The defini- tions of terms contained in clauses 3.0 and 9.10.1 of API Spec 7K shall apply. A.1 Hose length A.1.1 ROTARY HOSE LENGTH In order to avoid kinking rotary hose, the length of hose and height of standpipe should be such that while raising or lowering the traveling equipment, the bending radius of the hose will not be less than the value of the Minimum Bending Radius (MBR) provided in Table 7 and C.1 of API Spec 7K at the swivel when the traveling equipment is in its lowest drilling position and at the standpipe when the traveling equipment is in its highest drilling position. The recommended length of rotary hose is derived
