Ultrasonic Leak Detector Cygnus Hatch Sure for Ships

Ultrasonic Leak Detector Cygnus Hatch Sure for Ships – is a professional ultrasonic hatch leak detector designed for fast and accurate weathertightness testing of cargo hatch covers, doors and watertight seals on dry cargo vessels and other marine applications. With ABS type approval and acceptance by P&I clubs, this advanced ultrasonic system helps crews, surveyors and ship inspectors locate leaks quickly and reliably — without the need for cumbersome hose testing or emptying cargo holds.

Efficient Ultrasonic Weather Tightness Testing

Cygnus Hatch Sure uses ultrasonic sound waves to detect leaks by measuring sound energy that passes through gaps in hatch covers and seals. The system’s powerful transmitter emits ultrasound uniformly throughout the cargo space, and the receiver clearly displays the sound level and leak indicators in decibels for precise leak location and assessment.

Key Features & Advanced Capabilities

• Rapid and Thorough Testing: Perform comprehensive weather tightness inspections much faster than traditional hose tests.
• Water Tightness with Cargo in Place: Inspect hatch covers and seals without removing cargo, saving time and avoiding disruption.
• ABS-Approved & P&I Accepted: Meets maritime industry standards and accepted by Protection & Indemnity (P&I) clubs for survey use.
• Adjustable Power Settings: Six selectable pre-set transmitter power levels allow testing in large cargo holds or confined spaces.
• Digital Calibration & Display: Simultaneous display of Open Hatch (OH) value and decibel (dB) readings for straightforward interpretation.
• Lightweight & Portable: Designed for ease of transport and deployment in the field — can be carried in a rucksack-style case.
• Hands-Free Operation: Receiver supplied with neck and waist straps; transmitter includes multiple anchor points and a sling for secure positioning.
• Minimal Training Required: Quick to learn and operate with minimal crew support.
• Environmentally Friendly: Can be used in place of hose testing, reducing water usage and environmental impact.
• Durable Construction: Rugged and reliable for use in marine environments and varied weather conditions.

Applications

• Dry Cargo Hatch Covers: Detect and pinpoint water ingress around hatch seals and coamings.
