Reliability even under extreme conditions on the high seas

A pressure transmitter used in navigation must be particularly stable and resistant to the influences of the sea.

pressure transmitter reliability for shipbuilding

To make sure that the devices meet shipbuilding and marine requirements, they have been approved by DNV GL with stringent tests. Thanks to DNV GL (Det Norske Veritas Germanscher Lloyd) approval, the sensors can be used in marine applications during deep-sea shipping.

These shipbuilding-certified measuring instruments make it easier for shipbuilding engineering offices to register vessels and approve installations.

Pressure transducers with DNV GL certification feature stainless steel housings. Their robustness guarantees perfect operation in demanding marine applications. DNV GL certification of the pressure transmitter reduces the risks inherent in marine systems.

The Fuji Electric pressure transmitter is also certified for Atex, IECEx and Intrinsically Safe hazardous areas, for oil and gas tankers transporting hazardous materials.

materials for marine construction

The materials used in pressure transmitters are chosen by our experts to avoid any risk of corrosion by seawater or aggressive fluids.

The diaphragm seals and parts in contact with fluids are available in stainless steel, tantalum, titanium or monel to guarantee long service life.


What applications do pressure transmitters have in shipbuilding?

fresh and waste water tank level measurement diagram

1. Freshwater and wastewater tank level measurement

The pressure transmitter is also used to measure tank levels on ships. Drinking water is transported and stored in special tanks. Fresh water can also be obtained from seawater after a desalination process.

The design, construction and maintenance of storage systems for the collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater on ships require a more complex monitoring program than for freshwater tanks, as they are often contaminated by harmful substances such as oils or cleaning products. These systems use pressure transmitters to control tank volumes.

Thanks to their reliability and accuracy, pressure level probes enable continuous monitoring of tank levels and rapid detection of any anomalies. What's more, it's an economical and easy-to-install solution.

ballast water pressure detection

2. Detection of ballast water pressure and levels

A ship's ballast tanks are high-capacity water reservoirs that enable captains and crews to optimize navigation.

In particular, these tanks are equipped with a compensation device when the load is too light or insufficient in depth;
This allows freighters to have greater autonomy while consuming less fuel, by filling them until their draught is compensated, after which these same volumes can also help distribute the weight during loading operations if necessary!

This data is essential for controlling the vessel's stability and ensuring its safety at all times.

As Fuji Electric pressure sensors are specifically designed to monitor ballast filling and meet durability requirements, there is no need to worry about seawater corrosion affecting efficiency.

Fuji Electric's pressure transmitter is designed for low-maintenance operation.
Sensor durability and reliability are crucial to uninterrupted navigation.

pump control and monitoring

3. Pump control and monitoring

Pump failure can cause major damage and loss of productivity.
It is therefore essential to have a reliable system for monitoring pressure measurement and pump performance, so that problems can be detected as soon as they occur.
Fuji Electric pressure sensors guarantee long pump life. They are highly resistant to pump vibration.

4. Engine and fuel management

Monitoring engine parameters is essential to ensure proper operation and long life.
pressure transmitters monitor lubrication and cooling systems.
Vessels need fuel to operate, and it is important to measure fuel pressure at various points on the vessel to ensure efficient fuel distribution.
Fuji Electric's pressure transmitter accurately measures fuel pressure, enabling fuel managers to obtain information and make informed decisions about fuel distribution.

compressed air leak detection

5. Compressed air leak detection

Ships need compressed air to operate.
This means they need a system to detect compressed air leaks and repair them quickly.
Such leaks can damage vessels and cause significant pressure loss.
Fuji Electric's pressure transmitter measures the pressure and level of compressed air on board ships.

6. Measurement of hydraulic fluid pressure on cranes, hoses and transmission

Cranes and hoses are essential equipment on ships.
These components must operate with extreme precision and reliability to ensure the safety of passengers and the ship itself.
To achieve this, it is essential to measure hydraulic fluid pressure at all times to ensure the smooth operation of this equipment.
Fuji Electric offers high-precision measurement transmitters that enable this measurement to be carried out reliably.
These pressure probes are designed for use in the harshest environments, and offer great robustness and long service life.

7. Air compressor pressure monitoring

Pressure measurement is essential for the smooth operation of air compressors on ships.
These instruments must operate with a stable and sufficient pressure to ensure the smooth running of the compression process.
To achieve this, Fuji Electric pressure transmitters continuously measure the process pressure to ensure optimum pressure control and cope with load variations.
Thanks to this technology, crews can count on constant compressor performance whatever the process load.

8. Monitoring liquid cargo levels

pressure transmitters are used in shipbuilding to monitor the levels of liquid cargoes of various products in tanks.
These measuring instruments provide real-time data on the level of process liquids such as hazardous and flammable materials or products like oil.
Level detection on cargo systems helps avoid major risks to the environment and crew, such as liquid overflow or substance leaks.
