Tube and hose overbraiding is a technique used to strengthen and protect all types of articles with round, oval or square cross-sections... This method consists of applying an additional layer of braiding around the tube.
Any support is literally sheathed in textile to make it more resistant to fire, abrasion, compression, stretching... It all depends on your specifications
This sheathing also insulates the tube. Depending on the material used, it can reduce electromagnetic interference or provide thermal protection for the fluid flowing through the pipe.
In some cases, this type of overbraiding is simply used to improve the cable's outward appearance. In these cases, the aim is to enhance the product's aesthetics, using noble materials such as cotton, linen or even polyamide, all of which come in a wide range of colors.
The most common applications are as follows:
Mechanical protection: Overbraiding protects the cable from abrasion, knocks or cuts in demanding environments.
Reinforcement: Increases tensile strength, useful for cables subjected to frequent movement or high stress.
Thermal and electrical insulation: Depending on the material used (metal or textile insulation), it can offer greater resistance to high temperatures or reduce electromagnetic interference.
Aesthetics: In some cases, it can also be used for a specific visual finish or to differentiate cables.
