金屬軟管總成是工程技術中重要的連接構件，由波紋柔性管、網套和接頭結合而成(cheng)。在(zai)各(ge)種輸(shu)氣、輸(shu)液管(guan)路(lu)系統以及長度(du)(du)、溫度(du)(du)、位置和(he)角度(du)(du)補(bu)償系統中(zhong)(zhong)作為補(bu)償元(yuan)(yuan)件(jian)、密封(feng)元(yuan)(yuan)件(jian)、連接元(yuan)(yuan)件(jian)以及減震元(yuan)(yuan)件(jian)，應用于航(hang)空(kong)航(hang)天、石油化工(gong)(gong)、礦山電子、機(ji)械造船、醫療衛生、輕紡電子、能(neng)源(yuan)建筑等各(ge)領域。從結構上來看，金屬波(bo)紋(wen)(wen)(wen)管(guan)的(de)培料有(you)帶材和(he)管(guan)材兩鐘，它們都可以成(cheng)型出環(huan)(huan)形(xing)波(bo)紋(wen)(wen)(wen)管(guan)和(he)螺旋形(xing)波(bo)紋(wen)(wen)(wen)管(guan)。只是(shi)(shi)因為帶材成(cheng)型的(de)波(bo)紋(wen)(wen)(wen)管(guan)總(zong)是(shi)(shi)有(you)一定長度(du)(du)的(de)釬焊或熔焊的(de)搭(da)扣 和(he)接頭，這些(xie)地方(fang)常常積聚有(you)工(gong)(gong)作介(jie)質(zhi)的(de)殘渣，并沉淀有(you)清洗(xi)試(shi)驗和(he)工(gong)(gong)作介(jie)質(zhi)中(zhong)(zhong)的(de)機(ji)械雜質(zhi)污染內腔。因此，它的(de)使用可信賴度(du)(du)要相對差一些(xie)。環(huan)(huan)形(xing)波(bo)紋(wen)(wen)(wen)管(guan)是(shi)(shi)若干圓(yuan)(yuan)環(huan)(huan)膜片外緣與若干凹面(mian)向(xiang)心的(de)半圓(yuan)(yuan)環(huan)(huan)相切接，內緣與若干凹面(mian)背(bei)心的(de)半圓(yuan)(yuan)環(huan)(huan)相切接的(de)特(te)殊幾何形(xing)狀的(de)管(guan)子。
