HENDERSON HOOPS: A NEW SYSTEM FOR MARINE GROWTH INHIBITION ON OFFSHORE TUBULARS.

Polypropylene hoops encircling the tubulars of offshore structures are used to inhibit marine growth through their rotation which is induced by the action of current on flaps with a hinged connection to the hoop. Axial motion occurs naturally for inclined and horizontal tubulars in tidal flow and re...
