Stainless Steel Flexible Hose Pipes

ARK Stainless Inc. is a leading manufacturer of Stainless Steel Flexible Hose Pipes, designed for high-pressure, high-temperature, and vibration-critical industrial applications. Our ISO 10380 compliant corrugated hose assemblies are engineered using high-quality stainless steel grades to deliver exceptional flexibility, corrosion resistance, and long-term operational reliability in demanding process environments.

ARK Stainless Inc. manufactures Stainless Steel Flexible Hose Pipes designed to safely transfer fluids, gases, and steam in applications where rigid piping systems are exposed to movement, vibration, thermal expansion, or misalignment.
Our hoses are constructed using a corrugated stainless steel inner core combined with single, double, or multiple layers of stainless steel wire braiding, providing an optimal balance of flexibility, pressure resistance, and fatigue life. Each hose assembly is engineered to maintain leak-free performance even under severe operating conditions.
These hose assemblies are widely used across process industries, utilities, OEM systems, and heavy industrial installations, where reliability and safety are critical.

Design & Construction

Our stainless steel flexible hoses are manufactured with precision-formed corrugations that allow smooth axial and lateral movement while maintaining structural integrity.

Corrugated Stainless Steel Hose Ensures superior flexibility and flow stability under varying conditions.
Stainless Steel Wire Braiding Engineered to withstand high internal pressure and protect against external forces.
Precision-Machined End Fittings Guarantees secure and leak-proof connections for critical systems.
High-Quality Welding Executed to industry standards to ensure long service life and maximum safety.
The hose design minimizes stress on connected equipment such as pumps, heat exchangers, compressors, and piping systems.
