Reliable Testing With Ultrasonic Equipment

It has now become a common practice to make use of ultrasonic equipment as it is one of the reliable ways of testing the watertight integrity of hatch covers, doors, ventilators etc. ultrasonic testing is the only way through which you can evaluate the estimates of required or acceptable amount of compression. Ultrasonic testing is exceptional in providing pin-point accuracy. It is based on extremely simple and principle. To check the tightness of hatch with ultrasound, an ultrasonic transmitter is used which is placed in the hold. It starts emitting ultrasound waves. The hatch cover over it is then completely and tightly closed and sealed. The operator of the ultrasonic transmitter, then make use of the Ultrasonic detector to listen from the outside of the container. He is able to detect all the ‘leakage’ ultrasonic sounds that pass through sealed arrangements. This enables the operator to pin point the leakages or any problem with great and exceptional accuracy.

There are many advantages and benefits of using Hatch cover ultrasonic tightness testing equipment and technique;

• It provides completely reliable, accurate and repeatable results.
• It minimizes the cost, as the only cost it incurs is on purchasing the ultrasonic device.
• It does not need water or any other kind of difficult operations or procedures.
• An ultrasonic testing cut down the time which is required for testing the conditions of hatch covers, doors or windows.
• It ensures that hatch covers prove to be truly worthy for the cargo and prevent any type of water seepage.
• It can also be used for the holds that are stacked with the water vulnerable cargo.
• It can be conducted irrespective of any kind of weather conditions.
• It gives clear and pin point indications about compression.

The ultrasonic has become especially popular and widely used by the shipping industry due to its many different advantages that it renders to the industry. It causes a reduction in costs which is a real time relief. This is because it saves them lots of time and from different kind of penalties which might have imposed on them, otherwise, due to any problems in the cargo. The companies which are making use of ultrasonic tightness testing devices with full extent and on regular basis are now able to earn better profits and they are also getting more and more voyages. The invention of this ultrasonic device and technique is really a tremendous gift to the maritime industry, in this modern and competitive age.

The use of hatch cover ultrasonic tightness testing has become extremely important in the modern industry, because it lowers the risk factors and enables the companies to gain good deal of profits while minimizing their costs. It helps to create reliability and validity of the company in the industry and help them gain good and profitable contracts from the market. There are many different manufacturers in the market who are offering new, latest and improved ultrasonic devices which will lift your business to new heights at a fraction of a cost.
