Rubber petro-
chemical hose
is relatively heavy
and infexible.
Metal hose is stif and frequently
requires the time and expense of
welded-on ends. Parker composite
hose is a unique alternative to
traditional rubber and metal
hose. It provides lighter weight,
superior fexibility, minimal force
to bend and unparalleled kink
and vibration resistance, making
it suitable for a wide array of
petrochemical fuids in loading/
unloading, processing, transfer
and transport applications.
Composite hose incorporates a
strong yet fexible construction
(see Composite Hose Features,
page 4). Te inner helical wire
supports the hose carcass while

Designed for
Petrochem Applications
Petrochemicals are everywhere,
produced in diverse formulations
and incorporated in a multitude
of consumer and industrial
products. Originating at refneries
or processing plants, the chemicals
are transported by a combination
of pipeline systems, railcars, river
barges, over-the-road trucks and
ocean vessels. Since industrial hose
is a vital part of manufacturing,
transfer and transport processes,
it is important to select the most
efective and efcient hose available.
fabric, flm and seamless tubes
are sandwiched between the inner
and outer wires. Te reinforcing
layers of fabric and flm provide
axial strength, tensile strength
and working pressure capability,
while the seamless tubes provide
additional resistance to leaks,
permeation and attack by media
fowing through the hose. Te
outer helical wire balances the
hose construction and increases
abrasion resistance, fexibility and
overall hoop strength (resistance
to collapse). Te helical wires
also provide a suitable path for
conducting an electrical charge
to ground. Together, these
components provide a fexible,
light weight hose for a variety of
applications and a long service life.
Composite Hose fromParker Offers
Lasting Value for Petrochemical Applications

Parker composite petrochemical hose is economical,
flexible, light weight, durable and resistant to
abrasion, kinking and vibration. Parker composite
hose assembly systems—using a new generation of hose
constructions, innovative dry seal coupling technology
and Parker crimping equipment—save time and
expense due to quick fabrication, easy installation
and superior long-lasting performance.
