Delmar Systems has announced the availability of an R4 grade subsea connector for high MBL mooring systems.
The Delmar subsea connector (DSC) with R4 grade metals increases load capacity by up to 2400 kips from the former R3 version.
The R4 DSCs are scalable based on mooring load and range in size from 1510 kips to 6920 kips (6717kN to 30,782kN). This is compared to the old R3 range of 1000 kips to 4500 kips (4448kN to 20,017kN).
The DSC is paired with traditional mooring components such as chain, wire, or synthetic rope. And it can be used with multiple anchor types or subsea foundations including suction piles, vertically loaded anchors (VLA), OMNI-Max anchors, driven piles, drag embedment anchors, and plates in any water depth.
The R4 DSC has product design assessment (PDA) approval from ABS and type approval from DNV GL for both materials and all scalable sizes for use in temporary and permanent mooring systems.
The DSC is patented, classification society-approved, and ROV-actuated connector for both temporary (MODU) and permanent mooring systems.
