Aviation Fuel (Standard Duty & Heavy Duty)
Aviation fuel transfer composite hoses are specialized flexible hose designed to transport aviation fuels efficiently and safely, such as Jet-A1 and Avgas, superior kerosene, gasoline and paraffin from pipeline to storage tanks and fuel trucks. These hoses are engineered to withstand the unique demands and stringent safety requirements of the aviation industry. Constructed using a combination of materials such as multiple layers of thermoplastic films, reinforcement fabrics, and various barrier layers, aviation fuel transfer composite hoses offer exceptional durability, flexibility, and resistance to the harsh chemicals and conditions associated with aviation fuels. The layers of these hoses are carefully chosen to ensure compatibility with the fuels, prevent fuel permeation, and maintain structural integrity over a wide range of temperatures and pressures.

Applications
Fuel Truck Loading and Unloading: Aviation fuel is often transported via specialized fuel trucks from storage facilities to the airport. Composite hoses are used to load and unload fuel from these trucks, connecting them to storage tanks.
Fuel Storage Systems: Aviation fuel transfer hoses are used in fuel storage systems at airports, military bases, and other aviation facilities. These hoses are employed to transfer fuel between storage tanks, pipelines, and other fuel handling equipment.
Maintenance and Testing: Aircraft and aviation equipment often require maintenance, testing, and system checks that involve fuel transfer. Composite hoses are used to facilitate these operations safely and efficiently.
Ship- to- Ship Transfers: The heavy duty composite hose is suitable for transferring aviation fuel between two ships at sea. Its robust construction and flexibility make it ideal for dynamic conditions during ship-to-ship transfer.
Military Applications: Military aviation requires specialized fuel handling systems. Composite hoses are used in various military aviation contexts, including air bases, aircraft carriers, and forward operating bases.

Safety Standards
Rigorous Safety Testing
COMPOHOSE assemblies undergo comprehensive testing, conducted at 1.5 times the rated Working Pressure (W.P). This stringent testing adheres to the EN 13765 standard, ensuring a paramount level of safety and reliability.
Provision of Manufacturer's Test Certificate
With each supply of COMPOHOSE composite hose assemblies, a Manufacturer's Test Certificate is included. This certificate serves as a confirmation of the product's quality and compliance with safety standards, providing added assurance to users.
Clear Burst Pressure Specification
The burst pressure of the composite hose is explicitly indicated for ambient temperature conditions. This vital information enhances safety awareness and empowers users to operate within secure pressure limits.
Effective Electrical Continuity
The composite hose's electrical continuity is assured through the integration of two bonded wires connected to the end fitting. This innovative design promotes the dissipation of accumulated electrical charges, mitigating the risk of static flashes and associated hazards.
