1. Offset Motion Offset motion occurs when one end of the hose assembly is deflected in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis with the ends remaining parallel. Formula: L=√6RX+X² Lp=√L²-X² L = Live hose length (inches) * Formula must only be used in inches Note 1: when the offset motion occurs to both sides of the hose centre line, use total travel in the formula; i.e. 2 times ‘’X’’ Note 2: The offset distance ‘’X’’ for constant flexing should never exceed 25 percent of the centre line bend radius ‘’X’’ Note 3: If the difference between ‘’L’’ and ‘’Lp” is significant, exercise care at installation to avoid stress on hose and braid at the maximum offset distance |
2. Horizontal Movable Pipe System
L= 4R+1.57S H1= 1.43R+0.785S H2= 1.43R |
| 3. Vertical Movable Pipe System
L=4R+ H=1.43R+
