R&D and Design

All your needs from one manufacturer!

Our company is at the cutting edge of high pressure hose and bonded flexible pipe development. Facilities are available for material and component testing and evaluation.
In-house test facilities include programmed high temperature pressure pulsation, burst test up-to 4,000 bar (58,000 psi), mechanized bending tests with or without internal pressure, even at 1,034 bar (15,000 psi), controlled and programmable internal heating, fire test station, chemical compatibility testing etc. State of the art finite element and proprietary inhouse developed special programs are used for hose design.
Cooperation with other ContiTech organizations, Hungarian and foreign universities, research institutes and private R+D firms broaden the possibilities.

Highlights of R&D include: invention of the epoxy bonded coupling, the conical coupling, hose building machinery, gas leading ply, major improvements in hose strength and flexibility, the first long length large bore high pressure line, the first floating high pressure line etc.

All prototype tests are carried out under the rigorous control of DNV, Lloyd’s or other third parties, irrespective of where the test is done in-house: in the USA or abroad.

The company’s R&D and engineering activities are supported by the application of cutting edge software such as:

• 2-D and 3-D CAD
• Non-linear FEA
• Hydrodynamic analysis
• Fatigue analysis
• In-house developed technical information system and simulation facilities

All these capabilities ensure efficiency and the ability to perform quick custom design of special hoses. We offer customised solutions for any application!

This is our philosophy, which is strongly supported by our R&D activity.
