Braided hose pipes consist of an inner flexible tube (commonly rubber, PVC, or PTFE) surrounded by one or more layers of braided reinforcement—usually stainless steel or high-strength synthetic fibers (e.g., nylon). The braiding provides tensile strength and pressure containment, while the inner core allows fluid or gas to pass through. This construction yields hoses that are both highly flexible and capable of withstanding elevated pressures, temperatures, and a variety of chemical environments.
