Types of Braiding Techniques
Braided silicone hoses can be reinforced using different braiding techniques, including:
- Standard braiding: This technique involves braiding the silicone material with a single layer of fibers, providing excellent flexibility and durability.
- Multilayer braiding: This technique involves braiding the silicone material with multiple layers of fibers, providing increased strength and pressure resistance.
- Spiral braiding: This technique involves wrapping the silicone material with a spiral of fibers, providing excellent flexibility and durability.
- Flat braiding: This technique involves braiding the silicone material with flat fibers, providing increased strength and pressure resistance.
- Knitted braiding: This technique involves knitting the silicone material with fibers, providing excellent flexibility and durability.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Braided Silicone Hoses
- Temperature range: The temperature range of the hose should be compatible with the application’s temperature requirements.
- Pressure rating: The pressure rating of the hose should be compatible with the application’s pressure requirements.
- Hose diameter and length: The hose diameter and length should be compatible with the application’s flow rate and space requirements.
- End fittings and connections: The end fittings and connections should be compatible with the application’s plumbing and mechanical requirements.
- Regulatory compliance: The hose should comply with regulatory standards, such as USP Class VI criteria, European Pharmacopoeia standards, and FDA regulations.
- Repeated steam sterilization or long-term exposure to high temperature or high pressure, the wall of hose will eventually become viscous, and it must be replaced at this time.
- Pay attention to the selection of joints and clamps. Sharp pagoda-shaped joints and metal clamps may pierce the hose wall and cause the hose to rupture, especially when handling high pressure.
- Braided reinforced silicone tube cannot be used for body transplantation and continuous steam application
Maintenance and Care of Braided Silicone Hoses
To ensure the longevity and reliability of braided silicone hoses, proper maintenance and care should be observed, including:
- Inspection and testing: The hose should be inspected and tested regularly for signs of wear, tear, and damage.
- Cleaning and sterilization: The hose should be cleaned and sterilized regularly to prevent contamination and ensure hygiene.
- Storage and handling: The hose should be stored and handled properly to prevent damage and prolong its lifespan.
- Replacement and repair: The hose should be replaced or repaired immediately if signs of wear, tear, or damage are detected.
