How to determine the length of seismic metal hoses for storage tanks
Thread Content
Assuming the distance between points A and B of the two flanges is 1860 mm, then what length should be purchased for the seismic metal hose? Are there any standards?
I think it should be set at 1860, because the flexible hose is capable of stretching.

When installing metal hoses, it is necessary to take into account the way the hose will move – relying solely on the straight-line distance is not sufficient for providing shock absorption. It is recommended to provide information regarding the amount of compensation needed for the hose, or to supply pictures of the installation site so that a detailed design can be prepared.

It’s 1860, I guess. Metal hoses have installation requirements; they need to be in a natural state during installation
The ratio of diameter to length should be considered; the larger the diameter, the longer the length.
