Enhancing Marine Safety with Subsea Cable Bend Restrictors
A submarine pipeline is a pipeline that is laid on the seabed or below it in a trench. Some of the pipeline may also be on land. Submarine pipelines are used primarily to carry oil or gas, but transportation of water is also important. Considering the complex situations of sizeable pipeline construction projects, such as offshore ecology, geohazards and environment loading. Bend restrictor become more dispensable for subsea cables and umbilicals.
Subsea cable bend restrictor was designed to safeguard subsea umbilicals, cables, flexible jumpers, flexible flowlines, and riser touchdown zones. However, it has also found numerous applications across various industries.
For the offshore oil & gas, offshore wind energy projects, subsea cable bend restrictor offers cost-effective localized protection against impact and abrasion. It is supplied in pairs of interlocking half shells that are securely fastened around the core product using circumferential straps.
Philson bend restrictor is manufactured in a range of polyurethane elastomer grades, depending on specific operational conditions, and can be supplied in a wide range of diameters, thicknesses and lengths. Typical lengths are determined by the individual half shell weight and can vary from 500-2000mm.
Philson Intelligent Equipment is a Chinese factory mainly engaged in the production of marine construction, including bend restrictors, submarine cable protection systems, cable protection tubes, bend limiters, and customized polyurethane tubes for offshore platforms and offshore wind projects.
