The following case studies illustrate the breadth of Flintstone’s product base and some of the projects we have been involved in.
The horizontal proof load test rig has been designed with a control and safety system to ensure that the extension under load over time (rate of strain) is carefully monitored and controlled…
Designed specifically for mooring connectors, the vertical test rig provides controlled testing of test pieces. The vertical rig suits shorter test pieces than the horizontal rig…
Over the years, Flintstone has built numerous test rigs, either to suit specific customer requirements, to demonstrate our products capabilities or just to satisfy our own curiosity…
Our Friction test rig is used for testing bearing components and mating materials.
The Hydrostatic Test Rig is used for testing subsea enclosures. It simulates water depths of up to 2000m.
Bearing materials for rotating joints within bearing systems need to be able to ensure a complex loading pattern spending most of their lives dealing with very small rotations at low loads and then, adverse weather conditions needing to cope with much greater rotations at significantly higher loads…
Bearing materials for rotating joints within bearing systems need to be able to endure a complex loading pattern spending most of their lives dealing with very small rotations at low loads and then, during adverse weather conditions needing to cope with much greater rotations at significantly higher loads…
Lever arms are used to move the chain from the point of rotation at the top connection. This is necessary where out-of-plane bending may occur.
In line tensioners have been used on several projects and offer a method of tensioning mooring systems without the need for on deck or hull mounted tensioners…
