Braid
*Provides increased wall strength
and higher pressure resistance
*Flat wire provides increased torque
capacity

Spiral
*Provides increaded wall strength,more
flexibility than braidin but less torque and
less pressure resistance than braiding

Linear
*Provides increased resistance to linear
stretching
*Contributes very little to wall strength
*Can inhibit flexibility
Other
*We have an extensive list of material
handling capabilities
Let us know what you need
