Bend Restrictors (BRs) essential components protect marine cables, umbilicals, and flexible pipes by employing a mechanical locking mechanism to prevent the cable from exceeding its Minimum Bend Radius (MBR).
Our innovative design features polyurethane half-shells secured with precision bolts. This streamlined configuration significantly reduces offshore installation time and eliminates the risk of wear associated with traditional stainless-steel fasteners.
Technical Highlights & Design Analysis
Our bend restrictors are engineered for excellence in extreme subsea environments:
Modular Interlocking Structure: The "vertebrae" bite design allows for flexible length adjustments, easily adding or removing segments to match specific cable requirements.
High-Performance Marine Polyurethane: Superior resistance to corrosion, hydrolysis, and abrasion.
High Tensile Strength: Material tensile strength exceeds 55 MPa, ensuring robust structural integrity under load.
Long-Term Reliability: Guaranteed service life of no less than 25 years.
Core Application Fields
Philson’s protection solutions are widely applied across the global offshore energy and telecommunications sectors:
Subsea Infrastructures: Flexible pipes, power cables, and subsea umbilical cables.
Telecommunications: Fiber optic cables and deep-sea communication lines.
Dynamic Systems: Steel pipes and thermoplastic umbilical cables in floating or fixed platforms.
