Petrochemical

Resilient metallic hose assemblies ensure safe fluid transfer in demanding petrochemical environments.

Refineries

Refineries process crude oil into various fuel products such as Petrol , Diesel , Kerosene , Heating oil , Jet fuel along with similar other products .

All these processes require stainless steel flexible hoses for Petroleum transfer , steam lines , transfer hoses and additives associated with refining .

Stainless steel metallic hoses are ideal for all of these applications that require heat resistance , corrosion resistance or the general severity of refinery service application .

Examples of applications in refineries are , hydrocarbon drain lines , gas burner connections , steam hoses for tank cleaning , connections to the cat crackers , lube oil and plant process hoses.

Key Benefits

With a focus on safety , reliability and corrosion resistance , Flexmetallic hoses with options of wall thickness and flexibility provide the solution for a refineries unique shutdown requirements.

Lightweight easy to move around
Vacuum resistant
Premium 316 for extra corrosion resistance
Tested to 1 1/2 times working pressure
Tagged and certified
Full traceability
Permeation protection , non-porous
Temperature resistant up to 600 c

Reliable performance

All industrial facilities undergo plant maintenance and annual shutdowns , few are as important as those seen in the oil and gas industries. These periods often see speed and safety on a collision course, where both are equally as important .

During these times production units are decommissioned where units are drained off before shut down work can begin .

Flexmetallic stainless steel hoses combine the most reliable performance and safest service de commissioning without delaying maintenance operations.

Because of the high ambient and internal temperatures when draining units Flexmetallic corrugated metallic hoses are the best choice . When it comes to shutdowns the all stainless construction is the ultimate flexible solution for both safety corrosion resistance and reliable service .
