For a perfect working environment it is essential to provide a safe environment to the staff. Factories are one of the most dangerous places for a human being to work. The immensely huge machines and they too in hundreds of them all at one place can send shivers down the spine. Some machines such as compressors and boilers are simply like atom bombs if they explode. Some incidents of the past clearly show the destruction that can be caused if an accident happens. Call it human error or a faulty machine; it all leads to destruction when some crucial area of it emerges a leak. Leak is formed when the area becomes weak and if it is not mended instantly, it will cause uncontrollable damage.

Factories consist of huge pipes serving different purposes as passing liquids to different areas or as ventilations. A leak in the pipe can be troublesome and it should be mended as soon as possible. But most of the times they are concealed or covered with special coatings which make it difficult to find the exact area of leak. In this case the best practice is to use the method widely known in the maritime industry as hatch cover ultrasonic tightness testing. This is a method which does not require dismantling the entire machine to find the leaks. 

Dismantling a machine is not an easy task. Not only will it be costly, it will also require a lot of time to simply put it apart piece by piece. And when the pieces are removed, the seals again require new to be put on which only adds to the expenses. With the help of the ultrasonic leak detector device, finding hidden leaks is like magic. You simply point the device towards the machine, pipe or container and learn if there is anything you should be worried about. And as ultrasonic waves do not cause any problem to the machines, you do not have to worry if there is a computerized chip inside because it will not be affected at all. 

The method of checking tightness of hatch with ultrasound is best for the single skinned containers. Let the harmless ultrasonic waves travel through the steel body and determine a leak is present or not. If you come across something to worry about, just call in the repair team and have the specific area inspected instead of bringing down the entire body and wasting precious time and resources.
