DNV GL approves PSM analogue programmable transmitters
PSM Instrumentation has been awarded Marine Type Approval from DNV GL for its new Analogue Pressure Transmitters (APT), which can offer a cost-effective alternative to alternative tank level transmitters.
These APT transmitters, which are suitable for marine, industrial and hazardous area applications, have demonstrated that they are fit for purpose and meet the required environment and performance criteria during the Approval process.
“We believe that our APTs offer a new alternative tank level transmitter solution and are pleased that they’ve been recognised as compliant to give customers further confidence in our product range,” said Mark Jones, sales and marketing manager, PSM Instrumentation.

Thickness gauges for drones by Tritex NDT A drone-mounted thickness gauge has been developed by Dorchester-based, Tritex NDT.
The Multigauge 6000 has a single probe on a flexible head. This projects forward of the drone and can take readings on curved or complex surfaces “so you don’t have to come in at exactly 90 degrees”, said Jon Sharland of Tritex NDT. This will then transmit real-time measurements “up to a line of sight distance of 500 metres” said Sharland, using an integrated RF transmitter on the gauge to a ‘dongle-type’ transceiver that simply plugs into a laptop’s USB port.
Usefully the readings are displayed and stored in a grid or string format, easily read by Excel or other programmes, making analysis fairly straightforward.
For Jon Sharland, it’s the logical extension of the company’s already established technologies. The multi-echo device has already been proven on the company’s ROV mounted kit, using an Automatic Measurement Verification System (AMVS) the gauge will ignore painted coatings up to 20mm thick and give true readings even on the most heavily corroded metals.
