Hose Master makes bellows and expansion joints.

Hose Master’s high-performance hosing products are available to Canadian industry via Sudbury International Engineered Products Limited. With more than four decades of credibility as a leading manufacturer of quality metal bellows and expansion joints, Hose Master leverages innovation and technical expertise in order to offer pre-engineered, custom-designed joints to businesses everywhere.

This winning formula benefits all customers and makes Hose Master a major industry player for its engineered metal hoses and assemblies, all available through Sudbury International.

Precisely controlled manufacturing processes

The manufacturer is acclaimed for superior engineering, precisely controlled manufacturing processes, expert quality assurance, and top client service. Hose Master blends all these ingredients to make the finest metal bellows and expansion joints. Technical expertise is key to Hose Master’s success: designed and manufactured in-house, its proprietary equipment enables creation of value-engineered, quality metal bellows and more that go beyond the standard. Skilled engineers help customers to custom-design expansion joints for specific, demanding applications.

Another key element is quality assurance. One of Hose Master’s guiding principles is to make the best metal bellows and expansion joints; its designs meet the strict requirements of piping, boiler, and pressure codes, which apply to the fabrication and assembly of pressure piping. This certification means that Hose Master expansion joints get U, PP, and R stamps. Customer specifications can be checked through Finite Element Analysis or three-dimensional CAD modelling. Method options for expansion-joint tests include pneumatic, hydrostatic, high-pressure gas, liquid penetrant, and helium mass spectrometry and radiography.

Product and failure analysis is another priority. Manufacturers must identify root causes of past failure modes of out-of-service products accurately, to resolve demanding metal-expansion-joint applications permanently. The company’s in-house product and failure analysis laboratory identifies different failure modes, whether they stem from fatigue, corrosion, deformation, or other causes. Hose Master is North America’s sole producer of metal hoses and expansion joints that provides in-house failure analysis and reverse engineering for free to Sudbury International and other distribution partners.

With perks like top standard delivery lead time and after-hours emergency service, Hose Master offers the exemplary service that its industry demands.
