Because of the isolated and vulnerable environments covering working and living conditions at sea it is critical that safety critical products used on ships and offshore facilities are of a known quality, have been manufactured correctly and are safe to use in approved applications under emergency conditions.

Drinking water KTW

Certification of materials and products used in drinking water applications is a requirement in many countries to prevent contamination of the drinking water supplies and protect the health of the consumer. Kongsberg Automotive Fluid Systems have been certified for KTW, not only for the material but also for the manufacturing of the hose itself .

Validation disclaimer

PTFE hoses can be used to convey hazardous fluids, steam and other dangerous materials which can cause personal injury or property damage. The customer is therefore responsible for all validation and testing prior to issuing those assemblies into application.

Pressure testing

The responsibility rests completely on the purchaser to ensure robust and effective testing of every hose assembly before supplying for final use. All hoses are checked extensively throughout all stages of manufacture, and random samples of hose are proof pressure tested. 100% testing can be offered on all products, but does incur a premium. Please contact our sales department.
