OBS Buoyancy
| Density : | 0.45g/cm³ |
| Size : | φ1300mm |
| Depth : | 1500m |
| Application Areas : | Ocean Bottom Seismometer |
OBS Buoyancy is a core component of marine seismic exploration equipment, primarily used to provide positive buoyancy for the instrument, ensuring it can float back to the surface for recovery after completing seabed data acquisition.
This material is specially designed for deep-sea high-pressure environments, with key requirements of low density, high compressive strength, and low water absorption. It is typically made from high-strength hollow glass microspheres compounded with an epoxy resin matrix, forming a solid buoyancy material. Its density generally ranges from 0.35 to 0.65 g/cm³, yet it can withstand hydrostatic pressures of tens of megapascals at water depths of several thousand meters while maintaining structural stability.
