DAS is a new technology for using fiber optic cable as a sensor to measure temperature and vibration, e.g., in bedrock or underwater. The technology transforms optical telecom fiber into a long series of fiber optic hydrophones capable with high spatial and temporal resolution along many kilometers of fiber cable.

We offer standardized testing of extinguishing installations like sprinkler, water mist systems, gas systems and foam systems for land based, offshore- or maritime applications.

Bresle kit and Breslepatches are available to purchase from RISE or from our retailers around the World.

IMO 2010 FTP Code, Part 10 - Test for fire-restricting materials for high-speed craft Appendix 2 - Fire test procedures for heat release, smoke production and mass loss rate for materials used for furniture and other components of high-speed craft

IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 5 - Test for Surface flammability (test for Surface materials and primary deck coverings)

IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 7 - Test for vertically supported textiles and films.

In vitro analyzes to study interactions between material/substances and marine microorganisms.

Corrosion and durability testing through alternate immersion of materials and coatings are offered for the different corrosive environments near and at sea.

The marine environment is harsh and demanding for materials and coatings long time performance. Crack propagation and degradation might induce corrosion and attachment of marine biofouling. By performing stability studies including careful characterizations material design and coating formulations could be optimized, improving performance and reducing need for maintenance. Analysis is also a valuable tool during troubleshooting making it possible to determine failure mechanism.

Testing and assessments of corrosion protection and corrosion properties of materials and coatings are offered for marine environments.

Corrosion and durability testing of materials and coatings are offered for the different corrosive environments near and at sea.

Corrosion and durability testing through continuous or cyclic salt spray are offered for the different corrosive environments near and at sea.

Field tests to study static interactions between material/substances and marine fouling organisms according to CEPE.

RISE performs tests to meet marine EMC requirements on everything from components to systems so that they can be approved for use.

Antifouling systems are needed to protect manmade structures from marine growth (marine biofouling). Since environmental factors such as salinity and water temperature and situation of use may affect the properties needed by the antifouling system to maintein its efficacy for the right lifetime, a formulation and design development is required for meeting the needs of different situations of use and different final users. The antifouling product may be a material or surface coating which requires different approaches and methodologies in the formulation work.
