PMI Industries, Inc. designs, manufac- tures and tests innovative products for solving underwater cable, wire rope and tension member application problems that withstand even the harshest under- water conditions. Backed by more than 40 years of qual- ity and service, PMI has been serving customers in the marine seismic indus-try with a full line of high performing products that are designed to protect multi-million dollar cable investments and minimize downtime. PMI is committed to providing the most robust cable systems and hardware available to the military, commercial and scientiÞ c communities. From initial product concept through quality assurance testing, PMI is a com-plete underwater cable system facility offering solutions for all types of appli- cations in the marine industry including: Cable Installation, Defense & Surveil- lance, Monitoring & Fisheries, ROVs & Ocean Equipment, Salvage, Search & Recovery Operations, Seismic & Survey Exploration and more.The Tech The Tech The gripping principles of PMIÕs prod- ucts are based upon the geometry and behavior of helically preformed wire. Through innovation and exhaustive laboratory testing, this unique helical gripping concept was engineered into many of PMIÕs products, resulting in a very reliable standard line of products, including:The DYNA-HANGER Suspension System (DHSS), which is a highly-reliable, cable-mounted attachment point for seismic streamers, paravanes, surface and subsurface ß oats, cable de- pressors and wherever a mid-span ter- mination is required. It is an engineered system that has been laboratory tested and Þ eld proven by PMI Industries. The EVERGRIP Termination is a full-strength, Þ eld installable termina- tion. Designed to hold 100 percent of the cableÕs rated breaking strength, it protects against fatigue of the cable sys- tem under severe dynamic conditions. The STOPPER/CABLE GRIP Ter- minations are ideal for getting a quick grip on your cable. The reliable, unique helical grip design offers both standard and custom options to Þ t most wire rope and E/M cables.
