Service life of flexible hose

Flexible floating hose is a new type of floating material, which can be widely used in marine engineering, port engineering

Flexible floating hose is a new type of floating material, which can be widely used in marine engineering, port engineering, waterway engineering and other fields. It has the characteristics of light weight, good flexibility, impact resistance and fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance and waterproof performance. Effectively reduce the construction cost of offshore engineering and improve construction efficiency. The application of flexible floating hose can reduce the number of operators and reduce the cost and risk of offshore operations.
First, high construction efficiency
When using a flexible floating hose, it is necessary to connect the flexible hose to the jacket or buoy through a connecting device, and then use a tugboat to drag it into the working sea area. Install a drag table on the tugboat, which can provide power to the tugboat, so that the drag table can complete operations such as towing and connecting. The length of the flexible floating hose is determined by the water depth and wave conditions of the construction sea area.
Generally, the length of the flexible floating hose is 200m, and the maximum length is 1000m.
During on-site construction, it is necessary to put the flexible floating hose into the workboat. Due to the long length of the flexible floating hose, it can be installed and operated directly on the ship. In this case, the length of the working boat is usually around 500m, therefore, the flexible floating hose needs to be dragged into the boat for installation.
Second, long service life
The flexible floating hose is made of high-strength engineering plastics, high-performance resin and special surface treatment process, which has extremely strong fatigue resistance and good tensile properties, good corrosion resistance, and can be used in the ocean for more than 20 years.
High-strength engineering plastics have extremely strong fatigue resistance and can be used in the ocean for more than 20 years. At the same time, because the material has good tensile properties and corrosion resistance, the service life can be extended to more than 30 years.

  1. High-strength engineering plastics have extremely strong impact resistance and fatigue resistance, and their tensile strength can reach more than 40 MPa, and the elongation at break can reach more than 300%. Therefore, the flexible floating hose has good toughness and impact resistance, and is not easy to break.
    Third, good corrosion resistance
    The flexible floating hose can withstand the erosion of seawater and freshwater, and has good corrosion resistance. Scientific experiments have shown that the flexible floating hose can resist the erosion of seawater and will not corrode. Even if it is immersed in seawater for more than 10 years, its performance will not be affected.
    The flexible floating hose is not only suitable for underwater work, but can also be used on water. Therefore, the flexible floating hose is also an ideal material for water engineering applications.
    The above is the introduction of the relevant content about the flexible floating hose, I hope it can be helpful to everyone. If there is still something you don’t understand, please consult us.
    Fourth, the construction is simple and does not require large equipment
    Without the need for large-scale equipment, construction can be carried out directly on the sea, and only a simple installation process is required to complete the construction, reducing engineering costs and risks.
    Fifth, light weight can reduce the pressure of the operator
    In offshore operations, the flexible floating hose is light in weight, which can reduce the pressure of operators, improve work efficiency, and provide better protection for offshore engineering construction.
    Therefore, the application of flexible floating hoses in engineering projects has obvious advantages:
  2. Effectively reduce labor costs and material costs.
  3. It can improve construction efficiency and construction quality.
  4. When the flexible floating hose is floating on the sea, it has the characteristics of good impact resistance and fatigue resistance, and good waterproof performance, which can effectively reduce construction costs and risks.
  5. Flexible floating hose is a new type of material that can be used in various engineering projects, such as port engineering, waterway engineering, etc.
