Specialist test equipment manufacturer Buckleys (URVAL) Ltd has launched a Marine Survey Kit to enhance its existing underwater corrosion analysis range.

The Marine Survey Kit enables rapid measurement of corrosion levels on marine structures.

Designed for use on marine structures including harbour jetties, oil rigs, ships and drilling platforms, the Marine Survey Kit is a close proximity tool that enables rapid measurement of corrosion levels and real-time analysis of results.

The standard Kit, specifically designed for use in seawater, comprises a Silver/Silver Chloride half cell, multimeter, plastic cable spool and a 75m lead. The hand held unit is used in proximity of surface structures, is weighted to help keep it in position and housed in a PVC body with holes to allow the easy flow of water past the cell. Lightweight and easy to use, the half cell weighs just 350g and has a temperature range of 0 to 30ºC.

A full customisation service also offered by Buckleys enables users to tailor the Marine Survey Kit components to their own individual requirements. As well as increasing the length of cables to correspond to the depth of testing (up to a maximum of 150m), the Kit can be supplied with or without the multimeter.

The company can also build specialised items such as reference electrodes and anodes to customers' drawings, on request. Accessories to accompany the Marine Survey Kit are available, as is technical advice and a fast repair service to maintain testing equipment.
