Application context
Tensioner / compensator hoses run between the surface tensioner skid and the marine riser (riser tensioner) or between the heave compensator and the drill string (drill string compensator). They see millions of high-frequency flex cycles — fatigue-rated steel-cable reinforcement is mandatory. API 17J / API 7K cross-reference.
Applicable standards
How to order
Specify (a) the inner diameter, (b) the assembly length, (c) end-fitting flange spec (API 6A flange code, raised-face / ring-joint), and (d) any special service requirements (sour service, sub-zero / Arctic, fire-resistant cover). Indus engineering will confirm the assembly drawing on the RFQ — pressure-test certificates accompany every assembly.
