END FITTING FOR REINFORCED HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE AND METHOD OF ATTACHMENT

摘要

Swage end-connector for high pressure reinforced flexible hose particularly suitable in the petrochemical and drilling industries for hoses. Two connectors are disclosed one for intermediate hose pressure burst ratings up to 12,500 psi and internal diameters up to 31/2 inches and higher hose pressure burst ratings up to 18,750psi and internal diameters up to 4 inches . Both embodiment connectors will withstand the rated burst pressure of the ho se to which they are connected and will withstand a pump-off force that exceeds the burst pressure of the hose. That is, the hose will fail before the connector pops off the hose.
