Marine

Marine engineering is an activity that incorporates mechanical, electrical, control, and safety engineering so as to aid the design and operation of marine vessels like sailboats, tankers, and submarines. Since the operating conditions are very demanding, all the components should be very strict in terms of performance and safety to enhance reliability in the sea.

Whether it is the provision of separate components, sub-assembling, or replacement parts, consistency of quality is necessary. Adherence to global standards, company specifications, and customer demands has a direct influence on the safety of operations and brand reputation.

Presto Stantest testing solutions are widely used across the marine sector for a variety of quality-control applications, including the following:

• Pull-off strength of terminals for welded and crimped marine cable joints
• Insertion/withdrawal forces of electrical connectors
• Tensile strength of riveted metal joints
• Tensile strength of underwater lift bags
• Tensile strength of fishing nets
• Actuation force of switches on emergency beacons, tracking, and monitoring devices
• Torque to actuate rotary controls
• Compression and tensile properties of springs
• Load characteristics of small motors
• Shear and tensile strength of fasteners
• Peel strength of composite materials used in the vessel

These systems are accurate, repeatable, and flexible to various component levels, subassemblies, and system levels, which are used in routine quality control as well as in design verification.

The testing process can be carried out using internationally accepted norms such as ASTM, BS EN, ISO, DIN, CEN, and MIL so that there will be consistency between the local and international markets. Having decades of experience in the marine and transport engineering industries in general, Presto Stantest provides reliable mechanical testing equipment that can be used to support high-stakes applications with high accuracy and reliability.

The combination of marine engineers and manufacturers with Presto Stantech solutions makes it easy to test the strength of the material used, component dependability, and safety of operations of the vessels when they are moved across the world, which increases the compliance and performance of the vessels.
