The client requested an Elastomeric material with high friction and high load bearing capacity for use in the transportation of large diameter monopoles for offshore wind turbines. FL491 - JT Support Clamp Bearing Pads Industry: Renewables - Offshore Windfarms Clamp/support bearing pads Case studyFluorocarbon developed a range of Support Clamp Bearing Pads utilising our FL491 material to be used in the pipe support cradles; typical monopiles have a diameter of 6.5 meters and a weight of 1000 tonnes. Measurement of coefficient of friction Fluorocarbon designed and built special testing rigs for measuring friction values between Fluorinoid® FL491 and coated or untreated steel plate over a wide range of loads, for measuring coefficient of friction to achieve results which could be pre
