Hydrostatic test lab The Glenair marine/subsea technology team is unique in the industry having the ability to design, produce, validate, and test its complete range of subsea interconnect technologies using 100% in-house resources. Glenair’s hydrostatic lab is a dual-mode pressure test facility equipped with both large form- factor pressure vessels for testing complete cable assemblies, mated cable connectors, and even customer sub-assemblies. In addition, a small pressure vessel cell provides qualification and validation testing on discrete connector inserts and bulkhead connectors. Both the large pressure vessel and small pressure vessel systems can validate and test up to 16.5K psi, or 1 1 / 2 times Glenair’s standard 10,000 psi subsea connector rating.
DISCRETE CONNECTOR TESTING: All Glenair subsea interconnects are subjected to 100% inspection and test
