SPIR STAR® AG Ultra-High Pressure Hose Solutions for the Oil and Gas Industry

SPIR STAR® is a leading provider of robust high-pressure hose systems and auxiliary equipment that have been specially developed to deliver superior performance across a wide range of critical offshore applications.

It offers an extensive selection of thermoplastic hoses to address the unique requirements of the marine, water blast and hydraulic industries, featuring working pressures of up to 58,000psi (4,000bar) and inner diameters ranging from 0.125in (3mm) up to 1in (25mm) depending on clients’ needs.

High-quality hose systems for the marine sector

As an established global supplier of heavy-duty hose products, SPIR STAR operates corporate branches in the US, France, Singapore and China, while collaborating with selected authorised distribution partners worldwide to ensure all clients receive highly responsive customer service, in-depth technical support and fast delivery times.

 We are dedicated to continually improving the quality and effectiveness of both our products and support services, and our ongoing research and development (R&D) efforts have contributed to our reputation for excellence across a versatile array offshore, hydraulic, water blast and automotive industry applications.

Ultra-high pressure hose assemblies for offshore projects

SPIR STAR’s cutting-edge hose systems have been deployed by major oil and gas companies for more than 30 years and relied upon for a wide variety of marine projects worldwide, ranging from the North Sea to the Gulf of Mexico.

Its hard-wearing solutions are used in a broad number of subsea applications, including offshore pipeline bundles, chemical injection operations and methanol servicing activities, as well as hydraulic component control. We are able to supply hose systems in a versatile range of configurations and lengths up to 15,000ft depending on the intended application.

SPIR STAR’s durable hose assemblies are characterised by their low permeation rate and excellent resistance to chemicals, detergents and solvents, while their resilient outer covers have been specially designed to protect against external pressures, hydrolysis and microbes, making them ideal for harsh deepwater locations.

SPIR STAR’s hose solutions have proven to exhibit low volumetric expansion, even at maximum working pressure, and are compatible with extreme temperatures up to 150°C (300°F). Furthermore, their robust design means they have a small bend radius at maximum flow rates, enabling consistently superior performance over prolonged and intensive deployment periods.

Industry-certified hose solutions for subsea applications

All of SPIR STAR’s products are ‘Made in Germany’ at the company’s dedicated manufacturing facility and are fully certified in accordance with the latest ISO 9001: 2015 quality management requirements to ensure excellent results and long service-life.

Its hoses meet or exceed industry-specific standards such as ISO 13628-5 for the oil and gas industry, and we are committed to addressing the growing global demand for higher pressure capabilities and adhering to the increasingly stringent safety regulations of each sector.

The company’s hoses are extensively tested prior to delivery using the latest testing systems, including impulse test stands, tensile strength and burst pressure test equipment in order to verify each unit’s ability to achieve optimum performance. EN 10204 test certificates can be supplied for individual assemblies upon request.

In addition to an extensive range of standard hose systems, the company’s experienced staff are able to collaborate with clients to devise bespoke products that meet their unique project-specific requirements.
