Marine lifebuoy refers to a type of lifesaving equipment on the water, usually made of cork, styrofoam, or other lightweight materials with a small specific gravity, and is covered with canvas, plastic, etc.
The exterior color of the marine lifebuoy should be orange-red, and there should be no color difference, the surface should be no concave and convex, no cracking, and four equal spacing positions along the perimeter of the lifebuoy should be surrounded by a reverse reflective tape with a width of 50mm. The outer diameter of the marine lifebuoy should not be more than 800mm, the inner diameter should not be less than 400mm, and the periphery should be equipped with a floating handle cable with a diameter of not less than 9.5mm and a length not less than four times the outer diameter of the lifebuoy. This cord should be fastened to four equidistant positions around the perimeter of the ring body, and form four grommets of equal length. The weight of the boat lifebuoy should be greater than 2.5 kg. A lifebuoy equipped with a spontaneous smoke signal and a quick-throwing device attached to a self-lit floating lamp should weigh more than 4 kg.
The difference between a boat lifebuoy and a swimming ring:
In the market, there is a clear difference and use between marine lifebuoys and swimming rings. Marine lifebuoy refers to a type of lifesaving equipment on the water, usually made of cork, styrofoam, or other lightweight materials with a small specific gravity, and is covered with canvas, plastic, etc. A lifebuoy for swimming Xi can also be made of rubber and filled with air, also known as a rubber ring.
The swimming ring is not a lifebuoy and must not be used as a lifesaving device. The standard of the implementation of the swimming ring and the lifebuoy is not the same, the lifebuoy is to play a life-saving role, and it has many ancillary functions; Whereas, swimming rings are defined as water toys, and only toy standards are enforced. Therefore, compared with the real lifebuoy, the toy swimming ring is easy to break and leak, the compression resistance is very poor, it is easy to burst, the plastic surface is slippery when exposed to water, it is difficult to grasp, and it can only play a certain auxiliary or protective role in water leisure sports, and it is dangerous if it is brought to deep water.
