Emergency shutdown due to rupture of the steam turbine slide valve metal hose

During operation of the Hangzhou Motor Company’s turbines, the metal hose supplying oil to the slide valve ruptured, causing control oil to leak and leading to an emergency shutdown. It has been decided to replace all flexible metal hoses with stainless steel pipes. Will there be any problems with that? For example, could vibrations occur? Looking forward to answers from experts.
It can be replaced with stainless steel… The throttle and actuator vibrate during operation; stainless steel pipes should be used to avoid high stress. The length of the pipes can be increased, and additional turns can be added at the bending points to achieve shock absorption
