Hose Making
Getting customers back up and running again when things go wrong has always been a priority for us at DH Marine.
Using the right components for hose assemblies is vital, because fit, performance and material selection significantly affect operational reliability. That's why we've teamed up with Hydroscand and invested in a dedicated hose making facility, complete with hose cutter and swaging machine, to make up a new hose assembly whilst you wait!
If it's out of normal hours and you need a hose in a hurry, you can contact our 24/7 emergency on call engineers and they will normally respond within 2 hours to get you out of a fix.
Using their knowledge and experience our dedicated team are able to provide advice if necessary, so you don’t leave without a solution.

Hose Testing
Along with our hose making capabilities we have invested in a pressure testing machine. It can test up to 43,000 psi (3,000 Bar) and can be used to test a range of fluid carrying components, including hoses, pipes, valves, cylinders and couplings. The max. component size is 1590mm x 795mm x370mm and there is no restriction on hose length.
The machine uses a water/oil emulsion to generate the pressure, and a digital control system allows for a variety of test parameters to be set, with a test certificate produced as evidence for assurance purposes.
And If You've Had a Hose Burst
We stock a range highly efficient spill kits, made up of a 100% organic absorbent called SORBXT. It can be used on any surface to clean up accidental spills- see here for more details
