Hatch Tightness Testing Device

HATCHTITE™ is a robust and versatile instrument for the reliable testing of water tightness of cargo hatch covers to prevent cargo damage.

Unlike hose and chalk tests, which only demonstrate whether or not there is contact between the rubber packing and compression bar, HATCHTITE™ indicates when you actually have the required compression to prevent water getting into the hold space.

HATCHTITE™ uses a transmitter placed inside the cargo hold (empty or with cargo) emitting ultrasound waves. With the hatch covers closed, a hand held telescopic microphone is used at the hatch cover interfaces.

The system is fully compliant with IACS Unified Requirement U.R.Z17 and approved by insurers and P & I clubs.
