HPS Electrical Penetrators
|
Hydro Bond electrical penetrators are designed for deep sea applications and are used for passing electrical energy through the pressure boundaries of underwater vehicles and equipment.
Several of the designs are Lloyds and DNV type approved and have been specifically designed to withstand both gas and hydrostatic pressure.
Pressure blocking within the penetrator is achieved by using a hard and tough non-conductive insert through which solid conductors are passed. Each individual insert is pre-tested to 5,000 psi before being wired and assembled into the penetrator housing. Peripheral sealing of the insert is effected by means of viton rubber 'O' seals. |

A polyetherurethane rubber casing is chemically bonded to both the penetrators metal housing and to the connecting cable and this moulding prevents water entry to the cable cores.
