Center of Buoyancy

Testing procedures eventually demand a reading of the center of buoyancy. Raptor Scientific is on your side with solutions that help serve professionals working on marine equipment for military agencies and related industries. Gauge a marine vehicle's performance long before it is used for real-world applications. Our experts support you with ongoing customer support and can answer questions about our inventory.

Importance of the Center of Buoyancy

Raptor Scientific offers buoyancy measurement equipment so that manufacturers can better understand the theoretical performance of vehicles in water or air. Until recently, experts relied on approximate calculations or indirect measurements to determine how well a vehicle will submerge in water or float. You can trust Raptor Scientific for a buoyancy measurement instrument that takes the guesswork out of your procedures.

About Our Center of Buoyancy Measurement Instrument

Equipment from Raptor Scientific provides the means to comprehend the center of buoyancy of submersible vehicle within an accuracy of ±0.1 inches. Our technology works by first fixing your testing vehicle with three different load cells. You will be able to record the center of gravity in this position. During the procedure, you will lower the vehicle into water, where the load cell output is captured. Examining the differences between the in-air load cell data and the in-water position tells you your product's center of buoyancy. An overhead crane is required to support your vehicles throughout the testing process.

Benefits of Using Our Buoyancy Measurement Instrument

Engineers and program managers look forward to using Raptor Scientific's equipment for the benefits below:
  • One machine for center of buoyancy, mass and center of gravity data
  • Designed for use in harsh aquatic settings
  • Highly portable design for flexibility with cranes and water sources
  • Reduced need for at-sea testing trials
  • Improved turnaround time for testing procedures
