These nitrile blend oil and gas exploration hose assemblies have a bruiser cover that provides substantially more abrasion resistance than a corrugated synthetic rubber cover. This helps reduce the risk of hose failure when used in areas where the hose will encounter abrasive materials or surfaces. The hoses are made from a nitrile rubber blend and are less likely to fail in oil-exposure applications than hoses made from a standard rubber material. These hoses are suitable for use with petroleum-based fluids, nonpotable water, salt water, fracturing solutions, and slurries.

These nitrile blend oil and gas exploration hose assemblies are rated for vacuum applications. They have a corrugated synthetic rubber cover that minimizes friction when dragging the hose, which reduces the effort it takes to move and handle the hose compared to nitrile blend oil and gas exploration hoses with a bruiser cover. The hoses are made from a nitrile rubber blend and are less likely to fail in oil-exposure applications than hoses made from a standard rubber material. These hoses are suitable for transfer applications, including drilling mud or crude oil. They are not recommended for use with refined petroleum products.
