Sunbelt Cable Hanging System Used On Offshore Oil Rigs to Keep Cables Secure, Clean & Safe
As the demand for oil and gas increases, so does the demand for products to keep offshore oil rigs functioning at maximum potential.
Houston based Sunbelt Stud Welding is keeping up with this demand by offering high quality stud welding products used to cable offshore rigs. Sunbelt's offshore and shipbuilding cable hanging system is cost effective, green and easier to install than most systems.
Stud welding has been used on offshore rigs for many years to streamline the process of installing electrical cables that are vital to rig operations.
An effective cable hanging system is essential in order to keep cables clean, safe and out of the way. Sunbelt Stud Welding offers its clients an affordable cable hanging system that allows oil rigs to be cabled quickly, safely and effectively.
Corrosion free fasteners are a necessity on offshore rigs because of exposure to extreme conditions such as saltwater, heat and wind. Sunbelt offers the 316 SS cable hangers and weld studs that are corrosion resistant.
The 316 SS cable hanger is designed to mount each cable individually with a ty-rap or banding strip. Each cable has its own slot, which prevents them from becoming entangled with one another. It also allows a cable to be identified easier and separated from others if it needs to be replaced or examined.
Offshore oil rig workers have found this benefit to be extremely helpful in day-to-day operations. It also offers a "green" benefit because cables can be replaced individually rather than replacing an entire system if one wire goes bad.
Sunbelt Stud Welding boasts some of the largest oil and gas companies as their clients. Oil rigs around the U.S. and the world including South America, Mexico, Russia, Europe, China, Singapore and Africa use their cable hanging system in upstream, downstream and offshore oil production. That's because it's fast, easy and accurate.
One man can install the Sunbelt 316 SS fastener in less than one second. As many as 200 to 330 studs can be fastened per hour using Sunbelt's automatic equipment. And even better, it's permanent.
When you use a Sunbelt stud welder to instantly secure a fastener to a metal object, you can rest assured that the fastener will hold in place permanently. That's because the energy used to produce the weld is always the same, making the welds consistently strong.
In addition to being fast, easy, cost effective and green, the Sunbelt Offshore Cable Hanging system is attractive. The weld only penetrates a few thousandths of an inch, creating no burns or dimples on the reverse side.
The fastener is surface-mounted to one side of the work piece thus eliminating ugly rivet heads, bolts, nuts, and washers.
