BIRNS UTS (UN) Penetrators
BIRNS UTS (UN) Penetrators
BIRNS penetrators safely and reliably transmit electrical power or 
signal through a pressure boundary, decrease the complexity of electrical systems and reduce dependence on operator skill. They are extremely rugged, require minimal maintenance, and are engineered for long-term deployment.
BIRNS provides the industry’s highest volume of cost-effective, in-house hydrostatic and helium pressure testing. Thus, BIRNS penetrators are the only ones in the industry that can be ordered with inclusive pricing and lead time for stringent ABS certification.
BIRNS has American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Product Design Assessment (PDA) Certification for its tremendously popular lines of penetrators. This certification process included rigorous testing and review by the national organization, and resulted in ABS pre-approving all design, drawing and test procedures for BIRNS electrical penetrators and cable assemblies for underwater vehicles, systems and hyperbaric facilities for use on a variety of ABS-class vessels.
BIRNS UTS (UN) penetrators have standard UN-2A mounting threads, are widely used on diving bells, submarines and submersibles, and can be configured for a wide range of demanding applications. Standard pressure rating is 70 bar (1,000 PSI / 2,300 FSW) and can be tailored to higher ratings.
Available sizes:
HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE
BIRNS can customize penetrators to specific requirements, including:- Cable length (inboard and outboard)
- Conductor quantity and size
- Straight or 90° cable molding
- Cable jacket material
- Test methods and witnessing
Specific Customizations:
- Cable Length (inboard to 18m/60′; outboard to 3m/10′ or on special order to 4.5m/15′)
- Cable Stock, including conductors quantity and size (See conductor color coding)
- Wiring of TSP/STP (screened twisted pairs):
- leave the shields not connected (“floating shields”)
- “marry” all (or some) of the shields to one or more or more penetrator pins
- terminate each shield to its own penetrator pin
- terminate overall shield to Penetrator shell…or isolate it from the shell, as you prefer
- Straight or 90° cable molding
- Cable jacket material. We use BIRNS 52D-089 LSZH wire (tails/flying leads) inboard unless otherwise specified. For 52D-089 LSZH wire inboard, add the suffix “-LS” to the part number (e.g. P38100-24-RA-LS)
