Instrumentation and Calibration

OCS maintains a wide-ranging suite of field instrumentation that is regularly calibrated and maintained to ensure precise and reliable performance. These instruments play a critical role in hydrotesting, commissioning, leak detection, environmental monitoring and verification of process parameters. Each device in the spread serves a specific function, enabling accurate measurement and control in high-stakes operational environments.

  • Digital and Analog Pressure Gauges: Used for real-time monitoring of system pressure. Digital gauges offer high precision with backlit displays, while analog gauges provide durable, mechanical reliability in harsh environments.

  • Pressure Chart Recorders: Mechanically or electronically record pressure data over time onto circular or strip charts. Ideal for hydrotesting and long-duration monitoring where permanent pressure records are required for reporting or certification.

  • Digital and Analog Temperature Recorders: Measure and document temperature variations over time. These are essential during pipeline commissioning, leak tests, or chemical processing where temperature integrity must be verified.

  • Data Loggers: Compact, standalone units that continuously log pressure, temperature, or flow data for later retrieval. Suitable for remote or long-term operations where live monitoring isn’t feasible.

  • Dead Weight Testers: Precision instruments used for calibrating pressure gauges and transmitters. Operate by applying known weights to a piston-cylinder system to generate an accurate reference pressure.

  • Air & Liquid Flowmeters: Measure the volumetric or mass flow rate of air or liquid within a system. Crucial for verifying injection rates, flushing operations, and ensuring fluid systems meet performance specs.

  • Dew Point Meters: Measure the moisture content in compressed gases to ensure dryness. Used in air and nitrogen systems to prevent condensation and corrosion.

  • Portable Manometers: Lightweight, handheld devices that measure differential or absolute pressure. Ideal for troubleshooting pressure systems, filter checks, or validating pressure drop across components.

  • Pinger Receiver Systems: Acoustic systems used to detect and track subsea transponders or equipment. Useful for locating submerged objects such as pigging devices.
Each instrument is sent for calibration periodically and in accordance to customer requirements.

Here is the range of measurement for each instrument in our arsenal:
