Silicon Sensing has provided silicon MEMS gyros and inertial systems to a wide range of commercial markets, includ- ing the offshore industry, for over a decade. It has a formidable reputa- tion in the automotive industry, sup- plying over 3 million ESC yaw rate sensors per year with warranty returns less than 1 part/million. Silicon Sensing CRS09 solid-state gyro is suited for a range of underwater and surface requirements. The vibrating ring structure of Silicon Sensing Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) gyros was designed to offer low-noise navigation and attitude measurement in extreme conditions. This product is appropriate for orien- tation of remotely operated underwa- ter vehicles; dynamic positioning of anchored drilling activities; stabiliza- tion and location of surveying and pipeline inspection equipment; struc- tural monitoring and stabilization ofsurface platforms; and incorporation into severe environment attitude heading and reference systems (AHARS).

The gauge was designed by a marine sur- veyor who specialized in large oil car- riers. These gauges were built to overcome the rigors of gauging at sea, where surfaces can be heavily corrod- ed or coated with layers of paint or protective coatings. The gauges are designed to measure rough, corroded steel with minimal surface prepara- tion. Cygnus also offers a handheld thickness gauge and a series of ROV mountable gauges for subsea inspec-tion. Topside gauges are also avail- able in configurations from hands- free operation to durable and data logging. Cygnus recently introduced two ROV Mountable Thickness
