ABSTRACT:
A compression element having a deflectable elastomeric member is disclosed. The compression element exhibits a decreasing axial spring rate in response to axial movement and compression of the deflectable member. The compression element may be used alone or in combination with other compression elements in riser tensioner systems to maintain a substantially constant upward tensioning force on a riser as it moves axially relative to a floating platform.
