Rubber Compound Composition – The Most Important Factor Affecting Fender Performance By far the most important factor affecting fender performance is rubber type and rubber compound composition. However, the behavior of rubber under stress is unique, so it’s essential that precisely the right formulation is specified and critically, finds its way to the final product.. read more →
Fender Compression Test and Angular Fender Compression Test Testing is carried out in two stages: to prove behavior of the generic fender type, and then to confirm that performance of fenders made for each project meet the required performances. Based on PIANC 2002: Guidelines for the Design of Fender Systems: Appendix A, Fender Testing is.. read more →
Rubber Fenders as Protective Structures Used for Bridges In addition to bridge damage, vessel collisions may result in serious environmental damage such as the spilling of oil and other chemicals. The consequences of a vessel collision may therefore reach far beyond the direct costs of repairing/ replacing the vessel and possibly the bridge. The bridge.. read more →
Marine Fenders Provide a Vital Safety Component in Port and Dock Protection. The fender systems are vital in the berthing operations. Most of ports and docks are literally surrounded by water, so accident protection is of the utmost importance. A crucial element in preventing spills is dock protection via marine fender systems. The recent project.. read more →
JIER Cylindrical Fenders in Australia Cylindrical Type Fender is the fundamental rubber fender in the simple shape of hollow cylinder. The standard ratios between outside and inside diameters are 2 to 1 and 1.75 to 1. Compared with other type of fenders, it has the lower spring constant at the earlier stage of its deflection,.. read more →
Compound considerations in rubber fenders A variety of factors influence the specification of a fender system, such as local marine environment, exposure of harbour basins, class and configuration of vessels expected to berth against them, the speed and direction of vessel approach and the type of berthing structure. There are a myriad of different types.. read more →
Maintenance of Marine Fenders Marine fenders are used between marine vessels and docking structures to prevent damage during berthing. They are also used to protect ships during cargo transfers at sea. Marine fenders differ in terms of size, shape, buoyancy, energy absorption, and materials of construction. There are five basic types of marine fenders. Three,.. read more →
JIER JSC Super Cell Rubber Fenders 1. Construction JIER JSC Super Cell Rubber Fenders have a cylindrical construction, designed specifically to allow for uniform compression and for applications subject to circular axial motion. They are produced in a number of differing compounds – depending upon the characteristics needed to meet each requirement – but always.. read more →
The terms port, harbor and haven are more or less synonymous, but each of them also has specific meanings. A harbor is a place of security and comfort, a small bay or other sheltered part of an area of water, usually well protected against high waves and strong currents, and deep enough to provide anchorage.. read more →
