EU 80KPa Floating Fender for Gas Carriers Best Selling Floating Dashpot

80KPa Floating Fender

80Kpa floating fender, also called Yokohama fender, has been used in port, harbor, and maritime operations for decades since it was developed in 1958. With the development of ship technology, 80Kpa floating fender is used extensively in ship-to-ship transfer operations and ship mooring and berthing operations. It's always regarded as a buffer to reduce shock in between due to its excellent performance of great elasticity and abrasion-resistance.

80Kpa floating fenders behave fundamentally differently from solid rubber type fenders. They use pressurized air to absorb the impact energy - based on pneumatic principles.

Fully compliant with the ISO17357 standard, Jerryborg's fender supplies a variety of specifications and dimensions to meet customer's requests and different application conditions. 

80KPa Floating Fender Structure

① Outer rubber layer

EU 80Kpa floating fenders are covered by the outer layer made of natural rubber. This rubber compound is strong enough to protect the inner layer and synthetic-cord layer from the damage of external forces and severe weather conditions due to its high elasticity and abrasion resistance.

② Synthetic-tire-cord layer

The Synthetic-tire-cord layer is made of synthetic-tire-cord fabrics, compared with synthetic canvas fabric and synthetic belt fabric, this reinforcement layer performs better in fatigue-resistance and pressure-holding.

③ Inner rubber layer

The inner layer is designed to seal the air inside the fender.

80KPa Floating Fender Advantage

1. Shape Conformant at Inclined Compression

EU 80Kpa floating fender is made of reinforced cord layers of high elasticity and flexibility, which enable us to make its shape conformant at inclined compression during ship-to-ship operations. Compared with solid fender and foam fender, the fender is easier to distribute the load along the ship's body or berthing structure.

2. Relatively Low Economic Cost

With the advantage of compressive elasticity of air, the surface pressure of EU 80Kpa floating fenders is completely uniform, which is equal to the internal air pressure and makes it popular with LNG-ship terminals.

3. No Variation or Deformation in Performance

EU 80Kpa floating fender is filled with the air of compressive elasticity inside, the deformation caused by fatigue is absent. In the experiment below of high-pressure pneumatic fender, the performance variation will not happen if the pressure is maintained properly.

Our fender remains the same without any variation or deformation even at temperatures under -50 degrees centigrade (-58 degrees Fahrenheit).
