Subsea tensiometer

At the request of one of its customers, SENSY has developed a tensiometer designed for underwater operation. It is part of a force acquisition system applied to mooring cables. This system can measure forces up to 450 kN, it can be submerged to a depth of 50 m and can be easily installed on a mooring cable by a diver. There is no need for disassembly or functional interruption.

This system measures the tensile force of cables used for a variety of mooring applications:

  • Offshore platforms
  • Ships and towing cables
  • Fish farming
  • Umbilical loading
  • Oceanography or navigation
  • Renewable marine energy platforms

With this set of applications and the ability to be deployed on virtually any type of mooring cable, these systems have many benefits:

  • Do not require any disconnection from the mooring cable
  • Can be calibrated for different line sizes
  • Configurable data acquisition
  • Can be custom built for any application
  • Easy installation by divers
  • Easy data recovery
