Fasteners for the Offshore Industry

Fasteners play a vital role in the offshore industry, responsible for the safety and operation of many different areas out at sea. From ensuring that boats and shipyards remain operational out at sea, to maintaining pipes below sea level for the safe transport of materials. Fasteners for the offshore industry tend to be high tensile as there are high levels of tension, stress and vibration. Fasteners also tend to be stainless steel to combat corrosion, to extend the lifespan of fasteners used at sea.

One common application of fasteners in the offshore industry is for maintenance of boats and shipyards. This maintenance requires high tensile grade fasteners to ensure that different elements can be held together securely. To limit the risk of corrosion, stainless steel is commonly used.

Another common application of fasteners in the offshore industry is for maintenance of pipes below sea level. This again requires materials that are resistant to corrosion caused by salt water. In addition to finding many stainless steel fasteners there are also increased uses of nylon fasteners to be as resistant to corrosion as possible.
