    The document is a student assignment that answers how ultrasonic testing can check the water tightness of hatch covers. Ultrasonic testing involves placing a transmitter inside the cargo hold and measuring the ultrasonic signal received outside to determine the compression of the sealing system and identify any compromised areas. It is an accurate method as an ultrasonic generator is placed inside a closed hold and a sensor detects any low pressure areas along the compression joint that could indicate leakage points, though it requires specialized equipment and training not normally available on board.

    ASSIGNMENT N0.2

    QUESTION:

    Explain the Ultrasonic test is an important method to check the water tight system of the
    hatch cover?

    ANSWER:

    An ultrasonic test involves placing a transmitter in the cargo space and measuring an ultrasonic
    signal received outside the space. It provides an idea of the compression of a sealing system and gives an
    indication of areas where the sealing system is compromised.

    The Ultrasonic testing is a more accurate method of testing water tightness of hold and its cover. In
    this system an ultrasonic generator is kept inside a closed and intact cargo hold. A sensor of that unit is
    passed all over the compression joint and any low-pressure area or point detected by the instrument can be
    a leakage point. Few drawbacks of this instrument are it is not normally kept onboard and qualified person is
    required to perform this test.
