In the demanding world of offshore and subsea operations, accuracy, durability, and reliability are essential. One key component that plays a vital role in these high-pressure environments is the subsea control valve pressure transmitter. At ESI Technology, our advanced pressure transmitters are designed specifically to meet the extreme demands of subsea control systems, delivering performance and longevity in the most challenging conditions.

What is a subsea control valve pressure transmitter?

A subsea control valve pressure transmitter is a highly specialised sensor used to monitor and control the pressure within subsea control valves. These transmitters are vital for ensuring the correct operation of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), subsea test equipment, and control systems deployed deep beneath the ocean surface. Withstanding immense pressures and corrosive saltwater environments, the transmitter is an integral part of safe and efficient subsea operations.

Built for the Depths: Pressure and Depth Capabilities

At ESI Technology, our transmitters are engineered to operate at extraordinary depths, with submersion capabilities up to 3,000 meters below sea level. For even more demanding applications, our transmitters undergo hyperbaric testing to an incredible depth of 3,300 meters, ensuring they continue to function accurately and reliably even in ultra-deepwater environments.

These devices are available in pressure ranges up to 1,000 bar, catering to a wide spectrum of subsea applications. Whether it’s controlling hydraulic functions or monitoring pipeline pressures, our transmitters offer the range and precision needed for optimal performance.

Silicon-on-Sapphire Technology for Unmatched Performance

One of the standout features of ESI Technology’s subsea control valve pressure transmitter is the use of Silicon-on-Sapphire sensor technology. This advanced technology offers exceptional performance characteristics, including high accuracy, outstanding stability, and excellent resistance to temperature variations.

Silicon-on-Sapphire sensors are renowned for their robustness and minimal signal drift over time, making them ideal for subsea environments where maintenance opportunities are limited. This means more uptime, less intervention, and greater reliability for critical subsea control systems.

Accuracy and Testing Excellence

In subsea environments, even a small margin of error can lead to significant operational issues. That’s why our transmitters are available with a high-accuracy option, ensuring precise pressure readings that operators can trust.

To guarantee performance under real-world conditions, each transmitter undergoes Environmental Stress Screening (ESS Testing). This rigorous process subjects the units to thermal cycling and vibration to identify potential early-life failures, providing extra confidence in the transmitter’s reliability before deployment.

Rugged and Ready: Built for Subsea and ROV Equipment

Our subsea control valve pressure transmitter is specifically designed for use with ROVs and deep-sea testing equipment. The rugged construction and corrosion-resistant materials ensure long-term durability in harsh underwater environments.

Additionally, our products come with a comprehensive documentation package and full certification to meet industry standards. Whether it’s for oil and gas exploration, underwater mining, or marine research, operators can be assured of compliance and traceability.

Certified for Hazardous Environments

For applications in hazardous or potentially explosive environments, ESI Technology offers an ATEX/IECEx certified option, including M1 approval for mining applications. This added layer of safety certification makes our transmitter suitable for a wider range of challenging deployments.
