Transducer survives North Sea depths
When recovered and sent back to RDP the DCW transducers were discovered to be fully functional and near perfect.
RDP Electronics' DCW submersible transducer survived a trip 300m under the North Sea to capture test data The DCW is an LVDT transducer designed for measuring displacements between +/-2.5 and +/-470mm and is suitable for use in a wide range of wet and submersible conditions such as experienced in the pulp and paper industry, for valve and sluice applications and structural monitoring
However, it is not usually offered for long-term exposure to seawater at depth, where the SSA or SSD seawater submersible devices would normally be specified.
In this case, as the test duration was only two weeks, RDP engineers advised that the DCW would suffice but could be expected to degrade during the planned total 12 months submersion period.
When recovered and sent back to RDP the DCW transducers were discovered to be fully functional and near perfect. Request a free brochure from RDP Electronics ...
