Steel Braided Hose

Steel braided hose is rubber hose that has alternating layers (from the inside surface to the outside) of rubber, steel wire braided reinforcement, another thin layer of rubber, an additional layer of braiding, etc. The final outer layer is rubber.  The steel wire braiding is placed into the hose structure in order to allow the hose to be used in high internal pressure applications (usually with hydraulic fluids).
