In this episode, Steve Springer, a materials engineer at Chemours Engineering, joins co-hosts Heather Allain and Marc Cook to discuss the critical role of flexible hoses in chemical facilities. They cover a range of topics, including a tragic incident that resulted in a fatality, the importance of having a robust hose program, and key considerations in hose design and construction. The conversation also touches on appropriate and inappropriate uses, corrosion allowance, inspection protocols, full penetration welds for end connections, pressure and vacuum ratings, and best practices for installation.   Corrosion Chronicles is produced by Association Briefings.   Show notes To download the Reliability Guidelines for Flexible Hoses book: Members: https://access.mti-global.org/record/571?ln=en&v=pdf Nonmembers: https://www.mti-global.org/participate/public-library/flexible-hose-reliability-guide
