Cygnus Hatch Sure
Ultrasonic Hatch Cover Leak Detector
Cygnus Hatch Sure is an ultrasonic leak detector able to perform a quick and effective evaluation of cargo hold hatch covers and door seals to determine water leaks and weather tightness.
The system consists of a battery powered transmitter containing 19 ultrasound emitters (40 kHz). The emitters are arranged to produce an omni-directional sound field, uniformly distributed throughout the cargo hold.
The receiver part of the system displays the sound energy level that passes through gaps in the enclosed cargo hold to enable the location of leaks to be quickly and accurately identified.
Cygnus Instruments builds all of its equipment in the UK using only genuine and original parts and components – including Lemo® Connectors and Peli® Cases.

I’m pleased to inform you that this month I completed the one hundred and twentieth vessels inspection and I’m entirely satisfied with the Cygnus Hatch Sure equipment.
Item was used with total satisfaction, we shall keep in touch for further purchases soon.
Device is working very well, we have used many devices but this one is far ahead from others.
A super piece of kit, and our go to detector when performing yacht hatch and door ultrasonic leak detection testing.
