Air brake tubing is provided having an air brake tube body comprising at least one layer formed from a composition comprising a copolyester, polyethylene terephthalate or polybutylene terephthalate; and a thermoplastic polyurethane.

A hose assembly defines a longitudinal axis and includes an inner core tube, a reinforcement layer, a tensile strength braided layer, and a cover layer. The reinforcement layer surrounds the inner core tube and includes one or more filaments of a fiber. The tensile strength braided layer surrounds the fiber reinforcement layer and includes strands that form a braid pattern. A braid angle of the braid pattern is 10° to 40° relative to the longitudinal axis. A coverage value of the braid pattern is 20% to 50% relative to a surface of a layer adjacent the tensile strength braided layer. The cover layer surrounding the braided layer.

A high-pressure hose includes: an internal rubber layer; an external rubber layer; reinforcement layers having even number of layers, two or more of the reinforcement layers are provided between the internal rubber layer (10) and the external rubber layer (20), a plurality of reinforcement wires (41a to 44a) are wound around the reinforcement layers in a spiral shape such that winding directions of the reinforcement wires (41a to 44a) alternate; and intermediate rubber layers (51 to 54), each of which is disposed between the reinforcement layers (41 to 44) having even number of layers. A same winding angle (α) is set for the reinforcement wires (41a to 44a) in all levels of the reinforcement layers (41 to 44) having even number of layers, and a winding pitch (P) of the reinforcement wires (41a to 44a) in the reinforcement layers (41 to 44) having even number of layers is set to increase in an order from a side of the internal rubber layer (10) to a side of the external rubber layer (20).

A reinforced multi-layer hydraulic hose, including a plurality of anti-pressure layers with coiled wires or yarns at a winding angle of about 54.7° with respect to a longitudinal central axis of the hose, and at least one anti-tensile stress reinforcing layer that improves the resistance to the axial force of the hose and has at least one plait or coil of steel wires at a winding angle of less than 35°, in which the hose, owing to the high resistance to the axial force, can be used in a rectilinear configuration to supply a hydraulic fluid also in the presence of significant axial forces.

Hose embodiments include an inner tube, a reinforcement layer disposed outwardly adjacent the inner tube, and an outer cover layer disposed outwardly adjacent the reinforcement layer. One or more of the inner tube and cover layer may be based upon a curable composition having EPDM, a filler package, and a sulfur curative, and after curing, the hose embodiments meet the testing requirements of the UL 94 standard. In some cases, the inner tube is based upon the curable composition, while in some other cases, the cover layer is based upon the curable composition. Yet, in other cases, the inner tube and the cover layer each is based upon the curable composition. In some aspects, the curable composition includes the EPDM in an amount of from 10% to 30% by weight, or even in an amount of from 30% to 80% by weight.

Air brake tubing is provided having an air brake tube body comprising at least one layer formed from a composition comprising a copolyester, polyethylene terephthalate or polybutylene terephthalate; and a thermoplastic polyurethane.

A flexible pipe body for a flexible pipe for transporting production fluid from a sub-sea location. The flexible pipe body includes an inner sheath layer for retaining fluid within a bore of the flexible pipe body and an outer sheath layer provided radially outwardly of the inner sheath layer. An abrasion layer is provided radially outwardly of the outer sheath layer for protecting the outer sheath layer against abrasion damage. A reinforcement layer is provided between the outer sheath layer and the abrasion layer, for protecting the outer sheath layer against impact damage. The reinforcement layer includes filaments that are woven, braided, knitted or otherwise intertwined.

The reinforcement layer surrounds the inner core tube and includes one or more filaments of a fiber. The tensile strength braided layer surrounds the fiber reinforcement layer and includes strands that form a braid pattern. A braid angle of the braid pattern is 10° to 40° relative to the longitudinal axis. A coverage value of the braid pattern is 20% to 50% relative to a surface of a layer adjacent the tensile strength braided layer. The cover layer surrounding the braided layer.

A hose that includes an inner layer and an outer layer made of an elastic polymeric material, and a textile reinforcement layer interposed between the inner and the outer layers. The inner layer and the outer layer are reciprocally coupled to form a unitary tubular member, within which the textile reinforcement layer is embedded. The unitary tubular member has an elasticity such to automatically elongate under the working pressure given by the liquid flowing therethrough to increase its original length and to automatically recover once the working pressure stops. The textile reinforcement layer is adapted to move from a rest configuration when the working pressure stops to a working configuration when the unitary tubular member elongates under the working pressure, and vice versa.
