FLEXIBLE METAL HOSE ASSEMBLIES
We can supply finished Metal Hose Assemblies in sizes from 1/4″ up to 14″ in 321SS, 316SS, Alloy 400 and Nickel 625 alloy inner core with 321SS, 316SS, 304SS, Alloy 400 and Nickel 625 wire braid. From just a few hundred PSI up to several thousand PSI, Aero-Flex can build you the perfect hose for your next project.
We have many years of experience manufacturing metal hose assemblies with weld neck flanges, lap joint and stub end flanges, rigid pipe fittings, seamless and welded tube, AN, AS, MS or JIC fittings or pretty much any custom fitting you can throw at us. Aero-Flex will make sure your metal hose is delivered to you exactly how you expect it to and will be right the first time. Guaranteed!
Rigid Pipe Assemblies
Our piping systems are the perfect solution for delivering the fuel, coolants and lubricants needed to operate industrial equipment, while more efficient-energy power sources such as compressed natural gas (CNG) also require hard-wearing piping networks for extraction, production and transportation purposes.
Aero-Flex’s range of rigid pipe solutions includes solid piping systems and sub-assemblies ranging in sizes from 1/4″ up to 12″ in Schedule 5, 10, 40, 80 and 120 wall thicknesses, as well as versatile hybrid assemblies featuring both rigid piping and flexible components to meet the requirements of your specific project.
TUBE BENDING
We can bend sizes from 1/8″ up to 6″ welded or seamless tube in most wall thicknesses. Some projects require material specified for your particular application including AMS (Aerospace) and ASTM (Industrial) specifications. Aero-Flex can supply specific tube material to meet all of your drawing requirements. We have capabilities to work with carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel, titanium, aluminum, and other bendable materials.
We can supply you just the bent tubes or we can go a step further and complete the assembly. Whether its a 37° flare with a nut and sleeve all the way up to a custom machined or off the shelf fitting that is welded to each end of your assembly, we can complete your tube assembly for you and even pressure test or have NDT performed to your exact specifications and requirements.
SPECIALTY WELDING
It is very important to consider the metallurgy of the material you are welding and to completely understand the weld you are about to perform. That is why all welds performed at Aero-Flex go through a procedure qualification to make sure everything is dialed in before performing the actual weld on your product. This also may include tensile and bend tests to qualify the integrity of the test weld.
We specialize in welding Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Titanium (In our weld chamber), Nickel and other high end and high temperature alloys to the code or your exact specifications.
Unless otherwise specified by our customer, all of our Aerospace products are welded by AWS D17.1 certified welders and all of our Industrial products are welded by ASME B31.1 and ASME B31.3 certified welders.
PRECISION MACHINED PARTS
Aero-Flex can produce custom precision-machined fittings for use on some of our other products like metal hoses or tube assemblies and also can produce standalone precision machined parts in considerable volume, or customize one-of-a-kind parts and fittings for your prototyping projects. With flexibility and consistency, we create nonstandard parts from specialized materials and can repeat the process if needed again. You provide us with a drawing or 3D model and let us take care of the rest!
PTFE and Rubber Hoses
Aero-Flex works closely with Industrial PTFE and Rubber hose manufacturers like Parker Industrial, Eaton Industrial and Titeflex Industrial to supply you with hydraulic, air, chemical, water, food & beverage, material handling, oil & gas, petroleum, steam or even custom specialty hoses.
Some of the specifications Industrial hoses are manufactured by include SAE 100R1 through SAE 100R16 which includes Synthetic Rubbers, PTFE, Thermoplastics, Textile Braiding, and Stainless Steel Braiding to cover all types of applications, pressures and environments your hose assembly may encounter.
Aerospace Hoses
Aero-Flex also works closely with the Aerospace divisions of the above companies like Parker/Stratoflex, Eaton Aeroquip and Titeflex Aerospace to supply flight ready certified aircraft hose assemblies for a variety of aircraft and specific applications.
Aerospace hose assemblies are available in Smooth Bore or Convoluted with Stainless Steel Braid and are manufactured to Aerospace specifications that include AS620, AS1339, AS1946, AS4604 MIL-DTL-26626, MIL-DTL-25579, MIL-DTL-27267 just to name a few. Your Aerospace hoses will come assembled, pressure tested and with a manufacturers certificate of conformance so they can go right on your aircraft and get you back in the air as soon as possible with minimum down time.
