API 7K Kelly Hose & API 16D Fire Proof Flexible Hose (UAE Drilling Rig Grade)
In modern oilfield exploration across the United Arab Emirates (UAE), high-pressure fluid circulation and reliable blowout prevention are essential for safe and efficient drilling. Shanghai PME Industrial manufactures premium high-pressure flexible hoses, including the 2″ x 45 ft Kelly Hose (API 7K, WP 5000 PSI) and the 1″ x 6 m Fire Proof Flexible Hose (API 16D, WP 6000 PSI). These assemblies are engineered to withstand extreme desert temperatures, severe hydraulic pulsation, and rigorous well control service conditions.
This export package combines dynamic rotary mud transfer lines with thermal-resistant armored well control lines, securely packed in heavy-duty plywood crates for safe marine and overland transport to UAE drilling sites.
High-pressure rotary drilling hose with 2″ FIG 1502 male x female hammer union connections.
Stainless steel armored well control hose with 1″ NPT male threads for UAE rig service.
Heavy-duty export plywood crate packing designed for safe sea freight transit to UAE.

Application Analysis: API 7K vs. API 16D Hoses in UAE Drilling Sites
In rigorous onshore and offshore drilling operations across the United Arab Emirates, deploying correct fluid control and well safety hoses is paramount. This order highlights two distinct applications:
1. Dynamic Mud Circulation via API 7K Kelly Hose
The 2″ x 45 ft WP 5000 PSI Kelly Hose acts as the flexible bridge between the standpipe and the moving top drive system. Built with multiple high-tensile steel wire plies and integral 2″ FIG 1502 hammer union ends, it handles high-velocity abrasive drilling mud pulsation and continuous vertical flexing during drilling.
2. Thermal Safety Protection via API 16D Armored Hose
The 1″ x 6 m WP 6000 PSI Fire Proof Armored Hose is deployed for critical hydraulic BOP control lines. Featuring an interlocking stainless steel armor shield over thermal insulation layers, it meets API 16D standards to preserve hydraulic integrity under extreme heat or direct flame exposure in harsh desert environments.
