In order to achieve the required overall length, section of oil export hose may be secured together using bolted flanges. The presence of a flange creates a projection which can snag cables used during mooring and handling operations. This problem can be avoided by fitting our flange protectors to the intermediate connections.
Our flange protectors comprise two profiled half shells which fit closely around the flange. The halves are secured together by a set of metallic fasteners resulting in a smooth and continuous external profile to the oil export hose.
Features
The flange protector body is moulded from tough and resilient polyurethane elastomer. The material is highly resitant to impact and abrasion and is relatively unaffected by long term exposure to sea water. The system design life will determine which fastener material is selected. Stainless steel is commonly specified.
