OROFLEX ™ OFFSHORE

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The OROFLEX OFFSHORE hose is designed for heavy-duty fuel and oil transport in marine and offshore environments. It is lightweight, flexible, and antistatic, with two grounding wires encapsulated within external straps to prevent static buildup. The hose is available in high visibility orange, blue, black, and NATO green colors, with blue and black versions certified for potable water use under NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 61.
Applications: This hose is suitable for various operations including fuel and oil discharge in refineries, offshore industries, chemical plants, and military installations. It is also ideal for seawater and brine transfer, ship-to-shore unloading, ship-to-ship refueling, and drinking water transport.
Construction and Features: The hose is made from high tenacity synthetic yarn with a thermoplastic polyurethane coating, ensuring a single homogenous construction without glues or adhesives. It includes two electrical grounding wires to prevent static buildup, offering high resistance to abrasion, cutting, and corrosion.
Performance and Specifications: The hose exhibits excellent ozone, weather, and UV resistance. It has a service temperature range from -58°F (-50°C) to 150°F (65°C), with peaks up to 175°F (80°C). The hose is available in standard lengths of 330ft (100m) and 660ft (200m), with longer lengths available upon request.
Electrical and Chemical Resistance: The hose contains two electric wires to prevent static electricity buildup, with a lower electric resistance than the MIL-PRF-370K/2017 standard. It is resistant to seawater and most chemical substances, hydrocarbons, oils, and greases.
Physical Properties: The hose is available in various sizes with different working pressures, burst pressures, and tensile strengths. The nominal inner diameter ranges from 1 ¼ inch to 8 inches, with corresponding wall thickness and weight specifications.
Couplings and Installation: The hose can be fitted with various couplings such as crimped ferrule, segmented, conical, Camlock, Victaulic, and Storz. Proper grounding is required when transferring fuels to prevent electric buildup.
Certifications and Compliance: The blue and black versions are NSF certified for potable water use. The product should not be used in applications requiring an electrically non-conductive hose.

OROFLEX ™ OFFSHORE-1

OROFLEX" OFFSHOREExtremely Robust Extruded TPU Fuel & Oil Discharge Lay Flat Hose Specially Designed for Heavy Duty Fuel & Oil Transport in Marine & Offshore environments Color: High visibility orange cover is the standard. Blue (NSF certified version), black (NSF certified version), and NATO green options are also available upon request and minimum order quantity. prevent the build up of static electricity. Each static wire has a 0.5mm2 cross section and is totally encapsulated within a black strap along the hose. This construction makes the ORO FLEX OFFSHORE hose highly conductive and yet flexible, whith a much lower electric resistance than the 1.5 ohm/ft (4.9 ohm/m) stated in the in the MIL-PRF-370K/2017 standard. * * The 1 1/4” hose has only 1 electrical wire. Couplings: As requested by purchaser; crimped ferrule couplings, segmented couplings, conical couplings, Camlock, Victaulic, Storz, etc. The hose must be properly connected to conductive couplings and properly grounded when transfering fuels in odrer to prevent electric build up. To do so, the 2 electric wires woven into the body of the hose need to be electrically bonded to the couplings. Applications: Designed and recommended for fuel and oil discharge operations in refineries, bunkering, offshore industry, chemical plants, and military installations. Ideal for brackish and seawater transfer, brine transfer, ship-to-shore unloading, ship-to-ship refueling, bulk fuel discharge/loading, tank-to-tank transfer, offshore rig supply, drill water, drilling muds, cement, bulk powder, high pressure bypass, and drinking water transport (NSF approved versions). Construction: Made from circularly woven 100% high tenacity synthetic yarn, completely protected and locked-in by a tough, highly resistant thermoplastic polyurethane extruded through the weave, forming a single homogenous construction without the use of glues or adhesives. It includes 2 electrical grounding wires totally encapsulated within the external black straps along the hose to help prevent static build up. The construction of the hose does not permit corrosion or scaling, while giving a high resistance against abrasion and cutting. Easy handling, storage & transport, which allows for fast installation and retrieval. 2% maximum hose elongation and 15% maximum hose expansion. Lengths: Standard lengths in 330ft (100m) and 660ft (200m). Longer lengths may be available upon request. Abrasion Resistance: The OROFLEX OFFSHORE hose will extend the lifetime of your application when under extreme conditions, where abrasion is the main concern. Under practical conditions, thermoplastic polyurethane is considered to be the most abrasion resistant elastomeric material. Service Temperature Range: From -58°F (-50°C) to 150°F (65°C), with peaks of up to 175°F (80°C). Special versions for higher and lower temperatures available upon request. Ozone Resistance: No visible signs of cracking will appear due to the ozone. Excellent weather and UV resistance. Chemical Resistance: Exposure to seawater and contamination by most chemical substances, hydrocarbons, oils and greases has no effect on the short or long term performance of the hose. A chemical resistance chart is available and TIPSA will supply specific chemical resistance data when requested by the purchaser for unique applications. Lining Properties: a. Ultimate Tensile Strength of the lining: Minimum guaranteed value of 5,800 psi (40 MPa). b. Ultimate Elongation: 500% minimum.
