Subsea Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) have to perform maintenance tasks at depths of several thousand metres. One common task is pipeline valve maintenance and IML provides torque measurement on underwater tooling. The tool housing is strain-gauged and calibrated to measure torque reaction from the tool head.
It is important to check the tooling before it submerges for many hours, so IML also provides on-deck torque measuring equipment.
 
The top picture shows a ROV torque tool with an IML annular torque cell.

The lower picture shows a stainless steel torque cell for checking torque tools on-deck before they go subsea.
