Sample GSB3500030 Test length 45cm, HBIZT model, CEINS Rubber Diameter 36mm, Mooring link with
diameter 3 inch  chain or wire cable   
    Take a sample as below:

               1.  Superb Elasticity:

               The GSB3500030 rubber rope provides up to 22% elongation range adjustable high loading capacity, from
              85 tons ~ 537.25 tons elastic capability, this extension stiffness character delay the shock force become
              slow and gradually to Pontoon and thus reduce that period shock force strength and avoid the shock force
              to pontoon & wire cable damage. According to F=1/2 M(D/T)2 principle , the smaller of V (velocity), the lower
              of F(Force).

              The superb elasticity of SUPFLEX rubber rope extend the time of same distance movement of pontoon, when
              it is hit by the wave force of windstorm, The slow down the speed of movement, according to F=1/2 MV2 Principle,
              it will smaller the force applied to pontoon at the same time.

             2.   Precisely Adjustable to desire tension force range:

             The system provides a range of tension force to control the stability of the pontoon, it rubber rope can be                                     
              manufactured precisely based on the design pretension force range (minimum pre-tension to maximum working                    
              load) according to each project loading requirement.

             In normal condition, the system is work between the pre-tension to maximum work tension load. While the wave                      
              force from windstorm is hitting the pontoon, it will automatically dynamically adjust its tension strength on the                            
              SUPFLEX for the wave shock force during windstorm, also automatically extend up to its maximum tension                                
              strength to taut revival cable meet engineer design stiffness anchoring pontoon firmly.
           3.  Precisely Auto Revival to Pre-tension length and working loading strength range:

            For example, the SUPFLEX GSB3500030 maximum Adjustable Auto Revival 623 tons( HBIZT 31% elongation) load             
            tension strength. If Civil engineer original design the normal pre-tension operation strength is 170 tons(HBIZT 16%             
            elongation) holding the pontoon mooring system, SUPFLEX System will automatically revival to the original                            
            pre-tension load strength 170 tons and length (16% elongation position), after the hit by every wave caused by                       
            windstorm.

           Due to mooring cable are still maintains its original length and pretension force, so it will not cause any over                          
            allowed horizontal movement. it can automatically revival to their original length and pre-tension.

           For example, the SUPFLEX GSB3500030 Mooring System (as shown above) allows precisely control on the                           
           pre-tension initial loading from 170 tons/set to maximum working tension load 623 tons/set, and minimum break
           load up to 1,390 tons/set to the moored Barge, so that it is the best solution to save guard for the Hood Canal or                    
           SR520 Floating Bridge. This solution is so durable for 113,400 cycle( GBCZT model 70%E. & HBIZT model 40%                    
           155.34 Tidal Cycle Years) use. It will significantly reduce the cable damage or windstorm pontoon move high                          
           maintenance cost.
         4.  SUPFLEX Shock Force Absorb Device:

          A patented Pontoon SUPFLEX Shock force Absorb device can be installed in the pontoon side, to
         prevent the shock force of the wave damage pontoon link point construction during windstorm.
  
      5.  Environmentally Safe:
       SUPFLEX does not pollutants into the marine ecosystem. There is no storm damage to the environment.                
       It is especially suitable for locations with frequent windstorms or hurricanes area.

       6.  Almost free maintenance
       The auto revival characteristic of the SUPFLEX Mooring System, the mooring wire cable automatically                       
       revival to the original position. Pre-tension load strength and length, so there is no any manual adjustment              
       required during the windstorm.

       7.  High Standard of Quality:
       SUPFLEX Products meet ISO9001 standards and have passed tests at ABS, CCS, CNAS, National Taiwan             
       University of Science Technology Civil Engineering Mechanics, & China Beijing Tsinghua University Civil                  
       Engineer Department, & United States of America, Texas A&M University Marine Engineer laboratory.
