Pi rubber fenders are designed to suit for the advancement of ship design. Because of the economic development and globalization, ships are designed to be larger in size with the same weight. So low hull pressure has become the priority for these ships when dock owners are selecting the proper rubber fenders. Pi rubber fenders are designed to provide lower hull pressure compared with other rubber fenders of the same sizes.
Pi rubber fender unit is manufactured as the “I” letter in profile. Usually two fender units and a frontal panel can consist of an effective rubber fender system which looks like a “π”. They are normally installed onto the dock structures either vertically or horizontally. Some docks fender designers will even select a long frontal panel to be mounted with several Pi rubber fender units to increase the performance of this fender system.
Pi rubber fenders are especially suitable for large wharves, but some small standard sizes of those are also designed. π600 and π800 are the smallest standard sizes of Pi rubber fenders. They are applicable for some kinds of small docks with good performance.
Except for low hull pressure, the Pi rubber fenders also possess other physical properties such as low reaction force and high energy absorption. The simple design also makes it robust and resistant. Due to all those merits, Pi rubber fenders have become the most appropriate fender solutions in many areas.
