ISO14409 Marine Ship Launching Airbags for Shipyards/Docking/Ships/Vessels

Description

Ship launching airbags are specialized inflatable bags used for launching and dry docking ships. They provide a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional launching methods such as slipways and cranes.

These airbags are made of reinforced rubber layers and are designed to withstand high pressure and heavy loads. They are typically cylindrical in shape with tapered ends, allowing for easier installation and removal.

The process of using ship launching airbags involves placing multiple airbags underneath the ship's hull, which is then pumped with compressed air to gradually lift and launch the vessel. The airbags evenly distribute the weight and help prevent damage to the ship during the launching process.

Ship launching airbags are commonly used in shipyards, repair facilities, and during shipbuilding operations. They offer several advantages, such as reduced construction time, lower costs, and the ability to launch ships in areas with limited infrastructure.

Specifications

Features

1. Material: Ship launching airbags are made of reinforced synthetic rubber layers with a durable outer layer that provides protection against abrasion and aging. The material used ensures high strength and excellent resistance to puncture.

2. Structure: Airbags are built with a cylindrical shape and consist of multiple layers of rubber, usually ranging from three to six layers, depending on the size and weight capacity required. These layers are bonded together to provide maximum strength and stability.

3. Valves: Each airbag is equipped with air inlet/outlet valves that allow for easy and efficient inflation and deflation. These valves are designed to prevent air leakage during the launching process.

4. Load capacity: Ship launching airbags come in various sizes and load capacities to accommodate different types and sizes of vessels. The load capacity typically ranges from a few hundred tons to several thousand tons.

5. Flexibility: Airbags are highly flexible and can adapt to the shape of the ship's hull during the launching or landing process. This flexibility allows for even weight distribution and reduces stress on the hull.

6. Safety: The use of airbags for ship launching is considered a safer and more cost-effective alternative to traditional methods, such as dry docks or slipways. Airbags provide a cushioning effect, absorbing and distributing the load evenly, thus minimizing the risk of damage to the vessel.

7. Reusability: Ship launching airbags are designed to be reusable. After each use, they can be deflated, rolled up, and stored for future applications, reducing overall costs and environmental impact.

8. Easy installation: Airbags can be easily installed and positioned using lifting slings or ropes. They can be quickly inflated with compressed air, allowing for a fast and efficient launching or landing process.
