IRM Leg Mating Unit (LMU) is specially designed for the smooth installation of the top deck on the jacket legs. They generally take lateral misalignment jerks and vertical loads and position the top deck easily on the Jacket.
IRM LMU can be provided in both Top decks and Jackets as required. These units are subjected to cyclic, load-deformation, and extreme load-bearing capacity tests in view of their critical function.
They generally take lateral misalignment jerks and vertical loads and position the top deck easily on the Jacket. The deck is lowered on these mating units, and they smoothly transfer these loads to the structure without jerks and impact loading. IRM Leg Mating Unit combines horizontal and vertical elastomers assembled in metal fabricated cans. These elastomeric units with structural support are resilient in actual load transfer conditions.
The elastomers of IRM Leg Mating Units can perform without creeping under high load as they are made from special-grade elastomeric compounds to achieve the desired test results.
IRM Leg Mating Units are available in different designs. More details can be provided on specific requests.
Custom-made Leg Mating Units are designed and manufactured per the client's requirements. IRM possesses an in-house facility to design, manufacture & test the LMU, including evaluation of design with FEA and further manufacturing and testing of the LMU under stringent quality checks.
