Innovative XR connectors guarantee safe separation of wellhead and pipeline in an emergency situation
A pipeline from the rig to the well head that is as flexible as possible is considered to be a quick-disconnect connection in an emergency. Nevertheless, this connection made at the oil source on the sea floor is an Achilles heel. If the connection snaps or if it cannot be separated quickly enough during hazards such as storms, unpredictable, often serious consequences can hardly be prevented. With the so-called XR connector, the safety at this critical point is significantly increased. In the innovative design 10 MAGNUM industrial shock absorbers from ACE per connection master this important task.
Industrial Shock Absorbers - MC33-HT to MC64-HT
Damping tasks perfectly solved at a depth of 31,496 in
Even when a mine is no longer producing anything, underground work often continues. In many places, as in this case at K+S KALI GmbH, the cavities have to be filled again in order to secure the status of the mine workings in the long term. MAGNUM industrial shock absorbers with pin thrust bearings and square flanges from ACE ensure smooth processes here. This was impossible with the previously chosen means, hydraulic self-made dampers and rubber buffers. Both solutions wore out too quickly. The MAGNUM type provided a remedy.
