Vaisala Measurement Instruments Are DNV Approved

Vaisala has received a formal approval certificate from Det Norske Veritas (DNV) to guarantee that the company's measurement instruments will withstand harsh marine conditions. The certificate applies to a complete line of Vaisala's humidity, dewpoint, moisture in oil and barometric pressure transmitters serving measurement needs in applications from ship machinery rooms to bridges.

Improving a ship's onboard machinery performance is an ongoing challenge for ship builders and shipping companies. Precise, detailed and continuous online information can help solve the challenge by minimising maintenance costs and machinery downtime - while maximising system performance and energy efficiency.

'Vaisala offers high precision and stable measurement instruments to help optimise demanding industrial processes,' said Pekka Ravila, director of Vaisala's Targeted Industrial Applications segment. 'With the DNV certificate, we can now offer our shipping industry customers a complete set of certified instruments,' he added.
