A bend restrictor controls the bending of the flexible pipeline, umbilical or cable to prevent damage from occurring. The Bend Restrictor has been designed to protect flexible pipelines, umbilicals and cables from over bending and buckling during their installation or operation. A vertebrae bend restrictor (VBR) is designed to protect a subsea control line umbilical from bending stresses that can occur during normal offshore installation and operation. It offsets the action of applied loads which could kink or buckle the internal conduits of an umbilical, cable, flexible riser pipe or MUX line.

Bend restrictors prevent over-bending at the interface between flexible flowlines/umbilicals/cables and rigid structures by mechanically locking up. A bend restrictor controls the bending of the flexible pipeline, umbilical or cable to prevent damage from occurring. Protection from overbending The Bend Restrictor has been designed to protect flexible pipelines, umbilicals and cables from overbending and buckling during their installation or operation. Bend restrictors are designed to mechanically restrict a line from bending beyond its allowable MBR. Typical applications include support of a flexible pipe/cable over free spans, protection of lines around other rigid structures such as PLETs, wellheads, cable joints and J/I-tube exits. Bend Restrictors Protect cables, umbilicals & flexibles from overbending and save a lot of installation time. Interested?

Njord BR (Bend Restrictor)
The subsea environment provides a highly challenging combination of conditions that demand high integrity solutions to protect infrastructure, we offer the widest range of subsea cable protection to safeguard subsea pipelines, umbilicals and cables. From dynamic fatigue bend protection of safety critical flexible risers; damping of vortex. ABCO Subsea's hybrid vertebrae bend restrictors are made from both steel and polyurethane segments and provide the benefits of both materials in deep water, high load applications. Hybrid VBRs use steel segments near the VBR assembly's structural support interface, where most loading occurs. Bend Restrictors.

A bend restrictor assembly is a device that can be mounted around the cable and attached to the structure so that bending of the cable or pipeline will be prevented beyond the designed locking radius of the bend restrictor, thus preventing any over-bending. The steel vertebrae bend restrictor (SVBR) is designed to prevent damage to the umbilical control line that it supports at higher loads than its polyurethane counterpart. SVBR assemblies, like their polyurethane counterparts, protect the control line to a customer specified minimum bending radius (MBR).
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. Tekmar Vertebrae Bend Restrictors (VBR) are lightweight dynamic components designed to limit the bend radius of subsea cables, umbilicals and flowlines by mechanical means during both installation and service life. The standard design consists of two half shells secured together using bolted fasteners. Tekmar also offer an innovative quick install solution called TekLok. This is […]

The patented Supergrip (UK) Ltd Fast-Lok Boltless Bend Restrictor offers the subsea cable protection industry three major advantages compared to the traditional 6-bolt systems: 1. A 20 to 30% reduction in equipment cost dependent upon the size of the product. 2. An 80% reduction on installation time 3. What are Subsea Bend Stiffeners? Non-metallic subsea bend stiffeners are used by the offshore energy industry, both wind, and petroleum, to prevent over-bending of umbilicals and cables at the point of termination. This protection is engineered into each design by creating a gradual increase in stiffness from the tip of the stiffener to the.
