FUEL SOFTWALL Discharge Hose for Offshore Oil Rig Operations
This heavy-duty suction hose is engineered for the safe and efficient transfer of crude oil, petrochemical products, and drilling cuttings containing up to 50% aromatic compounds, making it an ideal solution for demanding offshore operations. Its inner layer, crafted from a smooth black NBR/PVC rubber blend, ensures excellent resistance to hydrocarbons, while multiple layers of high-strength synthetic cord provide outstanding reinforcement and durability under pressure. Integrated copper wires guarantee electrical continuity between hose ends when properly connected to fittings, enhancing operational safety. The outer cover, made of flame-retardant chloroprene rubber (CR), offers superior resistance to oil, seawater, abrasion, and harsh weather conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance even in the most challenging marine environments. Designed specifically for offshore platforms, this hose has a proven track record on North Sea installations and is equally effective in land-based applications. With a working pressure of 17 bar and an operating temperature range from -20°C to +90°C, it delivers reliable performance across diverse conditions. For projects requiring even greater strength, higher pressure versions (20 bar and 27 bar) are available on request, featuring certified tensile breaking strengths and ABS type approval for complete assurance of quality and safety.
