Hydrostatic release unit
Hydrostatic release unit
The Hammar H20 hydrostatic release unit is designed for liferafts from 6 up to 150 persons.
The Hammer H20 release unit consists of a double looped white rope line, (breaking strength 2,2 ± 0,4kN).
The white strong rope of Hammer H20 is secured to the deck or life raft cradle and attached to the life raft lashing with a slip hook. If the ship sinks, the water pressure will, within 4 meters, activate the sharp knife which cuts the white strong rope and the life raft will float free. As the ship sinks, the life raft painter line will be stretched and the life raft starts to inflate. The Red Weak Link™ breaks and survivors can board the floating life raft.
