1. What’s fracturing hose?

• Frac hose features a composite construction of steel and rubber, offering a robust alternative to traditional flow irons in fracking wellsite operations.

2. What are the benefits of fracturing hose?

The benefits of frac hose over flow irons are listed below:

• Excellent simplicity and flexibility 

Flexibility is added to the rig-up of frac operations by frac hose. Compared to conventional flow irons, it is significantly lighter and simpler to use.

• Security

Frac hoses streamline protects the crews from potential equipment accidents and offers a clear path in times of emergencies by replacing the convoluted manifold iron fleet.

• Cost-cutting

For each site, hundreds of standard flow irons, assemblies, and seals can be replaced using frac hose because it lengthens service life and reduces protentional leak points. Additionally, it significantly shortens downtime and increases efficiency.

3. What types of fracturing hose and what are their applications?

Frac hose is available in different types for various applications, it mainly includes below applications:

• High-Pressure Frac Hose: This type of frac hose features high pressure and high-performance abrasion resistance, it works best for conveying fracturing fluid from the blender to the frac pumps in fracturing wellsite.
• Suction and delivery hose: This hose is for fluid transfer operations such as hydrocarbon fuels and mineral oils in tank trucks and other industrial fluids.
• Suction and discharge hose: This type of hose is used for petroleum-based products transfer.

4. What is the most common construction of a high pressure frac hose?

Although each frac hose manufacturer uses a different material to create their own, they are all essentially made of rubber and steel wires in bonded construction.

YITAI frac hoses are bonded construction of inner tube, reinforcement, and over cover.

Inner tube: It is made of UHMW-PE film combined with synthetic rubber.

Reinforcement: 6 layers of high strength spiral steel wires

Outer cover: Abrasion and weather resistant synthetic rubber

Repairing a high-pressure frac hose is a specialized task due to the demanding conditions under which the hoses operate and the critical safety considerations. It's essential to follow a precise repair protocol to ensure the integrity and safety of the hose. Here's a basic guide to repairing high-pressure frac hoses:

•  Inspect the Hose: Carefully examine the entire length of the hose for signs of wear, damage, or failure. Look for abrasions, cuts, punctures, and any other deformities.
• Assess the Damage: Determine if the damage is repairable or if the hose should be replaced. Repairs should only be performed on areas of the hose that are specifically designed to be repairable, and the damage must be within certain limits according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
•  Prepare the Hose: If the hose is repairable, release any pressure from the system and clean the damaged area thoroughly. The hose should be dried before any repair procedures are commenced.
•  Use Professional Repair Kits: Obtain a repair kit that is specifically designed for high-pressure frac hoses. These kits typically include materials that can withstand the high-pressure operational requirements of the frac hose.
•  Follow Manufacturer’s Repair Instructions: Carefully follow the instructions provided by the hose manufacturer or the repair kit. This may involve preparing and applying a patch or replacement section of hose, using adhesives and clamps, or vulcanizing the damaged area.
•  Curing Process: After the repair material is applied, it may need to cure for a specific amount of time. This is critical to ensure that the repair sets properly and can handle the operational pressures.
•  Pressure Testing: Once the repair has cured, perform a pressure test to make sure the repair is holding and that the hose can return to service safely. This should be done in a controlled environment following safety protocols.
•  Documentation: Record the details of the repair and any pressure testing results for future reference and compliance with safety regulations.
•  Periodic Monitoring: After repairs, the hose should be monitored more frequently to ensure it remains in good working condition.

Please note that due to the risks involved with high-pressure equipment, it is recommended that repairs are performed by qualified personnel with proper training and that the repaired hose is used in accordance with the latest safety standards and guidelines. In many cases, replacement may be the safer and more cost-effective option over repair, depending on the extent of the damage.

6. How to choose the best fracturing hoses for your oilfield applications?

Improper selection of the frac hoses and the fittings may cause serious damage or injuries in the wellsite frac applications to your crews. You need also note that the frac hoses are also subject to degrade over time and need appropriate routine inspection and maintenance. In order to increase the frac hose service life and reduce downtime, it is quite necessary to discuss some criteria questions with your frac hose manufacturer to get the right product. They are mainly:

Size:

I.D.: What inside diameter of frac hose is required?

O.D.: What’s the required outer diameter?

Length: How long is required of a frac hose?

Other Special: Any specific requirement on the overall length including fittings?

Temperature:

Conveying Medium: What’s the temperature of the product being conveyed?

Cover: What temperature will the external cover be subject to?

Applications:

Where will this frac hose be used?

How will it be installed or handled?

Will the hose be subject to any dragging, oils/chemicals, etc?

Is it a critical, permanent application?

Materials:

What’s the material being conveyed through the hose?

If it is a chemical, identify the concentration

If it is a material, is it wet or dry?

What size are the particles?

Are they sharp or abrasive?

Pressure:

What’s the maximum working pressure?

Are there any pressure surges?

Fittings

What kind of fitting is required?

Delivery

When is the frac Hose required?

7. What fittings are available for fracturing hoses?

There are various types of fittings available for frac hoses as per specific applications and your requirements. The most common fittings are:

1502 Hammer Unions

API 15K Flange

API 16A Flange

API 20K Flange

GrayLoc Clamp Coupling

After selection of the appropriate frac hoses, proper operations and routine maintenance are also critical in extending your frac hoses lifetime. There are some dos and don’ts that need to be taken care of during your daily operations.

Request quality products and make sure all necessary technical info is stamped on the product.

Know the limits of temperature, working pressure, and compatibility of your frac hose and fittings, never operate a hose towards its highest recommended working pressure while at or near its maximum temperature range.

When you are not ready to use the frac hose, do keep it in a cool, dark, and clean place. Never store your frac hoses in places exposed to heat, direct sunlight, or humidity.

Do regular testing and inspection on your frac hoses to check if any gouges, bulges. Never use your frac hoses in permanent, non-visible locations.

Inspect consistently and regularly the fittings as well to make sure they are working without any leakage, loose parts, corrosion, or any other deformities. In case of any, consult the technician or manufacture for possible repair work or replacement of new hoses.

Bend your frac hoses naturally. Never crush a hardwall or bend it with an unreasonable twist

Handle your frac hoses with care during installation and operation. Never drag it over sharp or abrasive surfaces or pull by the ends. The abrasion is the most common cause of hose failure in the oilfield.

Over 90% of all hose failures come from the outer cover outside instead of media being conveyed inside.

The tighter you bend your frac hose, the more vulnerable that hose becomes once pressurized.

Temperature influences strongly the working pressure of your frac hose. While the temperature goes up, the recommended working temperature goes down.

A surge above the maximum working pressure of your frac hose shall never be allowed.

The most vulnerable and weakest place of the hose is typically the connection part of the hose and its fittings.
