Marine Tail Floating Hose
Product Description
Marine Tail Floating Hose
Product Introduction:
The Tail Floating Hose is a specialized component in offshore mooring hose strings, positioned at the vessel end of the floating hose system. It serves as the critical connection between the mainline floating hose (or reducer hose) and the tanker rail hose or ship manifold. Designed for maximum flexibility and maneuverability, the tail hose accommodates vessel movements, wave actions, and tidal variations while maintaining safe and efficient fluid transfer of crude oil, refined products, and other hydrocarbons
Main Body/Inner Tube: Smooth, oil-resistant, fuel-resistant, seamless and extruded Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Rubber (NBR).
Safety Liner: Special construction to prevent defects or damage caused by accidental tearing or superficial damage of the main inner liner.
Reinforcement: Multiple plies of high-strength textile cord, with one embedded spiral steel wire in the main body.
Cover: Smooth black synthetic rubber, oil-resistant.
Single Carcass & Double Carcass: Available.
Flotation Material: Closed-cell foam.
Outer Cover: Smooth black synthetic rubber, resistant to abrasion, oil, seawater, and sunlight. Spiral orange stripe.
End Fittings: Terminal connections built-in during manufacturing. ASME B16.5 Class 150 or Class 300, weld neck, flat face or raised face, as required.
Testing: All tests conducted in accordance with GMPHOM 2009 and customer specifications.
Application: Floating offshore oil hoses are designed for transporting crude oil and liquid petroleum products between loading/unloading vessels in offshore mooring systems.

Key Features:
1.Connects the rail hose and the mainline hose (or reducer hose).
2.Lifting lugs shall withstand loads with minimum breaking load: 12" = 100 KN, 16" = 150 KN, 20" = 200 KN.
3.Rated Working Pressure (RWP): 21 bar.
4.Minimum Reserve Buoyancy: 20% or according to customer requirements.
5.Electrical Continuity: Electrically continuous or discontinuous.
6.Leak Detection System: In the event of main carcass failure, the detector responds to the leak, alerting the operator to remove the damaged hose, thereby avoiding economic loss and environmental pollution.
7.Specifications can be designed according to customer requirements.
