They are normally used in static applications but, unlike bend stiffeners, only provide protection once the pipe has achieved the desired bend radius between the flexible line and rigid structures such as wellhead connections, J-tube exits, rigid pipe crossovers and PLET connections.

Accredited by Bureau Veritas to API 17L standards and tailored to meet or exceed customer requirements across the oil & gas, renewable energy and defence industries, Balmoral bend restrictors provide cost effective solutions through optimised design methods, an ongoing development programme and the use of multiple rigid PU grades.

They are supplied as two-piece units that are bolted together.
