FET opens deepwater test facility

Forum Energy Technologies (FET), a subsea technology provider, has unveiled a deepwater test facility and received industry accreditation for the calibration laboratory at its new European Operational Centre in Aberdeen.

The primary purpose of the test tank and laboratory is to provide full control, certification and faster turnaround in preparing Forum’s rental inventory for hire. In addition, the firm will also offer a full test and calibration service to customers.

The indoor test tank is dedicated to testing subsea tooling and survey sensors as well as work-class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). It measures 5m x 6m x 4.5m, is fitted with overhead 10T crane, lighting, cameras, and a viewing platform.

The calibration laboratory has been accredited by Valeport and conforms to traceable procedures for the recalibration of Valeport CTDs (conductivity, temperature and density) and Sound Velocity sensors and parameters fitted on current meters, tide gauges, wave recorders and loggers.
