Test and Evaluation of Hoses and Connectors for Ship-to-Shore Wastewater Transfer.

摘要

Hose and hose connector components that are applicable for use in ship-to-shore sewage transfer operations are identified,and the results of field and laboratory tests are presented. Hose clamping and mounting procedures are evaluated and hose/connector system tensile strengths are established. An experimental plastic hose,an experimental rubber hose,quick-disconnect bronze connectors and a 3/4-inch wide band-type clamping material were found to be the best-suited materials of those tested for waste transfer operations.
