API 16C series flexible throttling and well-killing hose is a high-performance hose designed for the oil and gas industry. It is mainly used for flexible connecting pipelines of throttling and well-killing manifolds and other equipment. It can safely transport oil and gas mixtures containing hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and other dangerous gases, as well as various water-based, oil-based and foam well-killing fluids under high pressure. With its excellent high-pressure, high-temperature and corrosion resistance, API 16C series hose has become an indispensable key component in oil and gas production and well-killing operations.

 

 

Core advantages

 

1. Multi-layer reinforced structure

API 16C series hose uses multi-layer winding high-strength ultra-flexible steel wire or wire rope as a reinforcement layer to ensure that the hose has excellent pressure resistance and flexibility under high pressure. This design can not only withstand extremely high internal pressure, but also effectively resist external shock and vibration.

 

2. High temperature and fire resistance

The outer rubber layer of the hose is made of high temperature and fire resistant synthetic rubber material, which can withstand open flames up to 704℃ for 30 minutes, ensuring safety under extreme fire conditions. In addition, the outer protective layer of the hose is made of stainless steel armor, which further enhances its wear and corrosion resistance.

 

3. Corrosion and hydrogen sulfide resistance

The inner layer is made of hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR), which has excellent oil resistance, corrosion resistance and hydrogen sulfide resistance, and can safely transport oil and gas mixtures containing dangerous gases such as hydrogen sulfide.

 

4. Wide temperature range

The operating temperature range of API 16C series hoses is -29℃ to +121℃ (-20℉ to +250℉), which can meet the needs of operations under extreme climatic conditions.

 

 

Application scenarios

 

API 16C series flexible throttling and well-killing hoses are widely used in the following scenarios:

 

1. Throttling and well-killing manifold: used to connect throttling and well-killing equipment to ensure the safe transportation of high-pressure oil and gas mixtures.

 

2. Oil and gas production: transport oil and gas mixtures containing hydrogen sulfide under high-pressure conditions to ensure the safety of production operations.

 

3. Well-killing operations: used to transport water-based, oil-based and foam well-killing fluids to ensure efficient well-killing operations.

 

4. Offshore platforms: provide reliable flexible connection solutions in harsh marine environments.

 

 

Implementation standards and connector types

 

API 16C series hoses strictly follow API Spec. 16C standards and meet ABS certification requirements to ensure their high quality and reliability in the international market. According to different application requirements, the hoses can be divided into four grades: FSL0, FSL1, FSL2 and FSL3, meeting different requirements from conventional to extreme working conditions.

 

The hose connector types include integral union and integral flange, ensuring high sealing and durability of the connection. Integral union connectors are suitable for quick installation and removal, while integral flange connectors are suitable for systems with large flow and high pressure.
