How GLEN ensure Fenders Quality?
GLEN’s fenders are manufactured from high quality nature rubber and other styrene butadiene SBR based compounds.
*GLEN shall test raw material for each batch of fenders including: Tensile strength, elongation at break, compression set ( 70℃,22h,25%), hardness ( shore A), tear resistance Die B, ozone aging ( 40℃, 48h,20%50pphm), and hot air aging.
*GLEN’s fenders shall be tested in accordance with the requirements of PIANC’s “Guidelines for the Design of Fender Systems: 2002” and ASTM F2192-05 “Standard Test Method for Determining and Reporting the Berthing Energy and Reaction of Marine Fenders”
*Performance verification testing is to be undertaken on the fenders units supplied. All fenders shall be fully pre-compressed at least once prior to installation.
*Fender chains’ safety factor is 2~3 times of working load.
*Fender mounting fixings, structural steel and chains are well painted. Mounting fixings and chains are painted by H.D.G with min. thickness 0.075μm, and the panel is painted by TSA or TSZ to increase anti-corrosion.
*Each fender has a tracking No. for manufacturing & testing records.
*All GLEN’s fenders have one year warranty calculated from the shipping date.
*3rd party inspection party LR is GLEN’s long-term cooperation partner. LR certification is to be supplied for each batch of fenders supplied.
