Bending restrictor for a ship research institute in Germany
Bend restrictors automatically lock up to prevent excessive bending when flexible flowlines, umbilicals, and cables meet hard structures.
Unlike bend stiffeners, which only offer protection when the pipe has reached the necessary bend radius between the flexible line and rigid structures, such as wellhead connections, J-tube exits, rigid pipe crossovers, and PLET connections, they are typically utilized in static applications.
Philson bend restrictors offer cost-effective solutions through optimized design techniques, a continuing development program, and the use of numerous rigid PU grades. They are specifically designed to meet or exceed customer requirements throughout the oil & gas, renewable energy, and defense industries.
They are provided as bolted-together two-piece units.
