Metline Industries has completed the supply of stainless steel flexible hose pipes to an industrial client in the Dholera Special Investment Region (Dholera SIR), Gujarat, for use in process piping and utility connections at a facility supporting the region’s expanding manufacturing base. The order covered braided corrugated flexible hose pipes in SS 304 and SS 316L, manufactured and tested in compliance with BS 6501, Part-1: 2004 / ISO 10380: 2012, and dispatched with flanged and threaded end connections built to the client’s line specification. As a manufacturer and stockist of stainless steel pipe fittings and flanges, Metline Industries supplied the hose assemblies along with matching flange sets to keep the client’s procurement on a single purchase order.
Dholera SIR is one of the more active industrial corridors in Gujarat right now, with the semiconductor fab, the adjoining solar park, and a growing base of ancillary manufacturing units all under construction or ramp-up. Flexible hose pipes come into these projects at multiple points – utility skids, HVAC and chilled water lines, compressed air distribution, and vibration-isolation connections at pumps and compressors – which is why sites in this belt have been a recurring source of enquiry for us this year.

Project Overview: What Was Supplied
The scope for this Dholera SIR order included single and double wire-braided stainless steel corrugated hose assemblies ranging from 1/2″ to 3″ NB, built from SS 304 for general utility service and SS 316L where the line carried higher-chloride water or mild chemical exposure. End connections were a mix of fixed flanges, swivel flanges and threaded BSP couplings, matched to the client’s existing pipe spool drawings. Metline’s corrugated metal hose range covers 6mm NB (1/4″) up to 300 NB (12″), with TIG-welded or brazed end fittings in carbon steel, mild steel, stainless steel or brass, so the same order was able to include a small quantity of carbon-steel-ended hoses for a non-critical drain line without switching suppliers.
For an EPC contractor working across a large greenfield site like Dholera, this kind of scope consolidation matters more than it looks on paper. Getting hose assemblies, flanges and fittings released together against one MTC package, rather than chasing three separate vendors for three separate test certificates, is usually what keeps a piping package on schedule during the pre-commissioning stage.
Why Flexible Hose Pipes Matter for Dholera SIR Projects
Dholera’s industrial zone is still largely greenfield, which means most piping and utility work being executed right now is new installation rather than replacement or maintenance. That has a direct bearing on procurement:
- New utility skids and process units need hose connections sized and specified correctly the first time, since site access for rework tightens once adjacent structures come up.
- High-value facilities such as the semiconductor fab and its supporting utility infrastructure typically call for SS 316L over SS 304 wherever water quality or purity requirements are stricter.
- Contractors mobilising for the Dholera Solar Park and allied manufacturing units are ordering in smaller, more frequent batches to match phased handover schedules, rather than one large bulk order.
- Road transport into Dholera SIR still runs through Ahmedabad, so lead time and dispatch documentation need to be planned a few days ahead of a hard site date.
Specification Notes for EPC and Procurement Teams
A few points worth locking down before sending an RFQ for flexible hose pipes into a project of this kind:
- Design temperature range: –200°C to 800°C for AISI 321 and 316 hose material, and –200°C to 420°C for AISI 304/304L.
- Confirm braiding type (single or double) based on the working pressure and any vibration or pulsation expected at the connection point.
- Specify end connections clearly – fixed flange, swivel flange, threaded BSP/NPT, camlock, or TC ferrule – since this changes both lead time and price more than the hose bore itself.
- Ask for overall assembly length, not just hose bore, and confirm whether the length is measured face-to-face of the end fittings.
- Where the application involves food, pharma or high-purity water, request electropolished sanitary fittings compatible with the hose end connection rather than a standard industrial flange.
Why Metline Industries
Metline Industries manufactures and stocks flexible hose pipes alongside a broader stainless and carbon steel pipe, fitting and flange range, which lets projects like this one consolidate multiple line items onto a single order. Manufacturing and supply capabilities relevant to Dholera-based buyers include:
- In-house hydroformed corrugated tube manufacturing with single or double wire braiding in SS 304, 316, 316L and 321.
- End-fitting fabrication in carbon steel, mild steel, stainless steel and brass, TIG-welded or brazed to the hose body.
- Stock and supply of matching flanges and pipe fittings through the group’s SS 316/316L forged fittings range, so hose assemblies and their end connections can be released together.
- 100% leak-proof pressure testing on every hose assembly, with Test Certificates as per EN 10204 3.1 and third-party inspection on request.
- Export packing and dispatch documentation for both domestic industrial-belt deliveries, such as Dholera, and overseas shipments.
- Decades of manufacture, stocking and supply experience across the stainless and carbon steel pipes, fittings and flanges category, serving EPC, oil & gas, petrochemical, power and general industrial buyers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What documents should I request when ordering flexible hose pipes for a Dholera SIR project?
At minimum, ask for the mill test certificate for the hose tube material, a certificate of conformance to BS 6501/ISO 10380, and a pressure test report for each assembly. If the line falls under a third-party inspection requirement, confirm the inspecting agency and the hold points before manufacturing starts, not after.
Is SS 316L necessary, or will SS 304 hose work for a general utility line?
SS 304 is adequate for most compressed air, general water and non-corrosive utility lines. SS 316L is worth the extra cost where the line carries higher-chloride water, mild chemicals, or where the hose sits in a corrosive outdoor environment for an extended period, which is common near coastal sites like Dholera.
How does braiding type affect hose selection?
Single braiding suits lower-pressure, lower-vibration utility lines. Double braiding is used where the line sees higher working pressure or where pulsation from a pump or compressor needs to be absorbed without fatiguing the hose over time.
What should be included in an RFQ for flexible hose pipes?
Grade, bore size, overall assembly length, braiding (single/double), end-connection type on both ends, working pressure and temperature, and the applicable test certificate requirement. Sending this upfront avoids a second round of clarification before quoting.
Can Metline supply flexible hoses along with matching flanges and fittings for the same project?
Yes. Since Metline manufactures and stocks pipe fittings and flanges in addition to flexible hose pipes, matching end connections can typically be released against the same purchase order and test certificate package.
