SS Braided Bellows: The Complete Guide by SS Flexhose

In industries where vibration, thermal expansion, and high pressure are constant challenges, SS braided bellows emerge as a reliable and durable solution. Also known as stainless steel braided expansion joints, braided bellows, or SS braided flexible hoses, these components are essential for safe and efficient piping systems.

At SS Flexhose, we specialize in high-performance stainless steel flexible hoses and SS braided bellows that meet the demanding needs of industrial, automotive, and commercial applications.

What is an SS Braided Bellow?

An SS braided bellow is a stainless steel corrugated hose with braid reinforcement. The corrugated tube provides flexibility, while the SS braid (woven stainless steel wire) adds strength, pressure resistance, and protection from overextension.

Common terms include:

• Stainless steel braided bellow

• SS braided expansion joint

• SS braided flex hose

• SS braided stainless hose

• SS braided hose assemblies

• Double braid SS bellow (for extra pressure resistance)

• Single braid SS bellows (for moderate applications)

These bellows are designed to absorb vibration, compensate for thermal expansion, and handle misalignment in piping systems.

Benefits of Stainless Steel Braided Bellows

• Corrosion resistance with SS 304, SS 316, SS 321, and other grades

• Flexibility with durability for both axial and lateral movement

• High pressure capability thanks to SS braided wire hose construction

• Noise and vibration absorption in machinery and pipelines

• Extended fatigue life compared to unbraided hoses

• Suitable for liquid, gas, steam, and chemical transfer

Whether you need a braided flexible metal hose, a stainless steel braided pipe, or a metal expansion bellow with braid, SS Flexhose has a solution.
