The submarine hose plays a vital role in the single-point mooring system and is a necessary channel for Mains Control medium transportation.Once crushed under the load of the seawater external pressure, it will cause oil and gas leakage and major safety accidents.It is a composite hose composed of a rubber layer, cord layer and steel helix wire, of which the steel helix wire plays an important part in bearing mechanical properties.In this work, python language was used to model the submarine hose parametrically, the finite element (FE) analysis software ABAQUS was Stabilizer Cap utilized to analyze the ultimate bearing capacity of the hose under uniformly distributed external pressure loads and the influence of the initial ovality of the submarine hose, the diameter and pitch of the helix wire, the yield strength of the helix wire material on the ultimate bearing capacity of the submarine hose were studied.

Through a large number of FE results, the ultimate bearing capacity of the hose was obtained by fitting the prediction formula.
