The cable bend restrictor in the offshore heavy engineering industry is mainly used to protect submarine cables and prevent them from being damaged by excessive bending during installation, transportation, and long-term use.
The marine bend restrictor has the following characteristics in submarine cable protection:
• High performance: Polyurethane vertebrae bend restrictors have excellent corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, and wear resistance, suitable for extreme marine environments, long-term stable operation, service life up to 25 years, andreduced maintenance costs.
• Modular design, flexible adaptation to different needs: With modular bite structure, the length can be increased or decreased according to the use environment, and marine cable protection systems of different sizes, rigidity, and curvature can be provided.
• High load-bearing capacity to ensure cable safety: It can withstand up to 8 tons of lateral pressure, provide strong load-bearing capacity, and ensure cable safety. There is not much pressure on the pipeline.
• Customized design to meet specific application requirements: Subject to customized design, meet the requirements of specific application scenarios and provide personalized solutions.
• Easy to install and reduce construction difficulty: Reasonable design, easy to install, reduces construction difficulty, and improves work efficiency.
Application areas include:
• Offshore wind farms: In the protection of submarine cables in offshore wind farms, cable bend limiters are used at the connection between submarine cables and terminals to prevent damage caused by excessive bending or instability of hoses or submarine cables.• Submarine power transmission: Used in submarine power transmission systems to protect cables from damage caused by excessive bending and ensure the stability and safety of power transmission.
• Offshore oil and gas platforms: In the cable laying of offshore oil and gas platforms, bend limiters are used to protect cables from damage caused by excessive bending during installation and use.
• Marine research equipment: Cable protection for marine research equipment to ensure the normal operation of the equipment in the marine environment.
In short, VBR bend restrictors are mainly used in the offshore heavy engineering industry to protect submarine cables from damage caused by excessive bending and ensure the stability and safety of power transmission and equipment operation.
