Explore Polymer Hoses →01 / Stripwound Flexible Metallic Tubing
Metallic Strength. Engineered Flexibility.
Whitehouse stripwound metallic tubing is manufactured from profiled metal strip formed into an interlocking structure. Different strip widths, thicknesses, materials and winding profiles can be specified to provide the required combination of flexibility, strength and mechanical protection.
For chemical and processing applications, stripwound constructions can support powder and granular conveying, dust and fume extraction, hot-air ducting, machinery protection and cable guarding.
