Description
The One End Reinforced Submarine Hose without Collars is engineered for offshore oil and gas transfer operations, specifically in submerged environments. This hose features a reinforced design on one end, allowing for effective connection to floating systems while maintaining flexibility and durability for transporting crude oil and refined products.
1. Construction
- Inner Liner: Made from oil-resistant synthetic rubber or composite materials, ensuring compatibility with various hydrocarbons and petrochemicals during transfer.
- Reinforcement Layers: The reinforced end includes multiple layers of high-tensile synthetic fibers or steel wire, providing the necessary strength to withstand high pressures and dynamic forces during operation.
- Outer Cover: The hose is protected by an abrasion-resistant outer layer crafted from durable synthetic rubber, which safeguards against seawater, physical wear, and environmental factors.
2. Design Features
- No Collars: The absence of collars allows for greater flexibility and ease of handling, reducing the overall weight of the hose and facilitating smoother operations in various marine conditions.
- Buoyancy Control: Designed to achieve neutral buoyancy, the hose can either float or remain submerged, depending on the specific operational requirements.
3. Standard Sizes
- Inner Diameter: Available in standard sizes ranging from 6 inches (150mm) to 24 inches (600mm), tailored to meet the needs of different offshore applications.
- Length: Standard lengths are typically around 12 meters, with custom lengths available to accommodate specific operational requirements.
4. Working Pressure
- Rated to handle working pressures generally between 10 to 20 bars (145 to 290 psi), ensuring reliable performance during high-pressure oil transfer operations.
5. Temperature Range
- Suitable for operation within a temperature range of -20°C to 80°C, making it adaptable to various offshore climates and environmental conditions.
6. End Fittings
- Equipped with flanged or swivel-type end fittings made from corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or galvanized metal, ensuring secure connections to subsea pipelines or floating buoy systems.
- These fittings are designed to comply with OCIMF standards, promoting safety and compatibility in marine oil transfer applications.
7. Performance Characteristics
- Tensile Strength: Built to withstand significant tensile loads encountered during offshore oil transfer, particularly at the reinforced end where stress is concentrated.
- Flexibility: Maintains excellent flexibility, allowing the hose to adapt to movement caused by waves and underwater currents without compromising its structural integrity.
- Abrasion Resistance: The robust outer cover protects against damage from contact with rough surfaces on the seabed and other environmental hazards.
8. Applications
- Primarily 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 the transfer of crude oil and refined products.
