United States-based NBOSI Ocean Sensors tirelessly develops real-world proven, durable, and compact conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) sensors that are based around an innovative four-electrode conductivity cell design. Find out more >>
NBOSI’s technology has been proven effective on REMUS UUVs from HII, AUVs from WHOI and L3, USVs from Liquid Robotics, and the Teledyne Webb Research Slocum Glider. These impressive applications of the NBOSI’s developments illustrate their dedication to producing high-quality products for a range of applications.
In the last year alone, the company has provided CT sensors for SailBuoy USVs, launched an integrated CTD sensor before attending Oceanology International 2024, and formed new commercial contracts with Apron Labs and Acbotics Research for these reliable new CTD sensors.
The products that NBOSI is showcasing on OST are:
The Model 501 CTD: providing live CTD data as well as salinity, speed of sound, and density, the 501 is housed in a compact enclosure for easy integration into various platforms via modular bulkhead connector options.
The Model 503 CTD: features the same high-performance as the 501, with a low-profile two-piece cylindrical design for installation within a flooded hull segment and a shroud that can be modified to match a range of hull diameters. The sensor’s cable can have a user-defined connector.
The 100 Series CT: features externally-mounted CT cell and an internally-mounted precision electronics PCB, and is available in three different form factors — rectangular with sloped or blunt ends, and cylindrical. Provides mobile marine platforms with research-quality temperature and salinity measurement capabilities.
All sensors include a cable that can be provided with a user-specified modular connector, and can come with a custom through-hull penetrator engineered for specific applications.
NBOSI also provides cost-effective, professional calibration services for temperature and salinity sensors, ensuring they continue to perform to their highest capabilities. The same applies to pressure validation testing and sensor calibration, up to 1,000 psi.
The sensors themselves are all fully potted and tested from the start, and can withstand pressures of over 6000 dbar, with the option for customization to meet specific requirements such as enhanced versions that can operate at up to 6750 dbar (9800 psi).
