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.
Electrical Performance:
The OROFLEX OFFSHORE hose contains 2 electric wires embedded within the hose to 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, with 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. *
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 transferring fuels in order 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).
