DeepWater Buoyancy Accessory
Mooring Line Cable Fairing
Snap-on ABS fairings that reduce strumming and drag of taut mooring lines; drag coefficient 0.17 versus 1.20 for bare 3/8" jacketed wire.
Description
Mooring line fairings reduce vortex-induced strumming of taut mooring lines, which causes cable fatigue and can affect instruments, and reduce drag for less mooring layover. The drag coefficient for a 3/8" jacketed wire cable is 1.20 versus 0.17 for the fairing, an improvement of over 85%.
Key features
- Durable ABS plastic, snaps over the line during deployment
- Can be installed on select portions of the line
- No maintenance, does not tangle and resists biofouling
- Standard units 12" long for 1/4" and 3/8" jacketed wire rope
- End clamps available
