gassoinox stainless steel hoses are designed to comply with applicable standards and the usual requirements of industrial installations. The combination of certified materials, controlled processes and final testing ensures high service reliability, even in critical applications.
