Portascanner® WATERTIGHT Pro
lexible and Optimised for Diverse Applications
The Portascanner® WATERTIGHT PRO is suitable for a wide range of compartment and hatch dimensions. Its configuration can be adjusted to match different operational needs through several equipment options and settings, including:
A variable‑output, single‑transducer ultrasonic generator for high‑precision leak checks
A generator with three transducers to cover larger areas more efficiently
An optional tripod to improve signal distribution in spacious cargo holds
Filtering of test records by date or location for straightforward data management
Two testing modes—quick scan and full analysis—to adapt the workflow to time or accuracy requirements
Collate Leak Rates into a Total Result:
Ultrasonic System for Assessing Watertight Integrity
The Portascanner® WATERTIGHT PRO is a portable inspection device, operated through a tablet interface, designed to evaluate the watertightness of doors, hatches, and similar structures. It can identify multiple leakage points at once, indicating both their precise locations and their estimated size. During testing, the instrument logs each detected leak and its corresponding flow rate, storing the data internally. These results can then be transferred via USB for digital documentation and reporting.

Overview
Advanced Digital Leak Detection
The Portascanner® WATERTIGHT PRO enables users to capture an image of a hatch or test area before inspection. This image can then be used to mark the exact points where leaks are detected, making subsequent repairs and follow‑up checks straightforward. The device also calculates both individual and total leakage rates for a hatch, and can compare these values with relevant watertight and weathertight performance standards.
The system is simple to learn, and a single operator can quickly and non‑invasively test numerous hatches or sealing points in sequence. As a result, it offers a precise, user‑friendly method for supporting marine safety and meeting regulatory requirements.
