Specifications

Dredging Pipe Floaters:
1. UHMWPE pipes with floaters
2. Cost effective than self floating hose
3. Corrosive resistance

The features for Pipe Float:  

 

1. Good flexibility,excellent impact resistance,particularly suitable for constructions in open sea.

 2. Light weight,Molded-in bolt holes allow for easy installation,lower costs for moving.

 3. Higher corrosive resistance,longer working life,3 times longer than steel pipe floats.

 4. Lower costs,the cost performance is better than steel pipe floats.

 5. 2 pieces of pipe floats form 1 set, 2 sets of pipe floats form 1 pair. 1pair of pipe floats could float 6 meter long dredging pipe or floating pipe and 1.5m long rubber hose.

 6. The pipe floats under the size of O.D 4m * L4m are all available.

 

7. Clamp connection of pipe floats compresses the pipeline preventing slippage.

 

8. Solid one piece construction for pipe floats.

 

 9. Tapered ends on the outside of the Pipe Floats decrease water and wind resistance. 

 10. Tapered ends on the inside of the Pipe Floats allow the cable,hose,or pipeline to move freely.

 How to Select Dredging Pipeline Floaters?

 

The polyethylene floaters are usually used for the dredging projects, land reclamation projects in the world. They are the ideal floating material for pipelines.

 When choosing the floaters, we must know the following points: 

1. Buoyancy: usually the buoyancy need to be 30% higher than the pipelines weights(including 1.3 ration slurries). When the pipeline working, the floaters above the water surface should be about 1/4 of the height of steel pipes.
2. Weight: no less 3-5% than the ordered goods. The weight of the floaters is related to the hull weight and the foam’s density and volume. The foam density should be about 35kg/m³.
3. Plastify strength: the plasticized well floaters will have a flat and smooth surface without obvious particles, with best tensile strength.
4. Foam’s density: about 35kg/m³,with tensile strength of 0.2 Mpa. There is a little bit flexibility without stick and crisp. The floaters have such properties will be the best and most durable floaters.
