Industry: Oil Field

Technological advancements in oil and gas drilling call for hoses that must handle corrosive media, high pressures, and harsh operating environments. While many hose types can be found at these drilling sites, corrugated metal hose is preferred for its high-temperature performance and resistance to the elements and high-sulfur hydrocarbons.

Oil-field applications that use metal hose and expansion joints:

• Large diameter hoses on air compressors
• Fuel supply to engines and gas turbines
• 1500 psi gas hoses for dual-fuel engines
• Exhaust bellows on generator sets, gas compressors, etc.
• BOP hose armor (stripwound hose)
• Steam lines for enhanced oil recovery/EOR operations
