Subsea Vibration Monitoring – New Applications

ClampOn has supplied numerous subsea vibration monitoring systems to measure Flow Induced Vibration (FIV) and Flow Induced Pulsation (FLIP).

These systems are primarily used for integrity monitoring, identifying the fatigue rate on subsea pipework. Some of our systems are deployed on a permanent basis and some temporarily for inspection purposes.

From FIV to rotating machinery
This year ClampOn is supplying permanent monitoring systems to monitor the integrity of subsea deep-water multiphase pumps. The sensors are of the same type used for FIV and FLIP monitoring, but measure at a much higher frequency and with a higher sample rate.

ClampOn's monitoring system Integrates directly into the subsea production system ensuring real-time data from day one of production, and throughout the life of the field. This ensures the operator is warned instantly if vibration levels increase, indicating a potential future pump failure. In turn, this gives the operator time to take preventive action to avoid a production stop before any catastrophic failure occurs.
