Applications
LPG Terminal Operations : In LPG terminals and storage facilities, Compohose LPG are crucial for safe and efficient transfer of fully refrigerated LPG. Compohose can withstand the extreme low temperatures of liquefied gases, ensuring reliable charge and discharge operations.
Truck Loading and Unloading : Compohose LPG is used for the loading and unloading of LPG or ammonia from trucks. The hose ensures a safe and efficient transfer of the gases between the storage tanks at the truck and the storage facilities at the distribution points.
Wagon Transfer : In railway transport, Compohose LPG is employed for transferring liquefied gases between wagons and storage facilities. This is crucial for the efficient transportation of large quantities of LPG or ammonia via rail.
Marine Applications : Compohose LPG is utilized in marine vessels for transferring liquefied gases during bunkering operations. These hoses play a critical role in the safe and controlled transfer of gases from storage tanks onshore or from one vessel to another.
Ship-to-Ship Operations : Ship-to-ship operations involve the transfer of LPG or ammonia from one vessel to another. Compohose LPG ensures a secure and reliable connection between the bunkering facilities on both ships, allowing for the efficient transfer of gases while minimizing the risk of leaks or accidents.

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 13766 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.
