Product Description
YOKOHAMA PNEUMATIC RUBBER FENDER WITH GL, ISO 17357
Floating Pneumatic Rubber Fenders which is made of synthetic-cord-reinforced rubber sheet with compressed air inside to enable it to float on the water and work as a shock absorber between two ships (ship-to-ship), or between ships and berthing structures when they come alongside each other on the water.
Note: The floating pneumatic rubber fenders have sometimes been colloquially referred to as "Yokohama Fenders" or "Yokohama type fenders" - ISO 17357:2002 Ships and marine technology - High-pressure floating pneumatic rubber fenders.
ADVANTAGE OF FLOATING PNEUMATIC RUBBER FENDERS
Floating pneumatic rubber fenders can be easily handled and installed with guy-rope or guy-chain because of its light weight. It can resist the shearing force and maintain energy absorption level under inclined compressionup to 15 degrees. Meanwhile, provide the low and comparatively even hull pressure.
Consisted of several synthetic-cord layers and tough abrasion resistant out rubber, they have consistent performance even under rough condition and cyclic load. The maintenance cost and damage risk are minimised too. The best material also ensure the self-buoyancy and extremely long service life.
REQUIREMENTS OF FLOATING PNEUMATIC RUBBER FENDERS
Floating pneumatic rubber fenders shall consist of an out rubber, reinforcement synthetic-tyre-cord layer, and inner rubber, vulcanized firmly.
The out rubber are used to protect the cord layers and inner rubber from abrasion and other external forces. This rubber compound have sufficient tensile and tear resistance strength to withstand anticipated weather conditions and severe usage.
The reinforcement synthetic-tyre-cord layer strong enough to maintain the internal air pressure of the fender
The inner rubber layer seals the pressurized air inside the fender
Fenders of diameter 2500mm and larger equipped with safety valve for releasing excess internal pressure when the fenders are over-compressed accidentally.
The properties requirements of outer and inner rubber material of floating pneumatic rubber fenders comply with ISO 17357:2002.
