Engineering Calculators for Metal Hose Assemblies

Use these preliminary engineering calculators to evaluate the inputs that directly affect braided corrugated metal hose selection: temperature derating, thermal movement, live hose length, bend radius, fluid velocity, and pressure drop. Final product suitability still depends on the complete hose construction, braid count, fittings, pressure, temperature, media, movement, cycle requirements, and installation geometry.

Pressure & temperature

Metal Hose Pressure Derating

Apply a validated temperature reduction factor to an approved ambient or base working pressure.

Open Pressure Calculator
Movement

Thermal Expansion & Hose Offset

Calculate preliminary pipe growth and convert movement into a minimum flexible-hose live-length review.

Open Movement Calculator
Flow

Velocity & Pressure Drop

Estimate velocity, Reynolds number, friction factor, straight-run losses, minor losses, pressure drop, and head loss.
