Seamap Sleeve Gun
Field proven in worldwide applications, Seamap Sleeve Guns are available in two series (IC and IIC). Offering precise timing for a superior acoustic signature, Sleeve Guns are reliable, safe and easy to repair.
The Seamap Sleeve Gun offers several key benefits over traditional air guns.
- Improved safety – Sleeve Guns can be retrieved and deployed without being pressurized.
- Signature reliability and 4D repeatability – Traditional air guns use multiple ports, and the resulting discharge of air becomes rapidly disorganized. In a compact array, these disorganized bubbles can interfere with each other in an unpredictable and non-repeatable fashion. Seamap’s Sleeve Gun uses a single 360 degree port, resulting in a predictable, spherical bubble with a reliable and repeatable interaction with adjacent guns.
