The SDT HATCHecker is an ultrasound solution designed to test the integrity of vessels for weathertightness. Use HATCHecker to pinpoint the exact location of leaks in hatch covers, doors and windows, and confirm that hatch covers are weathertight and compliant with the ruling regulations.

The HATCHecker works with SDT's ergonomic Flexible Sensor and the T-Sonic9 ultrasonic transmitter. Place the transmitter inside the hold, close the hatch, and scan the seals from outside: wherever the seal leaks, ultrasound escapes and the receiver picks it up.

Focused
Both the T-Sonic9 transmitter and the handheld receiver are light, compact, robust and built for the harsh marine environment.

Simple
An ergonomic design, a vibrant color display and only a few keys make the HATCHecker easy to use, easy to travel with, and accurate at pinpointing leaks on board ship.

Affordable
SDT quality and engineering at a price that makes the HATCHecker the practical answer to leaky hatch covers.
