▸Description

The Cygnus Hatch Sure is a professional ultrasonic hatch cover leak detector designed for rapid weather-tightness testing of cargo hatch covers, watertight doors, inspection hatches, and marine access covers. Using advanced ultrasonic technology, it accurately identifies leakage locations without the need for traditional hose testing, reducing inspection time and operational costs.

Featuring a powerful transmitter with six selectable output levels, the Hatch Sure can be adapted to different cargo hold sizes, from large bulk carrier hatch covers to smaller yacht and boat hatches. The receiver simultaneously displays Open Hatch (OH) values and sound levels in decibels (dB), enabling fast and reliable leak detection.

Lightweight and easy to transport, the complete system weighs only 3.8 kg and can be operated by a single user with minimal training. Inspections can be performed with cargo in place, making it an efficient solution for shipowners, marine surveyors, ports, and vessel maintenance teams.
