DGDG-EU bend restrictor standardisation October MMXIII

description

Bend Restrictors Are present at the interface between flexible service lines (flexible flow-lines, umbilicals or cables) and rigid structures to prevent the over-bending of the service line during installation and service. They are designed to be flexible but lock at a bend radius (MBR) greater than that of the service line, providing protection to the line from buckling or over bending. Near neutrally buoyant half vertebra (shore 82D) are joined with corrosion resistant fasteners (UNS S32760). Using extensive experience DGDG-EU have designed standard parts that comply with API 17J.

Polyurethane bend restrictors• Are present at the interface between flexible service lines (flexible flow-

lines, umbilicals or cables) and rigid structures to prevent the over-bending of the service line during installation and service.

• They are designed to be flexible but lock at a bend radius (MBR) greater than that of the service line, providing protection to the line from buckling or over bending.

• Near neutrally buoyant half vertebra (shore 82D) are joined with corrosion resistant fasteners (UNS S32760).

• Using extensive experience DGDG-EU have designed standard parts that comply with API 17J.

Example T033 Vertebra internal Ø (d )

& minimum lock radius (r ) • Element internal Ø (d ) = 0.34m• MBR (l ) = 0.34m x 10 = 3.4m • r = MBR + 20% • r = 4.1m

Note: r is the centre of the unloaded restrictor geometry.

Bolt calculations

Are not covered in this presentation, to determine the bolt size extensive calculation is required for each restrictor involving the compressive strength of the polyurethane and the tensile strength of the bolt material. The sizes on the following chart are based upon established historic values.

Bespoke design

• What are the possibilities to go outside the standard manufacturing program?

• DGDG-EU has experience and knowledge to design all types of bend restrictors, from polyurethane to steel and hybrids.
