Explanation of polyurethane dynamic bend stiffener
Polyurethane dynamic bend stiffener is employed in fixed and floating offshore wind farms to protect flexible pipes and power cables from overbending.The polyurethane naterial from which they are nanufactured nakes then suited to the constant waveand current-induced motion of dynamic installations.
Installation location
J-tube or I-tube outlet: Where the cable or umbilical exits the pipe, excessive bending can occur, so a bend stiffener is required.
Riser base, wellhead, or PLEM (pipe end manifold) interface: This is where the flexible pipe or umbilical connects to these rigid structures.
