A heat conductor and a heated media line having an inner tubular fluid line and at least one heat conductor arranged on the periphery thereof. The heat conductor is formed by a braid made of twisted individual wires and, in particular, an outer protective sheath surrounding the heat conductor and the fluid line. The braid is formed by at least six individual wires surrounding a support element, of which at least one individual wire is made of a copper-nickel (CuNi) alloy, and the remaining individual wires are produced from copper (Cu) or from a nickel-chromium (NiCr) alloy. All of the individual wires have the same diameter.

The field of metal hoses, and specifically, an explosion-proof flexible metal hose for natural gas pipelines is concerned. The problems that the existing metal hose has low intensity and high flow velocity are solved. The explosion-proof flexible metal hose for natural gas pipelines includes a metal hose. A side of the metal hose is provided with a fixing assembly composed of a flange and a loose flange, and an other side of the metal hose is provided with a welding neck flange configured for fixing. The metal hose is covered with a steel band with a multilayer structure. The metal hose and two ends of the steel band are fixed through cooperation between metal short sections and pressing clamp rings. A reinforcement coil is wound around the metal hose.
