Description
The One End Reinforced Submarine Hose with Collars is designed for offshore oil and gas transfer operations, specifically in submerged environments. This hose combines a reinforced design with integrated collars, providing enhanced stability and support while ensuring efficient transport of crude oil and refined products from floating systems to subsea pipelines.
1. Construction
- Inner Liner: Made from oil-resistant synthetic rubber or composite materials, ensuring compatibility with various hydrocarbons and petrochemicals.
- Reinforcement Layers: The reinforced end is built with multiple layers of high-tensile synthetic fibers or steel wire, offering exceptional strength and durability to withstand high pressures and dynamic forces during operation.
- Outer Cover: The hose is protected by an abrasion-resistant outer layer made from durable synthetic rubber, safeguarding it against environmental factors like seawater and physical wear.
2. Collar System
- Integrated Collars: The hose features collars positioned along its length, providing additional weight and stability in submerged conditions. These collars help keep the hose in place, preventing excessive movement due to currents and waves.
- Support Function: Collars enhance the hose’s structural integrity, allowing it to maintain its position and function effectively in offshore environments.
3. Standard Sizes
- Inner Diameter: Available in various standard sizes, typically ranging from 6 inches (150mm) to 24 inches (600mm), tailored to fit specific offshore applications.
- Length: Standard lengths are usually around 12 meters, but custom lengths can be accommodated based on operational needs.
4. Working Pressure
- Designed for high-pressure applications, typically rated for working pressures between 15 to 25 bars (220 to 362 psi), ensuring reliable performance during oil transfer operations.
5. Temperature Range
- Capable of operating in temperature ranges from -20°C to 80°C, making it suitable for various offshore climates and environmental conditions.
6. End Fittings
- Equipped with corrosion-resistant flanged or swivel-type end fittings, typically made from stainless steel or galvanized materials. These fittings ensure secure connections to subsea pipelines or floating buoy systems.
- The fittings are generally compliant with OCIMF standards, ensuring safety and compatibility in marine oil transfer operations.
7. Performance Characteristics
- Tensile Strength: Designed to withstand significant tensile loads during offshore oil transfer operations, particularly at the reinforced end where stress is highest.
- Flexibility: Despite the reinforcement and collar system, the hose maintains excellent flexibility, allowing it to adapt to the movement of waves and underwater currents.
- Abrasion Resistance: The robust outer cover protects against damage caused by contact with rough surfaces or environmental hazards.
8. Applications
- Commonly used in offshore oil transfer systems, especially in Single Point Mooring (SPM) and Conventional Buoy Mooring (CBM) operations.
- Ideal for submerged hose strings connecting floating buoys to subsea pipelines for transferring crude oil and refined products.
