High Pressure Flexible Metal Hose With Corrosion Resistance And Long Service Life

High Pressure Flexible Metal Hose With Corrosion Resistance And Long Service Life

Description

Hongruntong Marine Metal Hose is a high-strength flexible metallic support and load-transfer solution developed for demanding shipyard, port, and offshore operations. Manufactured from premium-grade steel with a precision-formed corrugated structure, the Metal Hose combines exceptional compressive strength with controlled flexibility, allowing it to perform reliably under high static and dynamic loads.

The metallic construction ensures superior resistance to abrasion, deformation, corrosion, and harsh marine environments. Unlike traditional rubber hoses or wooden blocks, Metal Hose maintains dimensional stability over repeated use while providing predictable elastic behavior. This makes it particularly suitable for applications where safety, repeatability, and long-term cost efficiency are critical.

Case Study – Ship Launching Support in a Commercial Shipyard

A shipyard in Southeast Asia deployed Hongruntong Marine Metal Hose during the launching of a 16,500 DWT general cargo vessel. The project faced challenges due to uneven slipway surfaces and high localized loads that had previously caused premature wear on rubber supports. The Metal Hose units were installed beneath key hull contact points to evenly distribute loads during the launching process. The vessel was successfully launched without abnormal vibration or hull stress, and post-operation inspection confirmed that the Metal Hose units remained structurally intact. The shipyard subsequently adopted the product as a standard reusable support solution, reporting improved safety and reduced consumable costs.

Specifications

Product Features

High Load Bearing Capacity

The Metal Hose is engineered to withstand extreme compressive forces through its reinforced corrugated metal structure. This design allows the hose to support heavy vessels and offshore modules without permanent deformation, ensuring consistent performance even under peak load conditions.

Excellent Abrasion and Wear Resistance

Constructed entirely from metal materials, the hose resists surface wear caused by sliding contact with hulls, steel structures, or concrete surfaces. This significantly extends service life compared to elastomeric alternatives.

Controlled Flexibility and Shock Absorption

The corrugated structure provides controlled elastic deformation, enabling the Metal Hose to absorb impact loads and minor misalignments. This reduces stress concentration on supported structures and improves overall operational safety.

Reusable and Low Maintenance Design

Designed for repeated deployment, the Metal Hose requires minimal maintenance between uses. Routine visual inspection is sufficient, making it a cost-effective and sustainable solution for long-term operations.

Applications

Ship Launching and Slipway Operations

Metal Hose is widely used as a support and load-distribution element during vessel launching. It compensates for uneven surfaces and absorbs dynamic loads, ensuring smooth and controlled movement of the vessel while minimizing structural stress.

Dry Docking and Ship Maintenance

During dry docking, the Metal Hose serves as a reliable temporary support under hull sections. Its controlled flexibility allows it to adapt to hull geometry variations, providing stable support throughout inspection and repair activities.

Offshore Construction and Module Installation

In offshore projects, Metal Hose is applied as a temporary support or load-transfer component during module positioning and installation. It helps maintain alignment and reduces impact forces during heavy-lift operations.

Port and Heavy Equipment Support

The product is suitable for supporting cranes, skids, and heavy marine equipment in port environments. Its durability and adaptability make it ideal for temporary setups where traditional rigid supports are impractical.
