Smart-Hose Assemblies: Security that targets your weakest link

It's a fact; hose assemblies represent the weak link in all loading, unloading, transfer operations. Most people do not realize that a 4" ID hose that is operating at 200 psi working pressure generates an end force of 2513 lbs. We all know that end force is defined as the force that travels longitudinally along the hose assembly and is the product of hose ID and working pressure. End force is the energy that is trying to blow the fitting out of the hose.

If that 4" hose assemblies experiences a catastrophic failure (i.e. The fitting blows off, the hose is cut in half or the hose stretches to an unsafe condition during a transfer operation) and the viscosity of the material being pumped is equal to water, than 3455 gallon per minute would flow out of the end of the hose.

Obviously a catastrophic hose failure of this magnitude could create a situation that would lead to huge environmental clean-up costs, EPA fines, property damage, personal injury and even death. Our Smart-Hose system can provide you and your company with another layer of security at the weakest part of your loading, unloading, transfer operations.

Unfortunately, your loading, unloading, transfer operations are only as strong as your weakest link. Whether your product transfer application is over the road or is an in-plant transfer operation, our Smart-Hose system can provide you and your company with another layer of security at your weakest link. Any hose, any fitting any application, Smart-Hose technologies can make your transfer operations safer.
