RECOMMENDED FOR:
Flexible connection between standpipe and swivel (Rotary Drilling) or between pump and standpipe (Rotary
Vibrator) for pumping mud at extra high pressure in oil drilling and exploration work. Meets the high demands of directional drilling and down linking with negative pressure pulses and elevated temperatures. Motion Compensator hose is used for stabilization of rotary drilling and pumping equipment against vertical wave
action on offshore drill platforms. The Motion Compensator hose is not recommended for phosphate ester
fluids.
TEMPERATURE: -4°F to +180°F (-20°C to +82°C) continuous service.
CONSTRUCTION: Tube:
Reinforcement:
Cover:
Type C3 (Modified Nitrile). 3/16" thick. Black. Specially compounded for handling abrasive, corrosive and oily drilling mud.
Multiple layers of polyester cord over tube. Multiple layers of “close wound”, high tensile
steel cables, with one layer of adhesion fabric placed between cable layers. Multiple layers
of reinforcement under cover.
Type C4 (Modified Nitrile). Black. Specially compounded UltraBrasion cover is resistant
to abrasion, corrosion, cutting, gouging, oil and weather.
