Exhaust gas hoses
The unbeatable Masterflex spiral hoses carry gaseous media in a temperature range up to around 1,100 °C completely safely. As a responsible person, you know that even below this maximum hot gas temperature, it can quickly become very hot when exhaust gases are extracted. For example, when engines are being serviced or tested. Thanks to the use of heat-resistant fabrics, our clip hoses are ideal for use in high-temperature applications . Find out more about the right exhaust gas hoses.
Our safety and quality requirements and our experienced employees enable you to find exactly what you are looking for.
For the production of exhaust hoses, we mainly use fabric strips and a so-called clamping profile ("clip"). The clamping profile is supplied as a steel strip and is converted into a profile by us using special moulding tools. The fabric strips are inserted into this clamping profile while the clipping machine moves the profile in a helical motion and simultaneously presses the clamping profile closed. With this special clamping process (or "clip process"), the tubular profile is mechanically connected to the external metal spiral with extreme tensile strength. Depending on the load, the hoses can also be manufactured in multiple layers. With their outer spiral, clamping profile hoses also have an "in-built" protective profile.
Dynamic load due to vibration
Clip hoses are particularly often used where mobile operating equipment is connected together or at least one connection side is mobile. Our clip hose design undoubtedly guarantees a very high mechanical load-bearing capacity, because in the classic areas of application for our clip hoses, it is mostly vibration and oscillation movements (e.g. when operating motors) that require corresponding mechanical strength.
Vacuum operation / vacuum-proof
To ensure that our double-walled clip hoses remain in shape during vacuum operation and under increased dynamic stress, we equip individual hose types with special design features. For example, woven-in reinforcement components in the Master-Clip HT 400, Master-Clip HT 450 and Master-Clip HT 650 ensure increased vacuum resistance. With our exhaust hoses, you are definitely well equipped.
For the production of clip hoses for suction or exhaust gas hoses, we use reliable types of woven and glass fabric that differ from one another in terms of their properties. Depending on the substances, gases or liquids to be transported, the required temperature ranges or the expected mechanical loads, we have a wide range of high-quality technical fabrics at our disposal. These can be knitted fabrics made of glass, polyamide, polyester and aramid fibres such as Nomex® or Kevlar® as well as ceramic material. Special rubbers such as Neoprene®, CSM and special elastomers such as Viton®, Nitril® or butyl are used for the coating. Many types of fabric are particularly heat-resistant, have a high fire resistance and can therefore be used in high-temperature applications.
We produce silicone-free!
Silicone as a material is characterised by high water and heat resistance. However, substances containing silicone can severely impair paint compatibility. In the automotive industry, for example, the slightest contamination can lead to serious surface damage during painting, which is why silicone-free production of hoses is often essential.
The property "silicone-free" can be found in the following tabs:
- Exhaust hoses
- Temperature-resistant hoses up to +1,100 °C
Standards for exhaust gas hoses
The fire behaviour of materials and components is tested in Germany in accordance with DIN 4102-1 and in Europe in accordance with EN 13501-1. A distinction is made between different fire resistance classes or fire protection classes according to their fire behaviour. As a result of a type test, hoses can also receive a corresponding approval as soon as they are classified as flame-retardant and/or fall below certain fire velocities.
In this product group, the Master-Clip HT 450 is tested in accordance with DIN EN 13501-1 and classified as flame-retardant. For further information on operation and safety as well as usage information on our flue gas hoses, please contact our expert sales team.
