What testing do you perform on underwater connectors?

Hurtigt svar

HYSF performs comprehensive testing on all underwater connectors including:

  • Pressure testing: 1.5x rated depth for 24 hours
  • Electrical testing: Continuity, insulation resistance, hipot
  • Environmental testing: Salt spray, temperature cycling, UV exposure
  • Mechanical testing: Mating cycles, vibration, pull test
  • Leak detection: Helium mass spectrometry for critical applications

Every connector ships with test certificates documenting all results.
