Combustion Improvers - Hose Couplings and Petroleum Products
Marine hose couplings used with petroleum-product hoses provide detachable, leak-resistant connections for loading, bunkering, fuel transfer, and cargo operations. The required coupling type depends on hose size, pressure, fluid compatibility, connection standard, and vessel or terminal requirements.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Combustion Improvers for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Applicable requirements may include EN 14420 series for hose couplings, EN 1765 for rubber hose assemblies for liquid petroleum products, ISO 1825 for aircraft fuelling hose where applicable, and API or terminal-specific requirements. Certification depends on the coupling design and complete assembly. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Individual couplings are not universally class-approved. Complete marine hose assemblies or bunkering systems may require approval or acceptance by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, ClassNK, or another designated authority. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Confirm hose size, pressure rating, connection type, seal material, fluid compatibility, and flow direction before installation. Use the manufacturer's torque and assembly instructions. Support the hose to prevent excessive bending and avoid side loading on the coupling. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect body, locking devices, threads, flanges, swivel joints, and seals before use. Check for leakage, corrosion, deformation, and worn gaskets. Clean couplings after petroleum transfer and replace damaged seals or locking components with approved parts. |
| Safety Notes | Depressurize, drain, and isolate the hose before disconnecting. Bond and ground equipment where required to control static electricity. Use suitable PPE, spill containment, and hazardous-area procedures. Never exceed the lowest pressure or temperature rating of the complete assembly. |
