A lot is being emphasized about using
proper tools for detecting leaks in hatch covers, but few are able to
use it to its best. There are certain things that can make a reading go
wrong when checking tightness of hatch with ultrasound. It must be
remembered at all times that the ultrasonic tightness tester is a gadget
and gadgets can malfunction if not handled properly. It must be ensured
that the gadget is in its best condition whenever testing needs to be
conducted. Here are some points to consider before you start using it on
your ship, boat or any other kind of vehicle.
Max Power
That’s right! You need the best power to fuel your gadget for the best performance. Remember that your gadget runs on batteries, when was the last time you used it? It must a month now since you last used it to conduct a test and now the batteries would have almost died, that’s how long a battery would last wouldn’t it? Now it’s time to insert new batteries to make it work like a new machine. The old ones will make it start, but there is no guarantee how much power they have left and will start giving odd results without you realizing it. Either a leak would not be detected or the beep will go off more than once with you wondering if your boat has become a net full of holes.
The Right Assembly
While this may sound dumb mentioning here but believe me, I have seen a lot of people really lousy at assembling their gadgets. When running the hatch cover ultrasonic tightness testing you do not need any stupid results but the accurate ones. A lot of people insert the cables in the wrong port or they miss an important part altogether. What do you expect from a wrongly attached port or an incomplete gadget?
Good Working Climate
Undoubtedly tightness testing of hatches with ultrasonic equipments is done in tough times but wait for the climate to become more bearable if you can. When the atmosphere is clear around the gadget it will amaze you with its performance. And try your very best to save it from water because although it is waterproof but you cannot risk your results to anything faulty. The more you take care of your gadget the better will be your vehicle and you will never be disappointed with its results.
