Cygnus Hatch Sure

Ultrasonic Tightness Tester

This portable ultrasonic leak detector is designed to locate leaks and identify seal failures in any closing appliances or compartments, such as weathertight doors on marine vessels or watertight doors (WTDs) or windows on any structures from offshore oil & gas platforms to transportation vehicles.

Evaluate watertight integrity of seals using Ultrasonic Testing (UT) which 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, a lightweight receiver and telescopic extension inspection microphones. The powerful transmitter with 19 ultrasound emitters (40 kHz) distributes an omni-directional sound field which uniformly fills the areas under test. 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.

Key Features:

  • Ideal for inspecting watertight and weathertight seals of doors or any closing appliances
  • Pinpoint the exact location of leaks and help assess seal degradation
  • 6 adjustable power levels allowing the unit to be used in various sizes of areas
  • Easy and quick to operate, with minimal training
  • Inspections can be carried out without the need to clear the area
  • Lightweight 3.8 kg (8 lbs) and portable in a rucksack-style carry case
  • Digital calibration controls
  • Open Hatch (OH) value and sound level in Decibels (dB) are simultaneously displayed
  • Receiver supplied with neck and waist straps for hands-free use
  • Transmitter supplied with a sling & 4 anchor points allowing it to be lowered into position
  • ABS type approved and accepted by P&I clubs.

A super piece of kit, and our go to detector when performing yacht hatch and door ultrasonic leak detection testing.
