Fit the components before testing.
A tensioner supports submerged pipe weight while the guide maintains its bend radius. Payout must cover the vertical run and guide arc. This is an installation schematic, not drilling.
Vertical lay reference. Quasistatic hanging pipe, buoyancy already included in submerged weight 200 N/m. Quarter-circle guide, no current, vessel motion or actual pipe qualification. Display supports hold the cutaway vessel; sea level is drawn as an outline, and the moonpool is open for the riser.
Pay out enough pipe while respecting 5 m bend radius and tension capacity.
Pay out pipe within bend-radius and tension limits.
