Burnwire
REL-238

Picture
Burnwires are devices used in seawater to release an anchor weight, close a Niskin bottle or baited trap, release a float or drop arm, or close a valve.

The Global Ocean Design Burnwire holds up to 250-lbs (static) until a 10-24V DC voltage is applied. Using seawater as a conductor, the burnwire galvanically corrodes, releasing in 6-15 minutes depending largely on environmental conditions, mainly temperature.
​
The Burnwire includes a 316 Stainless Steel shackle and a SubCon ILM1M pigtail with locking sleeve. It fits in the Global Ocean Design Burnwire Mount (sold separately).

Key Features:
  • Rated for 250-lbs (static)
  • Side-load and torque tolerant
  • Compact
  • No moving parts
  • Proven to work at any depth
  • Individually load-tested at factory
