Marine Hose Reducers in Ross Dependency, Crusader 97842 - Marine Hoses

Marine Hose Reducers are specialized fittings used to connect hoses of different diameters in marine applications, ensuring secure and leak-proof transitions. Marine Hoses are flexible tubes designed to transfer liquids like oil, water, or chemicals between ships and shore or between vessels. Both are built to withstand harsh marine environments, including saltwater corrosion and high pressure.

Marine Hose Reducers:

- Size Range: 4" to 24" (varies by manufacturer)

- Grade: API 17K, API RP 17B compliant

- Material: Nitrile rubber, steel wire reinforcement, abrasion-resistant outer cover

- Pressure Rating: 150 psi to 600 psi (depending on size and construction)

- Temperature Range: -20°C to +80°C

- Buoyancy: Typically negative (submerged use with flotation aids if required)

Marine Hoses:

- Size Range: 6" to 48" (standard), custom sizes available

- Grade: OCIMF, ISO 13628-5, API Spec 17K

- Viscosity Handling: Up to 50,000 cSt (crude oil, fuels, chemicals)

- Material: Inner tube (NBR, EPDM, FKM), reinforcement (steel wire/spiral), outer cover (CR, CSM)

- Pressure Rating: 150 psi to 1,500 psi (high-pressure variants)

- Buoyancy: Neutral or positive (depends on fluid density and flotation layers)

- Temperature Range: -30°C to +120°C (specialized materials extend range)

Marine Hose Reducers and Marine Hoses typically comply with maritime standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and specific industry standards like OCIMF (Oil Companies International Marine Forum) guidelines for hoses used in oil and gas transfer. Always verify with the manufacturer for exact compliance details.
