Cargo-Safe - Ultrasonic Hatch Cover Tester
CARGO-SAFE is an ABS Type Approved hatch cover tester. The CARGO-SAFE ultrasonic hatch cover weather tightness tester provides a quick and simple method of establishing weather tightness of hatch covers, bow, stern and side doors, but unlike hose testing, UT testing has no negative side effects on the port or harbour environment. Our ultrasonic hatch cover weather tightness tester can be performed in sub-zero temperatures.
The sound is played through headphones or a small internal speaker. If you need to know the side of the hole, we also have the products to display the intensity in decibels. A Decibel is the universal unit for sound measurement. The bigger the measurement of sound, the bigger the air hole you have.
Our CARGO-SAFE™ is the most powerful ultrasonic hatch tester available on the market with a 157 dB transmitter suitable for any size ship.
Class Instrumentation Limited guarantees the CARGO-SAFE™ to be free from defects in both materials and workmanship for a period of three years from the date of dispatch for the receiver and transmitter units. The accessories also have a 6-month warranty. Our consumers have access to free technical support via email or telephone. For the entirety of the product life. It is also durable and stormproof and has environmental protection to IP66.
For smaller-scale investigations, like water-tight and weather-tight doors, we suggest our DOOR-SAFE™.
If you have a smaller budget, and a smaller scale investigation is needed, we recommend our CABIN-SAFE™ system.
The CARGO-SAFE™ works in a very simple way. After the hatch covers are closed, the transmitter generating an ultrasonic signal is placed in the cargo hold, which then emits ultrasonic waves(the cargo hold can be empty or loaded with cargo).
The surveyor or operator then uses the CARGO-SAFE™ ultrasonic receiver to ‘listen’ from outside of the hold and detect any ultrasonic sounds that pass through any holes in the hatch cover with pinpoint accuracy. The size of the leak can be established by the strength of the signal detected.
The CARGO-SAFE™ hatch cover leak detection system has three levels of emitters: upper, lower and vertical. This means that ALL of the ultrasound is directed to the hatch covers, optimising its effectiveness.
CARGO-SAFE™ is a lightweight ultrasonic system for testing the water tightness of cargo hatch covers. The complete system is contained in one carry case for convenient transportation.
