  3. Marine riser tensioner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_riser_tensioner

    A hydraulic riser tensioner consists of a hydraulic cylinder with sheaves at both sides. The cylinder is connected to a number of high-pressure gas bottles via a medium separator. A wire rope is rigged in the cylinder; one end is connected to the fixed part of the tensioner, the other end is connected to the riser. [1]

  4. Riser (casting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riser_(casting)

    A bronze casting showing the sprue and risers. A riser, also known as a feeder, [1] is a reservoir built into a metal casting mold to prevent cavities due to shrinkage.Most metals are less dense as a liquid than as a solid so castings shrink upon cooling, which can leave a void at the last point to solidify.

  5. Drilling riser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_Riser

    Drilling riser joints with buoyancy modules. A drilling riser is a conduit that provides a temporary extension of a subsea oil well to a surface drilling facility. Drilling risers are categorised into two types: marine drilling risers used with subsea blowout preventer (BOP) and generally used by floating drilling vessels; and tie-back drilling risers used with a surface BOP and generally ...
