High Quality Stainless Steel Hoses
Stainless steel hoses play a crucial role in the process industry. They are used in installations where absolute reliability is required: high pressure, extreme temperatures, or aggressive chemicals. Under the brand Cleton, Imbema offers a wide range of stainless steel hoses that meet the strictest industrial standards, such as ISO 10380. Our hoses are suitable for applications in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical, cryogenic, energy, and OEM installations.
All stainless steel hoses are custom assembled and tested. This ensures you of safe and durable solutions for your installation.
Why choose Cleton stainless steel hoses?
As an engineer, you want assurance about performance, material, and certification. Cleton hoses are developed for industrial applications with high demands. Think of the transport of steam, chemical liquids, or abrasive media at high temperatures and pressure. Our hoses are standardly equipped with:
- Stainless steel inner liner (AISI 316L).
- Stainless steel braiding for pressure enhancement or kink protection.
- Couplings of your choice: flange, thread, Tri-Clamp, Camlock.
- Each hose is individually tested and can be provided with a test certificate, material overview, and traceability on request.

Frequently Asked Questions about Inoflex Stainless Steel Hoses
A single braided stainless steel hose (such as the Inoflex NP1) has one stainless steel braid and is suitable for standard pressure applications with light movement or vibrations. A double braided stainless steel hose (Inoflex NP2) has two braids and can withstand higher pressures and pressure peaks. This type is often used for steam, compressed air, and aggressive media where extra safety is required.
A stainless steel hose without braiding (Inoflex NP0) is suitable for applications with low pressure or vacuum. Think of ventilation, steam discharge, or return lines where no pressure reinforcement is required. Due to the absence of braiding, this hose is more compact and lightweight.
