Optime Subsea Services has signed a contract with an undisclosed US-based customer to supply a new hyperbaric testing system that simulates hydrostatic pressures found at water depths up to 14,000m.
The 20,000psi hyperbaric pressure vessel will be manufactured at Optime Subsea Services headquarters at Notodden, Norway. Notodden is located in the northern part of the Norwegian Subsea Valley industry cluster.
The hyperbaric testing chamber will have a diameter of 635mm and 2500mm height. It will be delivered and installed at the customer’s facility by 2017.
“Our ASME and CE stamped hyperbaric pressure chamber design offer a light and very efficient test system,” said Jan-Fredrik Carlsen, CEO, Optime Subsea Services. “Combined with a unique implosion resistance guarantee, we can offer qualification and testing of equipment for the marine, subsea oil and gas, defense, aviation and other manufacturing industries where testing simulating deepwater environment is required.”
The hyperbaric pressure vessel is a product developed by the former Telemark Technologies, which earlier this month merged with Optime Subsea Services. A key objective of the merger was to internationalize Telemark Technologies’ products through Optime Subsea Services’ international network.
