Locate Leakage in Hatch Covers or Doors with Pinpoint Accuracy
Purpose-built for weather tightness testing of cargo hatch covers, the Cygnus Hatch Sure ultrasonic leak detector can identify the exact location of leakage accurately and swiftly. And what’s more, the transmitter features adjustable power to suit different sizes or types of cargo holds as well as smaller areas such as cargo hold entrance hatches, inspection hatches, yacht and boat hatches.
Cygnus Hatch Sure Technology
Sea water ingress is one of the major sources of damage to cargo resulting in expensive insurance claims.
Cygnus Hatch Sure provides a quick and effective method of evaluating hatch seals and consists of a battery powered transmitter, lightweight receiver and telescopic extension inspection microphones:
- The battery powered transmitter contains 19 ultrasound emitters (40 kHz). These emitters are arranged to produce an omni-directional sound field, uniformly distributed throughout the cargo hold.
- The receiver displays the sound energy level that passes through gaps in the enclosed cargo hold to enable the location of leaks to be quickly and accurately identified.
