Summary
Ship Launching Airbags, also known as roller bags or ship launching balloon, are made of heavy-duty synthetic-tire-cord layers with inner and out rubber layers in long cylindrical balloon shape. Ship launching airbags can be used for the ship launching or ship landing of tanker, tugboat or barges, carrying vessel, carrier, ferry and other special vessels (AHTS, DSV) and so on. The biggest vessel launched by ship launching airbags up to 100,000 DWT.
Advantage Ship launching relying on ship launching airbags is a innovative ship launching technology, comparing with "end-on launching", "side ship launching", "float-out". This ship launching technology overcomes the restrictions of fixed launching track of side-launch. Ship launching airbags are accepted by more more shipyard world wide because of its advantages of saving time, saving investment, flexible, safety. |
Application
Now the marine airbag for ship launching are widely used for hoisting and transporting heavy structure, refloatation, salvaging sunken ship or heavy immersed steelstructure, erecting floating bridge or pipeline in the marine field and shipyards.
tructure of the TEAMWORK marine airbags
Please check TEAMWORK inflatable rubber airbag structure as below. It is composed by airbag body and terminal iron part. The airbag body is composed by natural rubber and strength fiber material through vulcanization processing; The terminal iron part is made of cast iron, it is combined closely with the bag body; One end is for pulling when move the airbag, and the other end is for charging and discharging the air.
"TEAMWORK" Marine Rubber Airbags' structure is consists of the outer rubber layer synthetic cord reinforced rubber layers and inner rubber layer.
Its shape characteristics: central body cylindrical + tapered on both ends. Cord layers:4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1ayers
Accessories: Pressure gage, Inlet valve, Pipe fitting and seal end ring..
Materials
An airbag is to be constructed of an outer rubber layer, one or more synthetic-tyre-cord layers, and an inner rubber layer. The arrangement of synthetic-tyre-cord reinforcement layers is shown in the picture below, all materials shall be vulcanized firmly.
Prior to the airbag production, the outer and inner rubber layers shall be tested to meet criteria in the following table in accordance with the test methods given in the international standard list in the table. While only one satisfactory sample per batch is required for test numbers 1 through 3, all others must be tested for test numbers 4 through 9 annually. If the first sample fails, two additional sample should be tested. If the additional samples pass the test requirements, the materials will be deemed to have passed the test. Otherwise, the materials will be deemed to have failed the test and another batch of materials shall be selected.
