  • Metal Hose for Tank Terminals
    METAL HOSE FOR TANK TERMINALS A GUIDE TO ALLOY SELECTION AND CORROSION PREVENTION The important role tank terminals play in today’s global economy cannot be overstated. Their ubiquity across continents supports a supply chain that ensures consumers and companies receive the products and raw materials on which they depend without interruption. Critical to the operation of a tank farm is its piping system, and flexible components like metal hose assemblies and expansion joints are needed to support the transfer of media between tanks and ships, barges, pipelines, trucks and rail cars. Like the storage tanks themselves, piping is susceptible to corrosion which can lead to leaks that then, in turn, become safety hazards. Fires, groundwater contamination and increasing toxicity levels in the air are just a few of the risks associated with a release. Furthermore, corrosion has long been cited as a major cause of equipment failure. To protect a facility’s assets, its people and the surrounding environment, steps can be taken in the design and handling of hose assemblies to guard against corrosion and the potential for leaks. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Ensuring the proper alloy for metal hose assemblies is important as—depending on their chemical composition —some are better suited to resist corrosion from certain compounds. This, of course, depends on the media passing through the hose. For instance, in the case of sour gas, rich in highly corrosive hydrogen sulfide (H2S), 316 SS is a suitable option due to its molybdenum (Mo) content. However, if price is a secondary concern, then using AL-6XN which has twice as much Mo than 316 SS or one of the exotic alloys such as Inconel 625 or Hastelloy C-276—with significantly greater amounts of Mo (as much as four to eight times the amount compared with 316 SS)—is Flashlight reveals pinholes caused by pitting corrosion preferable.

  • Corrugated Metal Hose & Assemblies
    HOSE MASTER CORRUGATED METAL HOSE & ASSEMBLIES WHEN TO USE CORRUGATED METAL HOSE There are many different types of hose available on the market, including metal, rubber, composite, PTFE, and fabric. The decision of which hose type to buy depends on the application for which the hose is being used. Generally, there are eight factors that should alert you to consider using metal hose: 1. TEMPERATURE EXTREMES If either the temperature of the media going through the hose or the surrounding atmospheric temperature is very cold or hot, metal may be the only material that can withstand such temperature extremes. 2. CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY Metal hose can handle a wider variety of chemicals than most other hose types. If the hose will be exposed to aggressive chemicals (either internally or externally), metal hose should be considered. 3. PERMEATION CONCERNS Non-metal hose is susceptible to gas permeation through the hose wall and into the atmosphere. Metal hose, on the other hand, does not allow permeation. If containing the gases inside the hose is important, metal hose may be required. 4. POTENTIAL FOR CATASTROPHIC FAILURE When a metal hose fails, it usually develops small holes or cracks. Other hose types tend to develop larger cracks or come apart completely. If a sudden hose failure is potentially catastrophic, a metal hose may help minimize the effects of a failure by leaking product at a slower rate. 5. ABRASION AND OVERBENDING CONCERNS To prevent abrasion and overbending, a metal hose can be used as a protective cover over wires or even other hoses. 6. FIRE SAFETY Other hose types will melt when exposed to fire, while metal hose maintains its integrity up to 1300° F.

  • Stripwound Metal Hose and Assemblies Stripwound Metal Hose Overview
    HOSE MASTER STRIPWOUND METAL HOSE AND ASSEMBLIES STRIPWOUND METAL HOSE OVERVIEW Stripwound metal hose is a rugged product made from a strip of steel that is profiled and continuously wound around a mandrel to form a hose. Hose Master’s proprietary manufacturing process yields an extremely consistent and balanced profile that maximizes strength and flexibility. Stripwound hose is used as a guard, exhaust hose, and for the transfer of dry bulk materials. Types of Stripwound Metal Hose Products Roughbore Interlocked The strip is formed with legs that interlock to form a hose that is flexible and ideally suited for conveying dry bulk materials, gas exhaust, or used as a protective cover. Smoothbore Interlocked Flow Designed to reduce damage to delicate materials, another steel strip is added inside a roughbore hose to provide a smooth interior surface. Smoothbore hose is also flexible and used for dry bulk conveying. Packed Interlocked Roughbore Smoothbore Flow Packing may be added to interlocked hose to minimize leakage through the hose profile. The most effective packings are made from resilient materials such as elastomers and, to a lesser extent, cotton. Harder materials (stainless steel and copper) are also available if requested. Roughbore Smoothbore Torque-Resistant Interlocked Flow Designed for torque resistance and enhanced sealability, this product resists twisting, unwinding, and strip flare-up after cutting. Torque-resistant hose is manufactured in either roughbore or smoothbore constructions. Floppy Interlocked Designed to offer flexibility, strength, and crush-resistance, this product is used for casing or armor of small diameter hose and electrical cables. Floppy Squarelocked The strip is formed into square shapes that are locked together.
