1. Structure of pneumatic fender system

Outer Rubber Layer

Rubber layer which covers the outside of the fender to protect the cord layers and the inner liner rubber from abrasion and other external forces.
Tyre-cord Layers
Tyre-cord layers are made of synthetic-tyre-cord fabric which maintains the internal air pressure of the fender.
Inner Rubber Layer
The inner rubber layers are used to keep the air inside, avoid air leakage, it's the key to fenders' airtightness.
Flange

We can provide tyre net type pneumatic fender and sling type pneumatic fender

4. Test of pneumatic fender system

Material test for rubber
The material test of the outer rubber and the inner rubber shall be conducted in accordance with the physical properties of inner and outer rubber required by ISO 17357:2002

Dimensional inspection
The dimension of all the fenders shall be inspected at the initial internal pressure and the results shall be within the following tolerances:
- length: +10%, -5%;
-diameter: +10%,-5%

Air-leakage test
The air-leakage test shall be conducted on all the fenders at initial pressure for more than 30 min, and the test results shall confirm that there is no air leakage.

Hydrostatic-pressure test
The hydrostatic-pressure test shall be performed for 10 min at the hydrostatic-pressure shown in "test pressure at 0% deflection". Maximum temporary elongation: 10%
