An ultralow expansion brake hose comprising an inner tube, a reinforcement layer around said tube and including two oppositely wrapped served layers of PVA fibers encapsulated in a pliable adhesive and an outer layer of braided PVA fiber to stabilize said served layers.
An ultralow expansion brake hose comprising a flexible inner tube surrounded by two served layers of oppositely wrapped fibers, said served layers being stabilized by a surrounding braid layer of fiber and said fibers being encapsulated in a pliable matrix.
A method of making an ultralow expansion brake hose, said method comprising:
- (a) providing a flexible inner tube formed from cross linked plastic;
- (b) coating aid tube with an air setting adhesive layer;
- (c) wrapping a first served fiber layer onto said coated tube with a first wrap direction before said adhesive sets;
- (d) wrapping a second served fiber layer onto said first layer where said second served layer has an opposite wrap direction;
- (e) coating said served layers with said adhesive layer to form a matrix capturing said served layers;
- (f) braiding a stabilizing layer over said served layers before said at least second coating of said adhesive layer is air set;
- and,
- (g) allowing said adhesive layer or layers to set into said matrix.
