Flexible drilling rubber hoses play an important role in petroleum extraction. They should suffer high operating pressure, extreme operating temperature, abrasion and other inferior elements. Our special compounded synthetic rubber has been proven an effective and economical way to reject these problems. All our oilfield drill hoses are manufactured as API 7K or other related specifications.

Steel cable reinforcement loads most working pressure up to 15,000psi. The wires are usually zinc-plating or copper platting to improve steel wire resistant against rust and corrosion. Due to the thick reinforcement, the hoses should be handled or stored in correct way to avoid kicking or crushing. They will substantially decrease their rated operating pressure.

Rotary hose, Kelly hose, cement hose, mud hose, jumper hose and vibrator hose and choke & kill hoses are the most popular oilfield rubber hoses. They convey high-pressure drilling fluid from one place to another. Many end fittings are provided to satisfy different applications. Most end fittings are made according to API standards. Special order is also available.

13 Causes Of Hose Failure 1) Mis-application -Perhaps the greatest cause of failure is using a hose, fitting, or clamp in an application that it is not designed for.

2) Kinking at or near the fittings -Once the barb of the fitting cuts into the tube of the hose, the product being conveyed can escape into the reinforcement and eventually lead to bubbling or blistering of the cover within several feet of the end.

3) Temperature Exposure- As temperature increases pressure ratings decrease. Excessive hot or cold temperatures will lead to discoloration, cracking, or hardness - as well the build up of static electricity if hose wire has not been ground properly.

5) External damage to hose carcass -Kinks, crushed sections, and cover damage which exposes reinforcement will eventually break down the reinforcement and lead to a hose failure.

6) Exceeding the minimum bend radius -Kinking, crushing, or forcing a hose to bend beyond its minimum bend radius (measured from the inside edge of the hose, not the centerline). This is commonly seen on high pressure hoses or vacuum hoses.

7) Defective hose or improperly installed or selected clamp -Failure from a defective hose will typically occur in the first few hours of service, such as pin holes, blow-outs, or tube and cover separation. Improperly installed or selected clamps can result in the coupling ejecting from the end of the hose. Always confirm the manufacturer recommendations based on STAMPED information.

8) Tube or cover not compatible with fluids or environment -Usually results in discoloration, swelling, sponginess, or the breakdown of the hose carcass. For material handling hoses, always rotate to ensure even wear of the hose tube.

9) Old age -Hose is not ‘pipe’, it is a flexible component that will degrade over time. Shelf or service life will range from 1 to 20+ years, depending on its composition, application, and environment. Older hoses become discoloured, stiff, or burst at low pressures.

10) Incorrect hose length -Too short of a length does not allow the hose to expand/contract due to changes in pressure or temperature and causes excessive stress on the fittings or hose reinforcement.

11) Twisting hose during installation or service -Twisting a hose rather than naturally bending the hose will reduce life. It is estimated a 7% twist when installing a hose in a permanent application can reduce hose life by 90%.

12) Poor workmanship -Hose and fittings are made of a unique blend of different materials with complex manufacturing methods - human error, inconsistent machinery, or poor product quality or raw materials can result in defects or variances greater than allowable tolerances. As for failure at the end fitting, ends blowing off assemblies can be a result of sub-standard coupling procedures or due to the “mixing-and-matching” of incompatible hose, couplings, or clamps.

13) Contaminated media being transferred -Foreign particles or residue in the fluid or air can flow through the tube and break it down or wear it out prematurely. Always clean hoses prior to installing in field to ensure there is no cross-contamination.

Owing to over twenty years market experiences in supplying high-pressure flexible oilfield rubber hoses, Hebei Qianli Rubber Products Co., Ltd. has been an important partner of many famous customers including America, East Asia, Africa and other countries and regions in the world.

Oilfield drilling hoses are vital components for rig drilling systems. Rotary drilling hose, mud hose, cement hose, Kelly hose, vibrator hose are working under high-pressure. Once the hose failure, it will cause catastrophic damage to the equipment, body health and property. Our professional engineers can help you solve any problem in safe storage, handling and other technical problems.

Drilling hoses should work in harsh environments. Therefore, high performance such as abrasion resistance, pressure capacity and life expectancy should be paid much attention to when you select them. If you have any problem with the drill hoses, contact us – bond@hebeiqianli.com.

Our drilling hoses are equipped with API end fittings – flanges, NPT threads and butt-weld unions to meet requirements on the market. Bespoke end fittings are also available.
