Mariscope Launches its new ROV Flunder
control system. The power of the motors can be increased on demand up to 900 W each.The ROV measures 100 x 120 x 40 cm and has a speed of 3-5 knots, with a maneuverability that allow its excellent performance in all kinds of conditions. Some manufacture highlights include:Strong and robust AISI 316L stainless steel structural chassis, hand welded (TIG) and crystal blasted, which gives it strength and ruggedness and provides a firm base for the attachment of additional accessories without compromising the structure of the ROV.The robust new-generation thrusters’ housings, together with their electronic
Teledyne Bowtech: Lamps for the Five Deeps Expedition
to achieve all of the above, significant and considerable analysis and testing was conducted to ensure suitability and reliability in the field.Developed from the standard LED-V-Series lamp, the LED-1153 is a high quality underwater floodlight constructed from hard anodized 6082-T6 aluminium and 316L stainless steel with an acrylic window. The LED-1153 is pressure compensated with silicon fluid and has a maximum operating depth of 11,000 meters. Due to its complex and bespoke design, it must be used in conjunction with a pressure compensation system
Trolex Expands Its Range of Slip Rings
Trolex Engineering, a designer and manufacturer of Electrical Slip Ring Units, has introduced the TX4849 Slip Ring. The Weather Protected Slip Ring is a compact 316L stainless steel unit which has a cover diameter of only 72mm. The unit can house up to 16 rings, rated 12 Amps, 1000V per ring. In addition to electrical passes, the unit can also be combined with a fiber optic rotary joint, both single and multimode options. Suitable for a variety of applications including ROVs, winches and seismic surveying, the unit has been design tested to meet IP66 ratings, Trolex said.
New Switchable Magnet Launched as Tool for ROVs
while retaining its simple on/off functionality. In this way it can be used to provide stability to a large work class ROV or for undertaking heavy lifting and should become an essential part of any ROV’s normal equipment package. Miko’s new ROV Magnet is contained within a SS 316L stainless steel housing that is combined with a high quality pressure compensator to ensure that it can resist corrosion at all depths. It is supplied in its own specially designed travel and storage case to ensure that it is completely isolated and compliant with air transport regulations. Miko can also
Differential Pressure Transducers Launched
product series in order to satisfy market demands for differential pressure measurement. The product is capable of measuring line pressures up to 5,000 PSI (350 bar), providing an output signal of analog voltage or 4-20mA. Bi-directional calibration is available. Sensor material options include 316L stainless steel, Inconel 718, and Hastelloy C276. Industries include well sites and compression equipment. The AST5400 product family will give engineers the opportunity for lower cost, high performance measurement for applications such as monitoring filters or dryers, ensuring flow, or calculating torque
Axis: New Security Cameras
nitrogen prevents internal condensation. Axis Communications launched three outdoor-ready, marine-grade stainless steel cameras that enable 360° coverage of wide areas in resolutions up to HDTV 1080p and great zoomed-in detail with up to 36x optical zoom. AXIS Q60-S cameras, with SAE 316L stainless steel and a nylon clear dome cover, can operate in -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F). They have IP66, IP6K9K, NEMA 4X and MIL-STD-810G 509.5 approvals, ensuring protection against dust, rain, high pressure/steam jet cleaning, snow, ice and salt fog. www.axis.com (As published
New Explosion-proof Pressure Transmitter from AST
American Sensor Technologies, Inc. (AST) released the AST46DS Explosion-Proof Pressure Transducer with Display with pressures from 1 to 20,000 PSI available. The AST46DS is a transducer with zero function capability, voltage or 4-20mA output signals, and all 316L stainless steel sensor materials. The voltage output signal is ideal for oil and gas well site applications, the manufacturer said. With many SCADA / RTU sites powered by solar panels in remote locations, a pressure transducer with low current consumption is ideal to extend life. The AST46DS can operate as low a 8VDC and has current
