SCN600 Cone fender test according to PIANC2002 guideline

Whale fenders completed its SCN600 cone fenders factory test in compliance with PIANC2002 guidelines with the production coming to end.

It is totally 30 sets cone fenders assembled with front panel. The test includes four parts: Raw material test, Dimensional check, compression test, Quantity check.

1,Raw material test:

Vulcanized natural and synthetic rubber (SBR), natural rubber (NR) or mixtures of both will be used in the fabrication of rubber fender.

Additive such as carbon black and anti-ozone agent etc. are to be added to the rubber compound to enhance the rubber fender’s resistance to seawater, ageing, ozone and ultraviolet rays etc.

The rubber material will be homogeneous in quality and free from any impurities such as foreign materials, bubbles, injuries, cracks and other harmful defects.

1)The rubber compound used for fender production shall comply with the requirements of Table below.

A) Physical properties of rubber and test result

2,Dimensional check

3 sets fenders by ramdom as sample were done dimension check, The tolerance for the fender dimensions shall comply as follows:

Table-2: Tolerance of Fender’s Dimensions

Specification:SCN600H                                unit：（MM）

3,Compression test

Compression test is a vital step to prove the working performance. The fenders was put on pressure testing machine to simulate the real ship berthing, The performance of the Fender is expressed by the value of the energy absorbed during the compression of Fender up to the designed deflection and the maximum value of reaction load thus obtained.During the performance test, the fender will be subjected to a vertical force acting directly on the top surface of the fender.Compression stroke speed at 2-8cm per minute up to the designed deflection is to be repeatedly conducted for three consecutive testing. The load and the deflection in each test shall be recorded with the precision of 1.0 KN (0.1Ton) and 1mm respectively unless otherwise specified.Performance of fender is obtained from the average of the second and third test data.The average value shall be more than the designed performance value for the energy absorption and less than the designed performance value for the maximum reaction load taking into consideration of the plus minus ten percent tolerance.
