BOP Umbilicals
The bespoke design may incorporate almost any number of thermoplastic, aramid-reinforced, hydraulic hoses. They are made individually for every customer, but a typical design may include as many as one hundred 3/16” hoses around a central larger hose that is 1” in diameter. These may be complemented by power cables (often twisted pairs) and/or strength members. The umbilical is then protected by a polyurethane outer sheath, with or without an integrated strength braid.
The Blowout Preventer Umbilical is a safety critical component, meaning it has to be durable and perform 100% reliably every time. Fibron works to internationally recognised quality control standards, and products can be independently certified to the most rigorous test regimes if required.
