Description Every day hoses and piping systems transfer millions of gallons of oil over the waters of Washington State. Keeping these hoses and piping systems in good condition is critical in preventing oil spills.
Oil hoses and piping are subject to expansion and contraction from internal and external pressures and temperatures. Movement or contact with other equipment, corrosion or degradation from the environment frequently cause damage to piping and hoses. Performing annual hydrostatic tests can help determine if your oil transfer system is in good condition and able to perform properly.
