The new range is designed to speed up and simplify hydrotest monitoring, providing organizations in the sector with an efficient solution for successful monitoring of a hydrotest.

The HYDROskid is a new standalone hydrotest monitoring skid, making the monitoring process even simpler for pre-commissioning professionals. The system features the new AQUAdisp subsea display, alongside the popular HYDROlog2000PT pressure logger. The system is compact and easy to use, with a single connection point. Data can be downloaded via ROV using the AQUAmodemOp1 optical modem, and pressure readings monitored numerically or graphically. The system is switched on by the new AQUAswitch subsea switch, making sure it is only active when needed. The hydrotest data is recorded on Aquatec's field proven HYDROlog pressure and temperature logger, which includes a secondary power source for redundancy. A rechargeable battery means quick and easy turnaround between deployments.

Aquatec’s revolutionary subsea display, AQUAdisp, can show up to 16 parameters over four screens. Data can also be presented graphically on 16 graphs, which display up to 33 values. The low power technology means there is no need to turn it on or off. Three versions of the display are available, depending on whether it is to be used with Aquatec instrumentation or third party equipment.

The HYDROgauge digital pressure gauge features a high specification absolute pressure sensor with an exceptional precision of 0.01% of Full Scale. A variety of absolute pressure ranges are available, up to 1000 bar, allowing customers to take precise readings suited to their hydrotest or isolation measurement. The readings are displayed on the new Aquatec display, with clear graphics and low power technology.

Managing director at Aquatec Group, Andy Smerdon, said “Aquatec have been providing the pre-commissioning industry with instruments and systems to simplify and speed up hydrotest monitoring for over a decade. Our new products enhance our capability, and allow us to provide the best solutions for our customers. Aquatec is now in its 25th year, and new products like the AQUAdisp, HYDROgaugeand HYDROskiddemonstrate the company’s continuing drive for innovation.”
