Frequently Asked Questions About Marine Sensors and Control Systems

Honeywell measurement technologies deliver field-tested performance benefits for marine vessels. Pressure transmitters feature advanced performance that can lower the total cost of ownership through reduced maintenance and downtime.  
 
Temperature transmitters help monitor and protect asset health on ships while helping reduce energy waste and improve safety. Level gauging products offer continuous and precise measurement for safer operations during loading and discharging.

Marine sensor selection depends on measurement parameters and operating conditions. Position sensors are designed to meet demanding temperature, vibration, shock and EMI specifications, with potential applications in valve position and marine motors. 

 

Pressure sensors address system pneumatics and hydraulics applications, while speed sensors detect rotational movement and direction for machinery monitoring. Each sensor type operates across wide temperature ranges from -65°C to 125°C¹ to accommodate varying shipboard environments.

Marine vessels include classified hazardous areas where ignition source control is critical for crew safety and regulatory compliance. Honeywell offers portable gauging and sampling equipment that is intrinsically safe and manufactured for use in Zone 0 classified hazardous environments onboard vessels.1
 
This intrinsically safe design supports operations in areas with potential explosive atmospheres. Marine sensors with high levels of electronics protection and sealing help maintain measurement reliability while meeting stringent safety requirements for hazardous locations.

 

These capabilities address both operational measurement needs and compliance with international marine safety standards.
