All our products undergo strict testing by renowned authorities such as BV, SGS, and DNV, with certificates of conformity issued to guarantee quality and reliability.

Mechanical property inspection of rubber fenders is an important part of ensuring their quality and performance. Through a strict testing process and careful data analysis, the qualification of rubber fenders can be comprehensively evaluated, thus providing a reliable basis for actual delivery.

Compression Test:

First, compress the rubber fender to 10%, 20%, and 30% of its standard height at a set speed until the designed compression deformation is reached.

Then, at each compression level, record the corresponding pressure value.

After, a 30-minute interval, repeat the compression process twice in order to obtain stable data.

Finally, take the average of the last two sets of compression data and plot a reaction force–deformation curve.

Mooring bollards represent a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. They utilize high-strength materials, exquisite casting techniques, meticulous polishing, and internationally certified painting and corrosion protection. All of these ensure consistency in quality from the inside out. They also guarantee durability and long service life.

In addition, SME team leverages our expertise in engineering and materials science to customize the design, manufacture, and testing of specific bollards. This is done in accordance with BS 6349 Part 2: 1998 and PIANC 2002 standards. Thus, we ensure that each bollard exceeds our clients’ expectations.

Furthermore, every ship bollard is assigned a unique identification code. This allows us to trace it back to the very first stage of production and access its comprehensive records.

Each technical submission file includes detailed FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and calculations. These provide comprehensive support and transparency to our clients.

Finally, our laboratory conducts simulations to test the capability of mooring bollards under 1.5 times the normal load force at various angles. This enables us to comprehensively evaluate their load-bearing performance and safety.

DELIVERY

With a comprehensive range of molds and advanced production equipment, we possess superior rapid delivery capabilities, therefore ensuring that our products are delivered to customers on time, accurately, and with superior quality.
