Sherlog

	Ultrasonic Hatch Cover Tightness Testing
2005 Training Schedule	Hatch cover testing and leak detection remains the weak link in the chain for many owners, surveyors and insurers. But now you can rely on a complete solution that is fast, easy and brings you all the facts – with pinpoint accuracy: Sherlog. Sherlog ultrasonic products and services were developed by SDT International specifically for maritime applications. They offer unprecedented pinpoint accuracy and reliability. The reason is very simple: only ultrasonic testing gives the surveyor the right assessment about the required compression between rubber packing and compression bar.

	One Man Operation for Faster Turnaround
American Bureau of Shipping Lloyds Register Det Norske Veritas Hellenic Register	Imagine a system that tests for cargo-worthiness in any weather condition, sub-zero temperatures and even when the cargo is already loaded. This slashes the time needed to test the hatch covers (or bulkheads, doors, ramps or even windows). The fully digital instrument measures in dBµV and allows the operator by means of its flexible sensor to easily check hard-to-reach places. Moreover, the Sherlog TA features data logging and tamper-free data transfer for enhanced reporting.

This is important to ensure that the ship is in a seaworthy and cargo worthy condition and organize on-board maintenance or seek for shore based support or professional assistance in case repairs should be beyond the capability of the ship’s crew. Mandates by P&I Clubs and Class make ultrasonic inspection with Sherlog TA the accepted method for inspecting hatch covers. A Sherlog TA training class meets the standards set out by the Nautical Institute. IACS Unified Rule Z17 requires that operators carrying out tightness tests of hatches with ultrasonic equipment are able to demonstrate: That they have knowledge of different hatch designs, their functioning and sealing features. That they have experience with operation and maintenance of different hatch designs. That they are able to document a theoretical and practical training onboard in using ultrasonic equipment specified.
