Composite hose with a corrugated metal tube
A composite hose comprises a corrugated metal tube as barrier layer against permeation of conveyed fluid and a reinforcing layer which is formed by braiding a reinforcing wire member made of a metal wire. A braid density of the reinforcing layer is 55% or less.
1. A composite hose, comprising:
a corrugated metal tube as barrier layer against permeation of conveyed fluid, and
a first reinforcing layer formed by braiding a reinforcing wire member,
a second reinforcing layer disposed on an outer side of the first reinforcing layer and formed by braiding a reinforcing wire member made of a metal wire, and
a braid angle of the first reinforcing layer being larger than a neutral angle, the braid angle of the second reinforcing layer being smaller than the neutral angle and a braid density of the second reinforcing layer being low, 55% or less.
2. The composite hose as set froth in claim 1 , wherein the braid angle of the second reinforcing layer is set in the range of 30° to 40°.
