Can the FLOWSAFE Float – Reliable Buoyancy and Safety Solution be used with both pressure hoses and suction-pressure hoses reinforced with steel spirals?

Yes. The FLOWSAFE Float – Reliable Buoyancy and Safety Solution is suitable for both pressure hoses without spirals and suction‑pressure hoses reinforced with steel spirals. It fits 3", 4" and 5" hoses, is secured with stainless‑steel clamps in dedicated grooves, and—when used on pressure hoses—an additional steel hose can be fitted to enhance stability and prevent displacement during handling. Manufactured from Bacell® EVA foam, it is flexible, unsinkable, non‑absorbent and UV‑resistant, ensuring durable protection in marine operations.

Does the FLOWSAFE Float – Reliable Buoyancy and Safety Solution require additional anchoring or fittings for long-term offshore deployment?

Does the FLOWSAFE Float – Reliable Buoyancy and Safety Solution require additional anchoring or fittings for long-term offshore deployment? FLOWSAFE is secured to hoses using durable stainless-steel clamps seated in dedicated grooves; for pressure hoses an additional steel hose is recommended to ensure stability and prevent displacement during handling. The float’s unsinkable, UV‑resistant Bacell® EVA construction and lightweight design support long‑term outdoor use. However, for extended offshore deployment where environmental forces (currents, waves, wind, vessel motion) are significant, supplementary anchoring or fittings may be required as part of the overall mooring/rigging system to meet site‑specific operational and safety needs. In short: basic securement is built in (clamps and optional steel hose), but assess site conditions and add anchors or bespoke fittings when necessary for long‑term offshore use.

The FLOWSAFE float is a reliable and innovative solution designed to ensure maximum safety and efficiency for marine hoses, especially in offshore operations between vessels and drilling platforms. By keeping hoses afloat on the water’s surface, it prevents damage from propellers and enables smooth maneuvering of floating units, while also acting as a protective cover. Suitable for both pressure hoses without spirals and suction-pressure hoses reinforced with steel spirals, it is available in 3″, 4″, and 5″ sizes. The float is secured with durable stainless-steel clamps fitted into dedicated grooves, and when used with pressure hoses, an additional steel hose ensures stability and prevents displacement during handling. Manufactured from Bacell® EVA foam, it is exceptionally flexible, unsinkable, and non-absorbent with fully closed pores, guaranteeing no shrinkage or deformation even under demanding conditions. Its UV resistance makes it ideal for long-term outdoor use, while its lightweight design—just 2 kg with a load capacity of 16 kg and a volume of 18 dcm³—ensures easy handling and installation. FLOWSAFE combines durability, safety, and practicality, making it an indispensable accessory for marine operations where reliability and protection are key.
