Moonpool Swivels API 16A

The swivels are manufactured in high strength alloy steel, stainless steel, duplex steel or low carbon steel. Seal rings have high temperature and high pressure capacity, and very low friction. Together with hardened raceways this gives very low rotation resistance, at rated working pressure effectively enabling the main purpose of the swivels; to relive torsional loads in the hoses and fixed end connections.

Inconel CRA is used in seal ring grooves and may be used on all wetted surfaces, as per service requirements.

The swivels are NACE compliant, as required.

The swivels have type approvals from DNV and ABS.
