ADJUSTMENT AND RESTRAINT SYSTEM FOR A SUBSEA FLEX JOINT

摘要

An adjustment and restraint system for a subsea flex joint may include a pusher saddle to be installed on a flex joint top plate and a hydraulic cylinder to be disposed in the pusher saddle. The hydraulic cylinder may be used to adjust a tilt angle of the adapter spool. A holder saddle may also be installed on the flex joint top plate. The hydraulic cylinders, the holder saddles, holder members, or a combination thereof may be used to restrain the adapter spool in the upright position.
