HIGH PERFORMANCE ARAMID BRAIDED HOSE

Abstract:

A hose assembly includes an inner hose component, a first braid of reinforcement fiber material that extends around the inner hose component, and a second braid of reinforcement fiber material that extends around the first braid. The first braid and the second braid each has a 3 over 3 braid design, and the first braid has a first modulus and the second braid has a second modulus different from the first modulus. The first braid may be a high strength braid having a strength greater than a strength of the second braid, and the second braid may be a high modulus braid having a modulus greater than a modulus of the first braid. The hose assembly optionally may have a third braid with a high angle configuration of the braid segments. The hose assembly may be combined with an enhanced fitting for securing the hose assembly to fluid system equipment.
