HOSE ASSEMBLIES FOR AIR AND WATER
Hoses for air and water designed for industrial water, sewage, cooling
water and compressed air. Made of rubber, PVC, polyethylene with textile
braid, PVC or steel wire helix. Air and water hoses range from 4 to 320 mm,
working pressure to 207 bar. Fittings for air and water hoses
can be mounted with worm drive clamps, safety clamps or crimped.
Usage:
Low pressure quick release couplings widely used in all branches of industry to transfer a wide range of liquid media,
compressed air and different gases. Available in brass, carbon steel, nickel plated carbon steel or stainless steel
material versions with different seal that enables matching couplings for almost all working conditions. Our offer
includes a wide range of sizes, threads and connection types. Working pressure to 100 bar.
HOSE ASSEMBLIES FOR STEAM TRANSFER
Rubber hoses designed for steam are made of special rubber compounds
(mostly EPDM) and are reinforced with textile or steel wire braid
(depending on the pressure). Hoses for superheated steam are designed for
18 bar working pressure and working temperature 210°C, and sometimes
even 232°C. DN range for steam rubber hoses is from 8 to 102 mm. Steam
rubber hoses are used for industrial applications of heating steam, process
steam and steam cleaning. Tubes International advice is to use only fittings
specially designed for steam that are installed on a hose with the use of bolt
screw clamps. For the use with hot water - water temperature cannot be
higher than 100°C.
For steam rubber hoses only special fittings designed for steam applications can be used. Steam fittings are mounted
on a hose with the use of bolt screw clamps. That enables connection between hose and fittings to be tightened after
first period of service life and later its regular control. Hose internal diameter and wall thickness are the key parame-
ters for appropriate choice of fittings and clamps. Correct assembly and regular check of connection are the most
important features for a safe usage of steam hose assemblies.
Usage:
In steam applications many additional accessories such as: steam guns, extension fittings, swivel joints, dry
disconnect couplings, quick connect couplings are used. Appropriate choice of such accessories especially its sealing
material is possible only after verifying working conditions of particular application.
HOSE ASSEMBLIES FOR FOOD SUBSTANCES
Food hoses are made of substances that can have direct contact with food
products. Such hoses have white internal taste free and odourless layer
made of PVC, polyethylene or other polymers. Food hoses internal layer
characteristics are high degree of purity and lack of substances
deteriorating its organoleptic characteristic. Sizes DN ranges from 3 to 200
mm, working pressure till 27 bar.
Hose fittings can be mounted with the use of worm drive hose clamps, safety
clamps or crimped (ferrules). Electropolished AISI 316 fittings/couplings are
mainly used for food hoses.
Usage:
Assembly technology: Internal swaging allows permanent and safe fitting-hose connection ensuring full
and unrestricted flow through the fitting of a flexible hose assembly. The fitting is internally expanded by pulling
a hardened tool of the same size as the hose bore, called a dolly or a plug, down the inside of a hose tail.
The compressive force exerted on the hose wall by the hose tail causes the hose material to flow into the serrated
cavities of both hose tail and ferrule. As a result, a permanently attached, secure mechanical bond is achieved. The
whole process is the opposite to the traditional external crimping. The main advantage of internal swaging over
external crimping is the increase in a flow rate. When internally swaged, the wall of the hose tail is entirely pushed
into the hose, the inside diameters of both the hose and its fitting are the same.
HAMMER LUG unions, also known as „WECO” unions are designed for quick connection of flexible hoses
and pipelines. Widely used to transfer air, oil, water, crude oil, gas to name only a few. Available in threaded and
buttwelded version in sizes varying from 1" to 8". Manufactured form carbon steel (pressure till 276 bar) or chrome
molybdenum steel 4130 (pressure till 1378 bar). Type approved by DNV. Our offer also include other flowline
elements such as swivel joints, valves, pipe joints, tees, crosses, redactors and many more.
HOSE ASSEMBLIES FOR CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES
Usage:
CAMLOCK couplings are made in compliance with MIL-C-27487 (A-A-59326) - American military specification. Simple
structure and easy operation are their main features. In order to lock the adaptor in the coupler one simply needs
to press the cam arms under normal hand pressure. A flat seal placed in the groove of a coupler tightens the connection.
The couplings (couplers and adaptors) are available with male BSPT and female BSP thread, a hose tail, a flange, etc. The
couplings can be made of aluminium, brass, stainless steel AISI 316, polypropylene. Sizes available: from 1/2" (DN13)
to 6" (DN150). Working pressure from 4 up to 18 bar depending on the size and material. All types of CAMLOCK
couplings are widely used as reloading couplings especially in petrochemical industry. SAFLOK® coupling is a variation
of CAMLOCK coupling with additional level of safety against accidental disconnection. Safety is provided by a patented
locking mechanism, built into the coupling arms. Such a design ensures that the arms are locked automatically when
closed. Opening is a simple matter of tugging the finger rings.
HOSE ASSEMBLIES FOR PETROCHEMICAL SUBSTANCES
Oil and petroleum hoses include hoses for crude oil as well as distilled
(fractional distillation) products such as: gasoline, naphtha, diesel oil,
heating oil, hydraulic oil, hardening oil, solvents, maintenance lubricants,
transformer oil, asphalt and liquid bitumen substances. Widely used
during exploration, distillation, reloading (tankers, rail and tank trucks),
distribution, refuelling as well for many technological processes and fuel
and hydraulic lines, etc. Aromatic contents (different volume in lead-free
petrol, diesel, transformer oil) as well as requirements regarding
electrostatic characteristics (copper wires, antistatic rubber, conductive
rubber) must be taken into account while choosing an appropriate hose
for petrochemical substances. Couplings and fittings are assembled with
the use of hose worm drive clamp, safety clamps or crimped (ferrules).
Usage:
Other applications: crude oil transfer between trip tanks, loading crude oil on rail and tank trucks, electric
power generators

assembled on.
FLOATING HOSE ASSEMBLIES
Floating hoses are widely used on all kinds of water basins. Their most
common applications are as follows: reloading of oil in ports, transfer
of crude oil from an oil rig to a ship, dredging, etc. There are several
techniques that can be used to keep a hose afloat (floats assembled
on a hose or special hoses with integral “built-in” layers of foam) so as
to protect it against damage by the ship’s propeller and allow the vessel
to be steered. Floating hoses are perfectly visible even in adverse weather
conditions. They are made of foam which does not absorb water or sink
in any operation conditions.
FLOWSAFE floating devices designed to fit all hoses for offshore applications especially supply hoses used between
ships and rigs. With floats on supply hoses, the transfer between ships and rigs becomes much safer. The hose stays
afloat so it is clearly visible, which prevents its damage by the ship’s propeller and avoids the problem of the ship
becoming unable to manoeuvre. The floats protect the hose against wear and tear and therefore they are excellent
fenders for both delivery hoses (without steel wire) and suction-delivery hoses (with steel wire) of 3”, 4” and 5”
in diameter. There are plastic bands placed in the grooves of the floats so they can be easily fastened. When the
floating devices are applied for the delivery hoses a special wire strap should be used. The strap prevents the float
from being displaced when the hose is being handled and without pressure. The floats are flexible, do not sink or
absorb any water (the cells of foam are closed in 100%). They do not shrink or deform. UV radiation resistant.
HOSE ASSEMBLIES FOR LOW PRESSURE TECHNICAL GASES
Usage:
Hoses designed for gases with working pressure above 140 bar. Widely used for filling up/emptying gas
cylinders, industrial processes. Most typical gases are oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, helium, argon, carbon
dioxide, acetylene, and many more. Wide range of DN ranges from 6 to 12 mm, working pressure to 300 bar.
