● Safety Lining: special construction to prevent defects or damage cause by incidental tearing or superficial damages of the main linig;
● Reinforcements: Multiple Plies of High Tensile Textile cord. One embedded helical Body Steel wire.
● Cover: Black Syntetic Rubber Smooth oil and fuel resistant.
● Single Carcass And Double Carcass

Floating Hose Floatation:
● Floating Material : Closed cell Foam.

Floating Hose Outer Cover:
● Smooth black, Synthetic Rubber Resistant to Abrasion, Oil, Sea Water and Sunlight.
● Helical Orange strip.
● Polyurethane Orange in Colour cover available on request.

Floating Hose Fittings: End connections built in during manufacture. 

Floating Hose Tests: All tests according to certified OCIMF & GMPHOM 2009.

Floating Hose Application:
The floating marine oil hose is designed for transportation of crude oil and liquid petroleum products between loading and unloading vessels at offshore mooring systems.

Floating Hose Characteristic:
● Indepent foam floating casing to prevent water absorption
● CR outlayer with excellent resistance to abrasion ,UV,aging and corrosive environment.
● Easy installation and less maintenance
● Cutomized steel flanges are available
● rated working pressure: 15-75 bar
● minimum reserve buoyance: 20% or according to customer requirements
● electrical continuity: electrical continuous or discontinuous
● leak detection system: after the failure of the primary carcass, the detector will react to the leakage to remind the operator to remove the damaged hose to avoid economic loss and environmental pollution.

Single Carcass
A single carcass hose is capable to withstand the demands of the world’s most exposed offshore installations. This hose consists of the tube, spiral reinforcement and cover layers.
