PROJECT AND CONSTRUCTION OF A PAIR OF CLAMPS TO PERFORM TESTS ON SYNTHETIC FIBER ROPES
Luiz Fernando Lunkes, Elimar Joaquim Duarte, Fulvio Enrico Giacomo Chimisso
Abstract:
To guarantee the total reliability of an anchorage system of a petroleum platform, it is essential to test intensely the ropes used on this application, ensuring a perfect idea about their properties. However, testing synthetic fiber ropes is not an easy task. To do that, it is important that these tests could be applicable for most different architecture, size or material as possible, reproducing the real studied rope characteristics.
POLICAB (Stress Analysis Laboratory) has been studying this subject for a long time, trying to create a device that could perform reliable tests. Therefore, the present paper will talk about the last one developed in the laboratory, the Sandwich Clamps for 10 ton load tests performance.
