Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Hose In Hose Transfer Line (HIHTL)?
A Hose In Hose Transfer Line (HIHTL) is comprised of a primary hose within a secondary encasement hose. Primary and secondary hoses have a wide range of end connections and hose materials available.
What advantages does HIHTL have over double-wall pipe?
HIHTL provides a cost-effective and efficient alternative to double-wall containment pipe. It is flexible, easier to install, corrosion resistant, and capable of withstanding extreme chemical and radioactive environments.
What kind of testing does RBTS perform?
We perform pressure integrity, tensile strength, vacuum, thermal cycling, burst testing up to 30,000 psi, electrical conductivity, and unique custom tests like crush testing and shear testing.
