Hydrotest contract

摘要

Aquatec, UK, reports it has been awarded a NKrl.6 million (GB￡183,000) contract to supply hydrotest instrumentation and spares for the rental arm of Norwegian subsea company IKM. Following several years of successful deployments, IKM has upgraded to Aquatec's latest HYDROlog, AQUAmodem and subsea switch technology to equip its subsea hydrotest data logger spreads, said a spokesman. "When new pipelines and subsea infrastructure are installed they must be tested to ensure that they hold pressure for a period of time," explained the spokesman. "Aquatec's HYDROlog instruments are designed to monitor and record ambient temperature and test pressures up to 1000 bar or 15kpsi down to 4000 metres water depth. The temperature and pressure record can be downloaded when the data logger is recovered to the surface as proof of a successful hydrotest procedure.
