Bend Restrictors for Offshore Protection
A bend restrictor is a device designed to control or limit the bending of a flexible cable, hose, or pipeline to prevent damage from over-bending.
I. Vertebrae Bend Restrictor: Core Product Features
As a cutting-edge solution in cable protection systems, this product’s core advantages focus on three dimensions: flexibility, strength, and lightweight design.
Versatile and Flexible Protection: It combines flexibility and durability, allowing it to conform to the shapes of various cables and umbilicals. Meanwhile, its robust structure effectively prevents cables from over-bending or buckling due to excessive pressure in subsea installation scenarios.
Balance Between Lightweight and High Strength: The design aims to "reduce mass per meter" without sacrificing strength. By using advanced polymer materials, it maintains structural integrity even under extreme operating conditions. It is particularly suitable for long-distance subsea cables such as fiber optic cables and flowline cables, significantly improving installation efficiency.
II. Application Scenario: Offshore Operation Protection
The protective function of the vertebrae bend restrictor widely covers key links in offshore operations, ensuring the stability of infrastructure in harsh environments.
Its applicable scenarios include wellhead connections, rigid pipe crossovers, etc. The main objects to be protected are cables, umbilicals, and flexible risers.
It can be extended to submarine cable protection, resisting the impact of complex subsea environments such as mechanical stress and seawater corrosion. This prevents system performance degradation and ensures the integrity of infrastructure.
