OCIMF2009 Standard 15Bar STS Oil Hose 10" NBR Material For Ship-To-Ship Transfer

Description

STS Hose for demanding ship-to-ship transfer operations within the oil and gas industry.

The two tankers in a ship-to-ship application are connected by robust, yet flexible hose strings that insure against severe operational wear and tear during their lifetime. Repeated lifting, bending, folding, and being subject to the dynamic forces of vessel movements at sea can all result in load and stress factors within the hose. It’s therefore imperative that this type of hose is handled, stored, inspected and tested correctly and regularly to maintain the design life expectations of these hoses.

Construction

Inner Tube: Oil-resistant NBR and synthetic rubber inner tube. Inner layer of rubber compound with chemical and physical properties to be long-term resistant to the fluid and working conditions.

Reinforcement: Braided or spiral reinforcement, made of high tensile textile with stainless steel helix. Spiral very highly tensile steel wire to bear high pressure but allow flexibility of the hose.

Outer Cover: Oil and weather-resistant synthetic rubber outer cover. outer layer of rubber compound with chemical and physical properties to protect the reinforcement against ambient conditions and mechanical damage.

Flange: The ANSI150 ZINC PLATED flange fitting is used worldwide for connecting high-pressure hoses typically to pumps, motors and cylinders, where the hose assemblies are subjected to large pressure loadings. ANSI B16.5 Class 150 Flange for safe fluid handling. Designed for safe and easy with minimum operator intervention.

Advantages

Lining

Black nitrile rubber to convey crude oil and other liquid petroleum based products with a maximum aromatic content of 50%. Temperature range –20°C to +80°C (-4°F to 176°F).

Coupling system

Built-in vulcanised carbon steel nipples with galvanised ASTM A105 ANSI B16.5 150lb raised face slip-on welded or weld neck flanges. Other drillings are available.

Reinforcement

Multiple layers of high-strength synthetic tyre cord giving pressure and fatigue-resistance and rebound-resilience; ensuring that the hose resumes its circular cross-section and performance characteristics after temporary kinking which may occur during operation. Available electrically continuous or discontinuous.

Quality assurance

A486 oil hoses are designed in accordance to BSEN 1765:2004 type L15 and OCIMF STS Transfer Guide. Proof tested to 1.5 x working pressure with test and material certificates issued.
