Product description
The Choke & kill and well control hose assemblies (API 16C) is a Well Control Hose (API 16C) from the Continental ContiTech oil & gas hose range. Choke & kill and well control hose assemblies per API 16C — high-pressure circulation during BOP-stack well control operations. Up to 15000 psi MBP.
Construction
- Application: Well Control Hose (API 16C)
- Liner: HNBR / FKM (per assembly spec)
- Reinforcement: Multiple high-tensile steel cable plies + steel armour
- Coupling: flanged
- Service type: well-control
Performance
- Pressure rating: 10000 psi WP, 15000 psi MBP (API 16C)
- Inner diameter range: 2" to 4"
- Operating temperature: -30°C to +121°C
Application context
Well control hoses operate during BOP-stack well kicks — circulating kill mud and routing flowback through the choke manifold. API Specification 16C governs choke & kill lines (10000 psi WP, 15000 psi MBP). API 16D governs BOP control hoses (fire-resistant per ISO 15540). Subsea variants comply with API 17J.
Applicable standards
- API 16C
- API 17J
How to order
Specify (a) the inner diameter, (b) the assembly length, (c) end-fitting flange spec (API 6A flange code, raised-face / ring-joint), and (d) any special service requirements (sour service, sub-zero / Arctic, fire-resistant cover). Indus engineering will confirm the assembly drawing on the RFQ — pressure-test certificates accompany every assembly.
Companion products
Pair with API 6A flanges, swivel joints, and the appropriate manifold valves. Indus is an authorised distributor for the Continental ContiTech and Manuli oil & gas hose ranges.

API 7K, 16C and 16D: which standard governs which hose on a rig
Three API specifications cover three different jobs, and they do not share a design factor. What each one governs, and why a 16C line at 10,000 psi has less margin than a hydraulic hose at 400 bar.
