Composite hose assemblies
Composite hose assemblies – general information
Composite hoses are lightweight and highly flexible hoses with a special multi-layered construction. They consist of multiple layers of plastic film or fabric, spirally wound in the form of strips between two wire spirals: an inner and an outer spiral. Depending on the material of plastic (polypropylene, polyamide, ECTFE) and wire (galvanised steel, stainless steel, aluminium, polypropylene-coated steel) used, they are designed for the transport of chemicals (also aggressive), petroleum products, liquefied gas, concentrated alcohols, etc. They are mainly used for unloading and loading of tank cars, railways and in maritime transport (ship-to-shore and ship-to-ship), as well as in industrial installations. The hoses are supplied in the form of ready-made, pressure-tested hoses, terminated with a variety of end fittings and couplings. Composite reloading hoses are often fitted to filling and emptying (UNO) equipment in land and port handling terminals. In Poland, reloading hoses are subject to the requirements of the Transport Technical Supervision and are supplied with the relevant TDT certificates.
All composite hoses supplied by Tubes International are pressure tested and checked for electrical conductivity. In many cases it is possible to repair the hose by reinstalling the end. Replacement should be carried out by the supplier, Tubes International.
Hoses suitable for petroleum and chemical substances to a certain extent can also be found in other chapters of the INDUSTRIAL HOSES section, particularly: fuel, oil and petroleum hoses, chemical hoses, PTFE hoses, pressure metal hoses, ducting and ventilation hoses.
