Increased production and efficiency requires better methods and equipment. In the past, traditional vertical down hole drilling involved only static pressures. The popular rotary hose coupling design for the steady high pressures at that time was the built-in epoxy coupling. Production competition led to the development of directional drilling and down linking with negative pressure pulses and elevated temperatures. Built-in epoxy couplings do not hold up as well to the hammering effect of dynamic pressures and higher temperatures. Since 1998, Gates has offered a high performance dynamic pressure rated assembly with swage-on couplings that meet the demands of today’s higher performance drilling methods. This advanced coupling has no set screws to loosen with the pounding vibrations of directional drilling and down-linking. There are no nipple seals to leak. And there is no Epoxy to break down at the elevated temperatures that are experienced in these dynamic drilling procedures. These new dynamic couplings are performance proven (see data in Section 2). Gates Rotary Drilling, Vibrator, Cementing, Sour Service, Choke and Kill, Motion Compensator and Decoking oilfield hoses shown in this section have couplings attached by a Gates Internally Certified Fabricator from hose already in their stock. This greatly reduces the lead time required to supply product meeting customer specific needs. The advantage is that hose from the Fabricators stock can be cut to the customer’s specified length. Couplings are then swaged-on, tested to API 7K standards and then shipped all in a matter of a few hours. Avoid damaging twisting of hoses by means of GS-Hydro Swivels..
