With ongoing globalisation taking place, it is becoming more and more important to use products with the best quality. SPIR STAR manufactures ultra-high pressure hoses for niche markets. We concentrate on specific markets and will attend to the future requirements of the oil and gas industry.
The growing importance of quality standards is reflected by the company philosophy. SPIR STAR was certified according to ISO 9001 in 1995 for the first time. Since then, SPIR STAR has been recertified regularly.
The implementation of SPIR STAR’s company philosophy combined with the directives of ISO 9001 show in the product quality. This includes the selection, the combination and the continuous inspection of the raw materials, the optimisation of the individual stages of production and the quality tests of the finished products by means of internal test procedures as well as by external testing institutions.
The concentration of responsibilities and know-how at SPIR STAR’s location in Germany permits the direct and fast access to all in-house departments and resources from product-specific consulting to development and production. SPIR STAR puts particular emphasis on continuing education and training of the technical staff and investments in the German location. Therefore, 100% of the SPIR STAR thermoplastic high-pressure hoses have been ‘made in Germany’ since 1981.
As a result of continuous development work for the oil and gas sector and as a milestone SPIR STAR manufactured the first PVDF (polyvinylidenfluoride) hose in 1999 and introduced it to the market successfully. The unique hoses that belong to the PPA-series and the HT-series target high-pressure and high temperature (HP/HT) applications such as being used in umbilicals. The key features are low permeation needed for methanol service, high resistance against temperatures of up to 150°C (300°F) and high chemical resistance.
