Flexible hose assembly

Flexible hose assembly between two flanged or union ends. Braided: annularly corrugated stainless hose under a stainless braid. Armoured: rubber hose with an interlocked galvanised armour. Both have crimped ferrules, weld collars and weld-neck RF flanges carrying half joint studs. The hose droops by sag but never tighter than bendRadius (default 5 x OD braided, 7 x OD armoured, typical). Rotary: a steel chiksan-style loop of long-radius elbows and ball-race swivel joints (race bands, ball plugs, grease fittings) with Fig 1502 hammer unions on the ends.

Installation

$npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz add flexible-hose

Copies piping/flexible-hose.tsx and the shared lib/ into src/components/deck-twin/. Needs three, @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. See installation for the manual route.

Usage

import { Canvas } from '@react-three/fiber'
import { OrbitControls } from '@react-three/drei'
import { Stage } from './components/deck-twin/lib/stage'
import { FlexibleHose } from './components/deck-twin/piping/flexible-hose'

export default function Scene() {
  return (
    <Canvas shadows camera={{ position: [8, 5, 9], fov: 35 }}>
      <Stage>
        <FlexibleHose />
      </Stage>
      <OrbitControls makeDefault />
    </Canvas>
  )
}

P&ID

P&ID symbol for flexible-hose

A wavy (sinusoidal) line between two end connections, sometimes with "FH" or the hose type noted; drilling rotary hoses and loading hoses are drawn the same way.

tag HOSEISO 10628-2 / PIP PIC001 (flexible hose / connection)

Wavy line = flexible hose; a zig-zag outline = bellows expansion-joint. Some legends tag hoses FH, which clashes with fire hydrants.

For agents

Machine-readable entry with props, ranges, defaults and ports:

$npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz info flexible-hose

Or fetch /r/flexible-hose.json, or copy a ready-made instruction:

Add the Deck Twin "Flexible hose assembly" component to this project. Run `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz add flexible-hose` (it copies the file and the shared lib into src/components/deck-twin/), then `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz info flexible-hose` for its props, ranges and ports. Render <FlexibleHose /> inside a React Three Fiber <Canvas shadows>, wrapped in <Stage> from src/components/deck-twin/lib/stage. Set props from my data (metres, NPS in inches, ASME class) and leave the rest at defaults. Install three, @react-three/fiber, @react-three/drei and @types/three if they're missing.
