Marinisation (also marinization) is design, redesign, or testing of products for use in a marine environment.[1] Most commonly, it refers to use and long-term survival in harsh, highly corrosive salt water conditions.[2] Marinisation is done by many manufacturing industries worldwide including many military organisations, especially navies.
In some instances, cost is not a guiding force, and items may be designed from scratch with entirely non-corrosive components engineered and assembled to resist the effects of vibration and constantly changing attitude. In others, particularly in "marinising" an existing product that was not designed specifically for a marine environment for sale in the public marketplace, a balance must be found between the competing criteria.
There are three main factors that need to be considered for a product to be truly marinised.
- Resistance to corrosion.[3]
- Resistance to vibration.
- Ability to function properly in conditions of constantly changing attitude (an object's orientation about its center of gravity).
