END CONNECTOR FOR HIGH PRESSURE HIGH TEMPERATURE REINFORCED RUBBER HOSE

摘要

An improved swage fitted end connector for high pressure large diameter reinforced flexible rubber hose utilizing sine-wave locking of the reinforcement and carefully machined internal grippers to cause a portion of the reinforcement wire to connect directly to the connector and particularly suited to the petrochemical and drilling industries is disclosed. A connector for use with high temperature-high pressure large diameter wire reinforced rubber hose is discussed along with other embodiments. All connectors will withstand the rated burst pressure and temperature of the hose without pumping off or leaking; thus, any hose that utilizes the improved device will fail before the connector pops off of the hose. Two alternate embodiments are discussed.
