Marine Hose Maintenance

The hose may encounter inevitable damage during use. Timely and accurate maintenance will not only extend the service life, but also effectively avoid damage to the environment.  

At present, the CDSR hoses cover all product types in the latest OCIMF standard "Guide to Purchasing and Manufacturing Hoses for Offshore Moorings Fifth Edition 2009", and have been widely used in various facilities such as FPSO, FSO, CBM, and CALM. The hose produced by CDSR has a long service life.

● Visual inspection

● Size measurement

● Hydrostatic test

● Vacuum test

● Electrical/Continuity Test

● Weight test

● MBR test

● Bending Stiffness test

 

Situations hoses may encounter during use

● External tear caused by propeller

● Friction that occurs under the hull of a tanker or tugboat

● Accidental contact with sharp metal structures

● Attacked by a shoal of fish

● Improper storage and maintenance

The storage life of the hose can be affected by temperature, humidity, ozone, sunlight, oils, solvents, corrosive liquids, vapors, insects and rodents. You can use CDSR steel pallets to protect the hoses and facilitate their storage and transportation. 

CDSR will provide customers with recommendations on hose installation, storage and maintenance during the service phase. If you have any questions during the use of CDSR hoses, please feel free to contact us. Our technicians will provide you with advice and expertise.
