FloatFlex 20

Description of Floatflex 20 hose

The Floatflex 20 is a floating submarine hose for suction and discharge of hydrocarbons at 20 bar pressure. This hose withstands temperatures from -35 ° C minimum and maximum to 85 ° C. Hold up to 50% aromatics. It is manufactured under ISO-9001, ISO-1307 and OCIMF standards which provide a brief description below.

ISO 1307: 2006 This International Standard specifies the tolerances on dimensions of hoses elastomers (rubbers) and plastic (pvc) and minimum and maximum permissible bore diameters for each size of hose. To this end, the hoses have been classified into four types, considering the process by which were manufactured extrusion or mandrel. The standard also specifies the tolerances on the cut length of hose elastomers and plastic materials for industrials  applications and the automotive sector. This rule is used with the relevant product standards hoses, unless there is a justification for using a different size or hose unless the hose size you need a range of different inner diameter for a particular application.

This hose is made of mandrel. The Floatflex 20 hose is marked with the name of the hose, its type, and the pressure of work, according to current regulations. Flanges or terminals may be vulcanized on demand. Likewise, marine hose, can be equipped with optional floats. Below is a list of features:
