Flotation Technologies

Our InFlex™ bend restrictors are manufactured as interlocking modules designed to prevent the flexible pipe or umbilical from bending beyond its Minimum Bend Radius (MBR). Designed for static terminations, each module is allowed to move a small angular distance under an external load. If the bending moment attempts to push the flexible beyond its MBR, the modules will lock, forming a smooth curve or locking radius, transferring the load into the restrictor and preventing over bending.

Cast from high-performance polyurethane elastomers, InFlex™ bend restrictors are manufactured as half shells to allow for offshore installation. Shells are bolted together to form a complete assembly.
