PLASTIC SUBSURFACE FLOATS
Mooring Systems, Inc. utilises plastic commercial fishing floats for use in a variety of instrument mooring applications. Configurations include; subsurface mooring flotation, instrument frame buoyancy, and pop-up recovery buoys for bottom mounts. The basic configuration of placing floats in series on a single strength member provides an inexpensive buoyancy alternative in relatively shallow water applications. Galvanized steel strength members and shackle attachment eyes provide 5,000 pounds of strength. Neoprene washers are used to protect the plastic when secured tightly on the steel rod. Floats are available in single double or triple assemblies.
STEEL SUBSURFACE FLOATS
Mooring Systems, Inc. manufactures steel flotation spheres for use in shallow-water oceanographic mooring applications. Steel spheres have been in use for over 30 years and continue to provide benefits to oceanographers and marine engineers for long-term deployment of instrumentation and sample collection apparatus. Steel floats are larger in volume than alternative plastic and glass floats, providing greater buoyancy per float. This advantage translates to better mooring performance as fewer floats for the same given buoyancy will result in lower drag.
