Description
Prefabricated and demountable Flexilz pipeline is an EHS pipeline of new generation.
It is a flexible, sealed hose made of thermoplastic polyurethane with a high-strength textile frame and anti-static wire. Equipped with end pieces.
Application area
- Transportation and pumping of oil and oil products:
- supply of oil products, including in remote areas
- organization of oil pipelines at exploratory wells
- duplication of stationary pipelines
- oil pumping on offshore drilling platforms
- fuel and lubricant materials pumping at petroleum storage depot
- Bunkering of vessels, incl. military equipment * (transfer tanker - tanker, tanker - shore)
- Construction of technological piping and distribution networks of oilfield facilities
- Reserve pipeline for fire extinguishing at oil storages and hazardous facilities
Types
- Flexilz-M - lay-flat hoses for land deposits and high-pressure pipelines
- Flexilz-A - lay-flat hoses resistant to sea water, for offshore fields, bunkering of vessels. Approved by the Maritime register.
Parameters
- Operating environment: oil, oil products, water and impure water
- Throughput rate up to 350 m3/h
- The hose sections with maximum length up to 200 m
- Antistatic wire along the entire hose length
- Electrical resistance of materials up to 0.5 ohm/m
- Safety factor 3: 1 (threefold safety margin)
- Resistance to multiple bends in 100,000 cycles
- Production according to TU 2557-004-98694431-2012
- Fitting connections: Storz, CPT, Victaulic quick connectors; any connections according to customer drawings
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
The polyurethane layer protects from the following external influences:
- mechanical (abrasion, cuts, bends;
- thermal (outer layer of polyurethane does not burn in the air);
- chemical (gasoline, kerosene, acids, alkalis, salt solutions, fats, alcohols)
- atmospheric (UV radiation, bacterial exposure, erosion, hydrolysis)
- high-tensile textile frame provides the following functions
- resistance to working environment
- high operating pressure
Advantages
Over rubber hoses
- no delamination during prolonged use
- fire resistance
- low weight
- high wear resistance, UV barrier
- non-susceptibility to atmospheric phenomena (corrosion, rotting, delamination)
- high tensile strength
- low susceptibility to deterioration
- fast laying and dismantling
- mode for automatic extraction of residues (while using transporters)
Before filed main pipelines
- high operating pressure
- segment length
- laying and dismantling speed
- any connection fittings
- minimum labor costs due to the automation of laying and dismantling system.
Manufacture period
- from 10 to 40 working days depending on the lot size and the hose parameters
Warranty
- The warranty period for typical service conditions is 12 monthsю
