MR-6H SE Marine Riser Connection
Vetco Gray’s new marine riser system, the MR-6H SE, brings drastic improvements to the current industry offerings in both safety and efficiency. The innovative design of the MR-6H SE combines field-proven technology of the H-4 subsea wellhead connector and the dog-style marine riser (MR-). To make the fully-automated connection of the MR-6H SE, hydraulic units on the spider engage a cam ring on the box which actuates six dogs into the profile in the pin. This creates a full pre-loaded connection with an efficient and effective load path.
The MR-6H SE connection is fully automated. This takes people out of a potentially hazardous situation. The pin is lowered into the box and guided into place with an internal guide pin. Then the spider does the rest, automatically making up the connection.
In today’s environment, saving time means saving money. It takes less than a minute to make/break the MR-6H SE connection. A string of MR-6H SE can be run in about half the time of a flanged riser system!
