Used for transporting hydraulic fluid between gas filled accumulators and large hydraulic cylinders. Although they are not in direct contact with pressurised gas, the hydraulic fluid will invariably contain dissolved gas after some time, even in configurations with pistons between the gas and the liquid phase. There is a clear risk that this dissolved gas can cause collapse of the hose liner and ultimate failure following decompression. Since API 7K does not include gas exposure testing, it should not be considered for riser tensioner hose applications.
