Stainless Steel Flexible Conduit
G.S.Flexibles manufactures Stainless Steel Flexible Conduits and Flexi-Armors which are used as Instrumentation tubing in numerous industries.
The objective of Instrumentation Tubing is to provide protection to wires, cables, capillary and fiber optic while retaining the flexibility in system design.
Instrumentation tubing is made in two configurations, or constructions, commonly called Square Lock and Interlock. Interlock is further classified in 2 types – Floppy & Gooseneck on the basis of Flexibility. It is often abbreviated as SL and FI & GN respectively. Standard Grade for manufacture of Instrumentation tubing is Stainless Steel AISI Grade SS304. Other metals and various grades of Stainless Steel eg SS316, SS202 and SS410 are also available upon request.
Square Lock Flexible Conduit
Square Lock Flexible Conduit is produced from a continuous metal strip, and is held in position by locking one leg of one profile over the leg of the adjacent profile. It has excellent flexibility, is light weight and is typically used in applications where limited to moderate strength is required.
End-Fittings
Many types of fittings are possible which can be attached in various methods including welding, brazing, crimping or simply screwed and jammed with epoxy adhesives.
Square Lock Flexible Conduit is used by manufacturers of :
- Temperature Sensors and RTD Thermocouples
- Pressure Gauges
- Process & Control Instrumentation
- Measuring & Controlling Devices
- Analytical Instruments
- Search & Navigation Equipment
- Medical Instruments
- Metal Processing and other Heavy Machinery (eg CNC lathe, Milling machine etc)
Typical applications include :
- Capillary Armour
- Wiring conduit or armor cable
- Electronic shielding
- Protective casing
