Applied Acoustics, a leading manufacturer of undersea positioning, tracking and sub-bottom profiling equipment, has a new 6000m rated pressure testing facility. Newly constructed in 2009, this facility is now available for hire at the Great Yarmouth factory.
The chamber has a maximum operating pressure of 690 bar and has an internal diameter of 340mm with a useable length of 1500mm. This allows for most transducer assemblies and towfish designs to be catered for. Assemblies of up to 500kg can be handled by the overhead hoist.

Hire rates are based on half, full-day or longer periods as required.
