Seawater Corrosion-Resistant LVDT Ensures Accurate Control of "Christmas Tree" Chokes Used in Sub Sea Applications

March 31, 2009…In subsea applications, the term "christmas tree" refers to an assembly of valves, spools and fittings for an oil well, which, in formation, resemble a decorated tree. The function of a "christmas tree" is to prevent the oil or gas release from an oil well, while directing the flow of fluids... (more info)

High Pressure, Chemically Resistant LVDTs Enhance Performance of Extensometers That Monitor Structural Integrity of Offshore Platforms

January 19, 2009…To ensure the ongoing stability of offshore drilling platforms, the structural integrity of production risers, catenary risers, tendons, and platform legs and braces are constantly monitored. Macro Sensors... (more info)

Sub-Sea Level Measurement with
Pressure Sensors

Sub-sea level measurement can be accomplished with the use of a pressure sensor. Typically an ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) is lowered into the ocean with the pressure port either installed inside an enclosure or completely exposed to the sea water. As the ROV is submerged, the water pressure is exerted on the diaphragm of the pressure... (more info)
