Distributed buoyancy clamping system
When buoyancy modules are attached to flowlines or umbilicals it is imperative that they don’t penetrate the outer layer which may be performing a protection or insulation role.
BOE’s patented clamping system provides a secure attachment method that resists both axial and, when required, torsional loads. The clamp also accommodates riser diameter change and flexure.
In summary, the clamp acts as a low stiffness, high strength, radial spring.
