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.

Description

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.

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
