Learn about Inflatable rubber fender (ball)

Inflatable rubber fender (ball) is a marine anti-collision product that uses compressed air. Mainly using compressed air as a buffering medium to absorb the impact energy of ships, making them more flexible and flexible when docked, in order to achieve the effect of collision prevention, anti-collision and avoidance. The Yokohama type docking ball belongs to a type of protective sleeve docking ball, usually wrapped around a sphere with airplane or engineering tires, and equipped with shoulder straps at both ends, which is widely used for transfer operations between ships and ship berthing operations. The dimensions are: D0.5m x L1.0m~D3.3m x L6.5m. Inflatable fenders (ball bearings) are strictly produced in accordance with the international quality standards ISO17357-2002 and GB/T 21482-2002, and their products are sold worldwide.

Advantage:

1. It absorbs a large amount of impact energy, has low impact resistance on the ship, and is easy to install;

2. Good elasticity, no deformation under pressure;

3. Lightweight, practical and economical;

4. The inclined compression performance will not decrease. Ball docking has been widely used in oil tankers, container ships, yachts, offshore platforms, large docks, military ports, large docks, etc. Compressed air is used as a buffering medium for inflating rubber to absorb the impact energy of ships, giving them greater flexibility and softness when docked, thereby achieving collision shock absorption. Therefore, it is widely used in ship to ship transfer and ship berthing. Gasket rubber gasket is a high-strength and wear-resistant fender developed and produced according to the ISO 17357 standard. Its prominent appearance is that the inflatable fender is wrapped in tire chain mesh, which extends the service life of the fender body.

With our close economic and trade exchanges, more and more goods are being transported around us. The general modes of transportation are usually highways, railways, and waterways. The first two modes of transportation are very common. But I don't know much about waterway transportation because waterway transportation is not often carried out on such a large tributary of the Yangtze River. On the large dock, there are many docks that dock on the ball, which provides a guarantee for transport ships.

Detection method relying on balls

Firstly, check the appearance of the ball. For appearance, the quality of the appearance can usually be checked with the eyes. So for the size deviation of the ship itself, it is inevitable. Not only will there be some deviations in actual manufacturing, but for these deviations, the industry itself and its own quality will also be recovered and repaired.

The quality of the docking ball is very important, as it is related to the safety performance of ships near the dock. Without reliable docking balls, there is a risk of collision with the dock and damage to the ships. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the quality of the docking ball and learn to test it in order to better utilize these protective equipment.
