Metal flexible tubing is made by winding profiled metal strip into a tube, the strip edges being completely interfolded. During winding a crimp is introduced into the strip providing a polygonal cross-section to the finished tubing. This ensures that the diameters remain constant when the tubing is cut, unlike plain round section tubes which tend to spring out slightly at one end. Attached to rigid pipework by welding or crimping etc., is thereby considerably facilitated. Being fully interlocked Metallic Flexible Tubing cannot unravel USES - for absorbing vibration, thermal expansion and noise attenuation on engine exhaust systems of vehicles and stationary plant of all kinds.
