Self-Floating Hose

Get moving with self-floating hose

Application:

Floating hoses apply to pipelines suffer the great impact of seawater surges and are always being used on dredgers. The hoses with self-contained foam floats connect with each other to compose a floating pipeline. This kind of pipeline has stable flotation conditions, can bear powerful tension and torsion force that steel pipelines cannot sustain in extreme environments.

Self-floating Hose:

The inner layer of the self-floating hose is filled with low-density polymer.

It can make sure the hose emergence above water is not less than 20% of the total volume.

Flange can provide strong connection.

Carcass ply provides strong frame.

More efficient and economical than combined pipeline in the long term.

Structure:

Internal rubber layer- high-quality NR, SBR, BR

Inner rubber layer thickness: 15-45mm

Floating layer: PE

Reinforcement layer——-strong tire cord and Floating material layer

External rubber layer–SBR and CR blend

Length:usually 5.8m or 11.8m or at customer’s request

Features:

1. Good wear resistance of the inner layer.

2. Colored indicator in the inner layer.

3. Outer cover with excellent abrasion resistance and UV protection

4. Single foam flotation casing to prevent water absorption.

5. The hose emergence above water is not less than 20% of the total volume.

6. Flang design according to customer’s requirement.

7. Bending angle : 0°-45° ( Maximum: 90° in short time )

8. The hose has two sides,so can take turns using it.

9. Easy to install, of good adhesion, long service life.
