15Bar Composite STS Hose EN13766 Guide 12" Steel Wire Reinforced Eco-friendly Fuel Oil

Description

Transfer systems are a crucial enabler for floating LNG. To offload LNG offshore, various aerial and floating transfer systems are currently under development. Some are based on loading arm technology, others on metal flexible pipe or multi-composite STS hose.

The multi-composite STS hose consists of helical wires, thin liquid tight films of polymeric materials and layers of fabric like polymeric materials. For floating hoses the composite STS hose is covered with insulation and a polymeric outer hose. Similar composite hoses are frequently used in the oil and chemical industry for transfer. As such, the composite STS hose technology is not new. However, reliability and safety requirements and the cryogenic temperature during operation makes the LNG hose a class on its own.

Advantages

Hose Assemblies

Due to the often hazardous conveyance used it is recommended that composite hose should only be used with properly fixed fittings. Composite hoses are normally fitted by the wire whipped method or by external crimp. All hoses have a 6 to 1 safety factor.

Testing

All hose assemblies must be pressure tested hydrostatically to one and a half times the maximum recommended working pressure and electrically tested to confirm continuity per:

- AS2683, AS2594, AS1180, AS2117

- BSEN13765:2010, BS5842:1980

- EN13766:2010, EN ISO 8031:2009, EN ISO 1402

Fittings

A wide range of fittings can be supplied such as Camlocks, Screwed fittings, flanges etc.

Material fittings - Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Custom.
