Bend protection solutions can refer to bend limiters, polyurethane cable protection tubes, bend reinforcement ribs and other submarine cable protection accessories. Generally, they refer to bend limiters. The vertebrae are designed with a certain range of movement. When the bending limit value is reached, they will no longer bend, thereby protecting flexible cables such as umbilical cables and streamer cables.
The bend protection solution is cast from high-strength polyurethane, one-piece molding, with excellent pressure resistance and resilience, which can effectively withstand bending stress under high pressure and protect the cable from damage.
Main features of 55MPa polyurethane bend limiter:
● High pressure resistance: can withstand pressure up to 55MPa
● Excellent elasticity and flexibility
● Strong seawater corrosion resistance
● Equipped with sensors to monitor the cable status in real time
● Prevent excessive bending of offshore wind power cables or offshore oil and gas platform pipelines
Customized bend limiter
The bend limit length of each unit is generally 5 meters and 8 meters, which can be customized.
The density, color, and performance of the bend limiter can be customized, such as high temperature resistance, friction resistance, etc. The general service life is 25 years, achieving low cost, low maintenance, and high efficiency.
Philson can customize the bend limiter according to your specific operation. We develop special polyurethane systems for typical offshore applications. Contact us for consultation.
