THE FLEXIBILITY REQUIRED DURING TIE-IN AND THE SUPPORT REQUIRED DURING OPERATION.
The SubseaDesign Anti-Vibration-Clamp prevents flow induced vibration to escalate above threshold where piping arrangement could see fatigue damages.
Pure mechanical design with no active hydraulic components
how it works
The locations and quantity of the Anti-Vibration Clamps are determined by the flow/piping analyses and the given layout of the module/structure. Required movement of the piping during any connection/disconnection will determine the overall dimensions.
Before tie-in, the Anti-Vibration-Clamp is free to move in all directions and angle at low friction. When the piping is connected, the Anti-Vibration-Clamp are closed and the piping system will have acceptable characteristics to prevent flow induced vibrations.
Assembling into manifold module
