PMI Industries Inspection, Survey & Testing

Independent Cable Testing

In-house laboratory testing that simulates at-sea conditions for underwater cables: tension, bend over sheave, hydrostatic pressure, torque and electrical/optical monitoring.

Description

PMI's testing facility simulates the service conditions that underwater cable systems and devices experience at sea, so problems can be found before deployment. Each test is tailored to the customer's cable system.

Tests offered

  • Tension: break strength, proof load certification, load vs. elongation, fatigue and dynamic load simulation
  • Cyclic, servo-controlled and long-span tension
  • Hydrostatic pressure
  • Cyclic bend over sheave, cyclic tension over sheave, cyclic flexure and reverse bend
  • Torque and rotation measurement
  • Electrical and optical performance monitoring

Applications

Qualification of towed, moored and umbilical cable assemblies for navy, offshore energy and research users.
