Assuring High Quality Cable Assembly Delivery

The existing hydrostatic pressure test capability at the BlueZone Perth facility has been improved with the addition of the capability for live testing of cable assemblies and Electric Fly Leads (EFLs).

Perth GM, Mark Musarra, said that BlueZone had responded to customer requests to upgrade the pressure test capability by introducing live testing. “Live testing adds a further level of assurance for our customers when we deliver cable moulding and cable assemblies from our Subsea Cable Moulding Service” said Mark. “We can now subject assemblies to customer- specified test cycles including live testing for continuity, isolation and insulation at pressure up to 3000psi (2000 metres of seawater).”

The capability for live pressure testing includes electrical connection for 4-pin and 7-pin Electric Fly Leads (EFLs) and up to 8-pin cable assemblies. The live pressure testing capability supports the BlueZone commitment to delivery of high-quality cable assemblies and connector moulding that customers can depend on for subsea operations.
