Client – Marine Test Instrumentation OEM An industry leader in planning, management, analysis and reporting for complex hydrodynamic model tests of floating offshore platforms, risers, flow lines and ships that are operated in deep water and other hostile environments. Marine Bellows OEM designed a pressure sensing bellows out of nickel to be used in deep ocean exploration. Due to the corrosive nature of salt water and the anti-corrosion devices which are installed, the bellows is at risk of hydrogen gas formation on its outer surface which then diffuses through the bellows to its interior resulting in gas overpressure and bellows rupture. In vetting out solutions to prevent hydrogen diffusion, gold was discovered to be the choice material. The Challenge Long Marine Bellows
