Evaluation of long term deep sea effects on mooring line components by Ronald L Morey( Book )

1 edition published in 1973 in English and held by 1 WorldCat member library worldwide

The interpretation of environmental deterioration that occurs in oceanographic buoy systems is discussed. These single point taut-moored systems are used for the placement of instruments for long term measurements of oceanographic and meteorological data. A number of moorings have been lost necessitating an analysis of all components in the mooring line. Systematic examination of retrieved components has indicated the presence of corrosion at all stages in the mooring from the surface buoy to the anchor. This includes the various instrument housings and attachments, the mooring line and its terminations, and the interconnecting hardware such as shackles, links and chain. Pitting type corrosion, crevice corrosion, galvanic incompatibility, have been identified and design changes made. (Author Modified Abstract)
