Hose String Excessive Tension Protection is an important consideration for loaded marine transfer hoses. Gall Thomson provides application guidance on marine transfer protection, with an emphasis on reducing exposure to abnormal axial loads. The correct solution depends on the terminal arrangement, the hose construction, the transferred medium and the operational risks.

Marine Breakaway Couplings can be positioned in floating, reeled or submerged hose systems, with the location selected for the particular installation. Their purpose is to help limit the consequences of abnormal tension or pressure events rather than replace normal operating safeguards.

For more information about loaded marine transfer hoses, read the Gall Thomson application guidance and contact the technical team to discuss the installation.
