Industrial Rubber Hoses & Hydraulic Hoses
Industrial Rubber Hoses & Hydraulic Hoses
Industrial rubber hoses are manufactured to handle a myriad of media. The inner cover and outer cover are rubber, and there are other layers of materials in the makeup of the hose that address pressure, flexibility, and vacuum issues. Rubber hoses are manufactured to address specific uses, so it is vital to select the right rubber hose for your critical application.
The most common industrial rubber hoses are hydraulic hoses, chemical hoses, suction discharge hoses, and steam hoses.
Your hose end fittings are attached by crimping, except for extremely large ID hoses, where the fittings are banded to the hose.

Welding Procedures
Your flexible metal hoses are welded together and then helium leak tested with a mass spectrometer if requested. Further radiography or x-ray testing, dye penetrate testing and cleaning is available.You can be confident that, because of superior fabricating welding procedures, and helium leak testing capabilities, your flexible metal hoses are the highest quality for your critical application.
Our flexible metal hoses are used by the Navy, NASA, nuclear and power generation, military contractors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and chemical manufacturers. Every hose fabricator will tell you that they make quality hose assemblies. But Thunder Technologies hoses are made with state-of-the-art procedures and testing capabilities.
The Right Way to Test Flexible Metal Hoses
Did You Know . . . . All metal hoses leak!
The ONLY way to accurately leak test your metal hoses is by using helium and a mass spectrometer to determine your leak rate. Most fabricators do not have mass spectrometers, so instead, they will test your hose by putting it into a bucket of water and eyeball it for bubbles.You want to know your metal hose’s leak rate.
Your flexible metal hose can be tested with a mass spectrometer so we can give you the exact leak rate of your metal hoses. Unless your specs require a more stringent leak rate, your metal hose will be tested at a leak rate of 10 -8, or a leak rate of about 1 drop of fluid per year.Testing metal hose assemblies in a bucket of water DOES NOT give you the leak rate for your critical metal hose requirements. This inferior metal hose leak testing is not uncommon among metal hose fabricators.
