Flotation/Towing Boot
The flotation boot features a friction grip clamp with integrated bend stiffeners to control cable curvature. It provides a safe and convenient coupling to a sheathed or armoured towed cable at mid length.
The flotation boot is generally used where a seismic lead-in cable must be linked at intervals to a parallel tow wire, or where floats are attached at certain points along a heavy tow cable to protect against over-bending and chaffing.
Advantages:
- Fully split design allows installation after termination of the umbilical/flowline and repositioning
- Fully spoolable with the bridle/yoke removed
We supply for cable sizes ranging from 10 to 50m with a maximum axial load 0.5 to 2kN
