Evaluate watertight integrity of seals and doors using Ultrasonic Testing
Ultrasonic testing provides a simple and reliable method of checking seals of any closing appliances or structures.
The Cygnus Hatch Sure system consists of a battery powered transmitter, lightweight receiver and telescopic extension inspection microphones. The powerful transmitter with 19 ultrasound emitters distributes an omni-directional sound field which uniformly fills the areas under test and the receiver detects any ultrasound that gets through any gaps in the closed door or compartment and displays the sound energy level, identifying the location of leaks or damaged seals quickly and reliably.
