Design of protection system meets material selection criteria
The Fast-Lok boltless bend restrictors offer the subsea flexible pipe industry three major advantages compared to the traditional 6-bolt systems.
-
A 20 to 30% reduction in equipment cost dependent upon the size of the product.
-
An 80% reduction in installation time
-
A design of protection system that meets the material selection criteria of Norsok M-001
Significant advantages
Fast-Lok bend restrictor systems are fully qualified, with all testing activities performed in-house on our purpose built static load test and dynamic cycling test machines.
The system can be supplied in modular form, pre-assembled with one locking pin. Using the packaging cradles supplied, each 1.5-m to 2m long module can then be quickly interlocked.
The design of the Fast-Lok not only dramatically improves the installation time, but removes any potential for galling of stainless steel fasteners.
API qualified
NORSOK pins
For a long-term subsea design life the locking pins are manufactured from titanium grade-5 in accordance with NORSOK M-001 material selection.
Bespoke design
As with all of our products, a bespoke service is available to suit your specific project requirements.
All custom-made systems are subjected to a formal design process including Finite Element Analysis. The manufacture of each system is carefully controlled and monitored with full material traceability and testing performed.
