Features of inflatable boat/rubber boat:
Compared with wooden, aluminum and glass steel boats, inflatable boats have obvious advantages. Small rigid boats, such as wooden ones, are good aquatic vehicles on the premise of reasonable design and reliable manufacturing quality. However, compared with inflatable boats, such boats have the following obvious disadvantages:
The terminal is unable to be disassembled, lacks the ability to move flexibly and flexibly on land and to be used quickly in urgently needed waters, and needs to be moored on the surface for a long time;
With the exception of fully enclosed lifeboat, it is easy to capsize and other dangers under wind and wave conditions.
If you are subjected to a more violent collision, you are liable to detach and have serious consequences;
A considerable amount of maintenance work is undertaken each year. By contrast, inflatable boats have the following advantages:
Both ends can be dismantled for preservation and flexible transfer, and can be used quickly in urgent situations.
With inflatable buoyancy tube at the boundary of the hull, the capsizing danger is greatly avoided.
Ending has good impact resistance and cushioning effect;
Simpler maintenance and less maintenance work.
In addition, because inflatable boats are very light, they are better in speed and fuel economy than wooden boats, whether compared with the same horsepower or speed.
Inflatable boat/rubber boatThe material of
There are many types of inflatable boats, which can be used in different fields. Their quality is affected by many factors, such as material and manufacturing technology. At present, the international famous brand mainly choose high strength (1100 d) synthetic rubber tape and natural rubber tape and other products are mostly use PVC tape (material and low price, a thermal low manufacturing cost, easy to sell). Due to different materials, the quality of inflatable boat is obviously different as shown in the following table.
In addition, the quality of the inflatable boat will be very different due to the difference in the quality of the inner base cloth. The highest international requirement is that the cloth should be 1100D, and the rubber cloth used in the high-end boats is mainly made from dupont's patented material, called Hypalon. China has not yet met such high standards of materials, and there is also a lack of corresponding standards for the production of boats, most boat manufacturers with cheap PVC adhesive materials.
Inflatable boat/rubber boatApplication status of
Visible from the above characteristics, inflatable boat a boat could not have a lot of other material advantages, especially, when some boats in a certain waves can't use, inflatable boats can be put into use, this is why sea border, customs duty and coast on to the scene rescue departments such as widely used inflatable boat at the rescue of objective reasons. In these USES, the duty boat can approach the target at high speed and contact the target by collision, providing valuable time for the duty crew; Into the field of inflatable boats are usually equipped with the special rescue boat, can flexibly, and in the other boat can not close quickly approaching target, become extremely critical in the rescue work is special equipment (yantai perils of the sea in our country, because of rescue boat for a long time can't close to the target, caused a huge tragedy, including the lack of rescue equipment is blood lessons).
Inflatable boat/rubber boatAs an effective aquatic vehicle, it has been recognized. The most obvious examples are:
International convention on safety of life at sea (SOLAS) in the regulation of ship must be equipped with the raft at the same time, put forward the corresponding requirements for coast rapid rescue, and effective tool for inflatable rescue boat, made the technical provisions;
Inflatable speedboats have been widely used in maritime operations in countries with coastlines. All countries have tried their best to release inflatable boats at the scene of rescue and flood relief.
