A mechanical snubber is a mechanical device designed to protect components from excess shock or sway caused by seismic disturbances or other transient forces. [1] During normal operating conditions, the snubber allows for movement in tension and compression. [2] When an impulse event occurs, the snubber becomes activated and acts as a restraint ...
Snubbers allow for free thermal movement of a component during regular conditions, but restrain the component in irregular conditions. [6] A hydraulic snubber allows for pipe deflection under normal operating conditions. When subjected to an impulse load, the snubber becomes activated and acts as a restraint in order to restrict pipe movement. [7]
A mooring mast, or mooring tower, is a structure designed to allow for the docking of an airship outside of an airship hangar or similar structure. More specifically, a mooring mast is a mast or tower that contains a fitting on its top that allows for the bow of the airship to attach its mooring line to the structure. [ 1 ]

The materials includes latex , natural rubber , synthetic rubber and other polymeric materials, such as thermoplastic elastomers .
225k Snubbing Unit 340k units are designed to perform live and dead well interventions on both land & offshore.. Snubbing is a type of heavy well intervention performed on oil and gas wells.
Guards can be applied to mooring lines to prevent this In sailing , chafing is the process of wear on a line, sail or yard caused by constant rubbing and fretting . [ 1 ] Various methods are used to prevent chafing, such as employing chaffing gear or shifting halyards to move their wear-point. [ 2 ]
Single point mooring at Whiddy Island, Ireland Single-point mooring facility off Puthuvype, Kochi, India. A Single buoy mooring (SrM) (also known as single-point mooring or SPM) is a loading buoy anchored offshore, that serves as a mooring point and interconnect for tankers loading or offloading gas or liquid products. SPMs are the link between ...
A heaving line thrown from a ship to shore then used to pull the mooring warp from the ship to a bollard. [1] A light line installed inside a mast during manufacture, which is later used to reeve a halyard or pull an electrical cable into place. [2] A line used to lower a toolbag or equipment along a downline to a diver. [3]
