<p>A contact damage protector for a marine riser having first and second sleeve elements connected together to form a sleeve. The sleeve elements having a male section at one end and a female section comprising a socket with a neck at the other end, and an axial bore extending between the ends, the bore receiving a marine riser. The male section on the first sleeve element is adapted to be received within the socket of the female section on the other sleeve element. The inner diameter of the neck of the female section at its narrowest point is smaller than the outer diameter of the male section at its widest point. The male section is retained by the neck and the sleeve elements are thereby connected together against axial separation. There is also described a method of protecting a marine riser against damage.</p> |
