Rubber seal products are widely used in the shipbuilding industry, ensuring the integrity, safety, and operational efficiency of ship structures. Here are some specific application examples:
1.Hull joint sealing: Rubber seals are widely used in various structures and equipment of ships, such as joint sealing of engine rooms, hull metal plates, and fiberglass plates. These seals can tightly adhere to the seams, preventing seawater from seeping in, ensuring the waterproof performance of the hull and stable cabin pressure
2. Door and window sealing: In the construction process of ships, the sealing of doors and windows is a key link, which directly affects the waterproof performance of the ship and the stability of cabin pressure. Rubber seals can tightly fit around doors and windows, forming an effective sealing layer to prevent seawater from seeping in.
3. Shock absorption and noise reduction:
Rubber materials are used as shock absorption materials in multiple parts of ships, such as the hull, transmission system, bearings, etc. Rubber has good oil resistance and wear resistance, which can effectively reduce the vibration of ships in waves, improve the comfort of personnel and the safety of equipment on board. In addition, rubber shock absorbers can isolate and absorb vibrations, reduce noise, protect structures, and improve navigation efficiency.
4. Sealing of sonar detectors and underwater equipment: The hull window panels of sonar detectors installed on ships are made of rubber that is impermeable and sound permeable. Rubber materials are also present in transducers, sonar deflectors, and other components of underwater sonar instruments in the ocean. Rubber materials play a role in waterproofing, sound insulation, and sound transmission in these applications, ensuring the normal operation and performance of sonar detectors and underwater equipment.
5. Rubber Fender: Rubber fenders (also known as rubber fenders) are installed on docks or ships to absorb collision energy between ships and docks or between ships during berthing or mooring, protecting ships and docks from damage. Rubber fenders have high energy absorption and reaction force, as well as advantages such as low cost, long service life, and simple installation and maintenance.
6. Pipeline system connection: Rubber hoses are used in shipbuilding to connect fuel, lubricating oil, fresh water, fire water and other pipelines of ships. Rubber hoses have good oil resistance, water resistance, and aging resistance, and can withstand high-pressure environments inside ships, ensuring the normal operation of pipeline systems.
7. Other applications : Rubber is also used as a sealing material at the joints of various components in ships, playing a sealing role. Rubber materials are also used as floating wave breakers, submersible wave breakers, or as dams in small water bodies due to their flexibility and impermeability.
In short, rubber seal products have various applications in the shipbuilding industry, ensuring the safe operation, comfort, and service life of ships. With the advancement of technology and the development of shipbuilding industry, the application of rubber products in shipbuilding is constantly expanding and deepening.
