Marine Applications

Our load cells, load pins and other force sensors are used in many off-shore Marine applications and we have proven designs and materials when required for operation in a Marine environment including hydrostatic or submersible vehicles used deep under the ocean’s surface. Strainsert has developed a specialized Deep Sea Load Pin for high pressure environment of the oceans.

Strainsert combines our considerable design capabilities with our experience in harsh environments to address the measurement needs of the marine industry. We are a main supplier of submersible or underwater load cells, load pins and other force sensors for many companies and institutions around the world.

Our force sensors are used to measure:

Oil Exploration & Drilling
Line Tensioning
Anchoring loads
Towing Loads & Forces
Underwater Cable Monitoring
Hoist Loads
Platform Retention
Underwater Vehicles and Vehicle Recovery
Mooring Loads & Systems
Dry-dock hoist systems
Commercial Fishing
Buoy Force Measurement
Force Measurement

Our sensors can be designed as fully submersible and operate in a wide range of harsh, challenging environments.

Calibration & Traceability

Strainsert’s calibration facilities enable Strainsert to certify all our manufactured products at our manufacturing site up to a 500,000 pound capacity. All Strainsert force measurements are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and are performed by a highly-trained and experienced staff in a controlled environment.

Configurations

The design of Strainsert marine load cells allows them to be incorporated into many shapes or configurations. The outside geometry may be machined to square, rectangular, circular or many other sections or shapes required by the application.
