Knowledge of materials, fatigue behaviour, coatings and cathodic protection, as well as the influence of marine growth, is of critical importance. We also carry out (minor) upgrades that increase the performance of existing subsea equipment.Īs most of our solutions operate in seawater, durability is a very important aspect of their mechanical design. Moreover, Seatools’ mechanical design department frequently plays an important role during feasibility and conceptual studies that require the performance of critical FMEAs.

Seatools is able to deliver mechanical designs at every level – from the mechanical design of subsea components (such as our Inclino sensor range) to complex mechanical designs of a subsea trencher like the Arthopod pipeline trencher. At our mechanical design department, much emphasis is placed on the creative process so as to develop concepts that are able to perform at a minimum level of complexity. Not only because a fitting mechanical design strongly influences a solution’s durability and its mechanical features (like weight and strength), but an ingenious mechanical design can also greatly increase simplicity, thus reduce costs and increase reliability. If you were wondering my new drives tested as flawless.For many of our solutions, mechanical design plays a critical role. The photos are for my inventory and testing results. I ran the Short Test, the Long Test and the Acoustic Test, taking a digital photo of the results of each.After the test, the floppy disk was completely empty. The SeaTools software must have a floppy disk in the A drive (possibly writeable) or the long test will not complete.My P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP based machine booted from the SeaTools CD no problem.

My A7N8X Deluxe based computer would not boot with the drive attached.Connecting the SATA drive externally via eSATA works great for drive testing (I used a Rosewill eSATA enclosure).It worked better for me, but I think my hardware hindered the drive detection. Though a certain hack/fix (from this discussion) might work for you in Vista 64 bit. The SeaTools Windows version doesn't generally work in Vista 圆4 (Known problem).Download the Seagate SeaTools (also works for Maxtor) DOS ISO for drive testing, and burn the CD (I downloaded v2.13B on Jan-7-2009).Always test new drives ASAP so you can return defective drives within warantee period, and avoid lots of wasted work/installs/reinstalls.I had a hard time testing some new Seagate ST31000340NS drives recently, and here is what I learned.
