Rubber tubing with a metal wire inside
Rubber tubing with a metal wire inside combines an elastomer tube with an additional structural element. In the wire-reinforced designs discussed here, the wire arrangement is part of the hose construction and must be considered when specifying a bend or an end connection. Establish whether the wire is embedded in the wall and how it terminates at a cut end. The completed tube, rather than the rubber material alone, is the part that must fit the intended routing and service.
Rubber is a very flexible and solid material that gives these hoses great resistance to tearing or bending. To make this pipe even more resistant and safer to use, metal wire is often installed inside it. This maximizes the resistance. However, to keep fluid or airflow to a minimum, as well as friction losses, the inside of these pipes is smooth. They are extremely resistant to moisture and UV radiation and are ideal for the transfer of chemicals. The use of rubber tubing with metal wire inside is very wide. They are most commonly used in the automotive industry, electronics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, laboratories, agriculture and many other industries. These hoses withstand very strong pressure, even 3 times the working pressure. Rubber gives it heat resistance, so these hoses are most often used up to -40C to + 120C. They are also excellent as insulation for electricity.
Since there is a metal wire in their interior, these hoses are somewhat more difficult to shape and adapt to the surface than classic rubber hoses without wire. However, the great advantage is that with distorted pipes of this type, they retain their shape. This way, the liquid, gas or desired substances can move the axis of point A to point B in the desired path.
Depending on what they are intended for, these pipes can be purchased in different lengths, different diameters. Also, the amount of wire that it will carry in itself depends primarily on its purpose. What rubber tubing with the metal wire inside guarantees you is a long service life and safety at work.

Discuss Your RequirementsProduct specifications
- Product form
- Tubing with spiral or wire reinforcement
- Application focus
- Cable sleeving, vehicle hose runs and laboratory connections. Size the part against the selected assembly.
- Dimensions to confirm
- Inside diameter, outside diameter, wall thickness and cut length. Match these to cable sleeving and vehicle hose runs.
- Reinforcement
- Define the spiral or wire reinforcement, pitch and termination at the hose ends.
- Contact conditions
- Other gases: define concentration, temperature and contact time, then check compatibility with the chosen compound.
- Exposure to evaluate
- Sunlight or UV and moisture. Validate the selected material under the combined conditions.
- Line layout
- Check bend radius, unsupported spans and clearance at both connections.
