ME Leg/Element

Product catalog summary

Overview: Maritime International's ME Leg/Element fender is designed for compact mounting solutions where space is limited. These fenders are adaptable in length, making them suitable for situations where maximum standoff values restrict the use of cone or cell fenders. They can be mounted behind panels or piles and are available with a UHMW-PE shield as a cost-effective alternative to arch-type fenders.

Specifications:

Type: Element
Nominal Deflection: 57.5%
Buckling Deflection: 30%
Max Deflection: 60%
E to R Ratio: Medium
Durability: Medium

Design Considerations:

Leg fenders must be installed as symmetrical pairs or with three or more legs unless supported by a structural member.
Performance values are based on a single leg and require testing using the decreasing velocity method.
Common lengths include 900, 1000, 1500, and 2000 mm, with custom lengths available upon request.

Dimensions and Models: The document provides detailed dimensions for various models (ME 300 to ME 1600), including height, width, and bolt size, with weights ranging from 39 kg to 1005 kg.

Performance Characteristics:

Deflection and reaction percentages are provided, showing performance at various deflection levels up to 60%.
Performance curves illustrate the relationship between deflection, reaction, and energy absorption.

Performance Data: The document includes detailed performance metrics in both metric and imperial units, showing reaction and energy values for different grades and lengths.

Maritime International’s ME Leg/Element fender provides a compact solution for the mounting of fenders where space is limited. The unique nature of leg fenders allow the fender’s length to be altered when maximum fender system standoff values may limit the use of cone or cell fenders. ME leg fenders can be mounted behind panels or piles. They can also be supplied with a UHMWPE shield providing a low cost alternative to an arch type fender and with much less space required. Type: Element Nominal Deflection: 57.5% Buckling Deflection: 30% Max Deflection: 60% E to R ratio: Medium Durability: Medium Special Design Comments: • Unless supported by a piling system or some other structural member leg fenders are required to be installed as symmetrical pairs or with three or more legs supporting the panel. • Performance listed is for a single leg. • ME leg fenders are required to be tested using the decreasing velocity method to achieve published performance values. • Common lengths include 900, 1000, 1500, and 2000 mm. Alternate fender lengths can also be provided upon request. Deflection Characteristics: © 2013 Maritime International - All rights reserved. V2.1 Other sizes available.
