About the Equipment
The OCIMF Marine Hose Testing Equipment is a controlled hydrostatic test system used for verifying the structural integrity and pressure performance of large diameter marine hoses. The system is designed in alignment with OCIMF operational requirements for marine loading and discharge hose handling and testing procedures.
It is configured to test hoses up to 24 inches in diameter and 40 feet in length, applying a maximum test pressure of 15 bar under controlled workshop conditions. The system is designed strictly for use in non-hazardous areas and operates on a 240V single-phase electrical supply, making it suitable for workshop-based integrity verification environments.
Typical use case: Hydrostatic pressure testing of marine loading hoses prior to deployment at terminals, ensuring structural integrity and leak-free performance under controlled conditions.
Operational Use
- Marine loading hose pressure testing and certification checks
- Pre-deployment integrity verification of export/import hoses
- Workshop hydrostatic testing of large diameter industrial hoses
- OCIMF-aligned hose quality assurance procedures
- Leak detection and pressure retention validation
Safety & Operational Constraints
- Designed strictly for non-hazardous workshop environments
- Requires controlled isolation during pressure testing cycles
- Personnel exclusion zones must be enforced during pressurization
- Electrical supply: 240V single-phase only
Why Fairtex Uses It
Fairtex deploys OCIMF-aligned hose testing systems to support marine terminal operations, ensuring hose integrity before field deployment. The equipment provides controlled pressure validation for large marine hoses, reducing operational risk during offshore loading and discharge activities while supporting maintenance and inspection workflows.
