Abstract
A corrugated hose 10 for carrying a fluid includes, but is not limited to a hose body for carrying the fluid. Furthermore, the corrugated hose includes, but is not limited to at least one circumferential bellows pocket extending radially to the outside in order to make possible movement compensation of the hose body. The hose body in flow direction merges with the bellows pocket via a sharp-edged tear-off edge for detaching the flow from the hose body. By detaching the flow in the tear-off edge it is prevented that the flow flows into the bellows pocket, as a result of which a corrugated hose that is simple to produce and has a low flow resistance is created.
