Streamlined Buoys
BENEFITS of SUBS FLOTATION
- Unmatched mooring stability provides the best in instrument platforms.
- Virtually eliminates vortex shedding effects inherent in spherical floatation.
- Eliminates the potential for the measurement errors due to mooring oscillation.
- Substantially reduces mooring excursions and inclinations.
- Significant improvement to depth keeping characteristics.
- Self-compensating for mooring inclination and flow direction.
- Reduced buoyancy requirement due to lower mooring frontal area.
- Supplied complete with mooring tension/swivel hardware.
- Economical as purchasers can use their own Viny or Glass floats.
- Supplied complete with buoyancy or purchasers can utilize their own Floats.
