Elevating Safety and Compliance Standards at Sea: Choose the Best Solution – Our Portamarine®
In the vast expanse of the open ocean, safety and compliance are paramount concerns for every vessel and crew. At Coltraco Ultrasonics, we recognise the critical role that marine fixed firefighting systems play in safeguarding lives and protecting assets against the ever-present threat of fire emergencies. That’s why we’re proud to offer a comprehensive range […]
Embrace the future of watertight integrity testing: Portascanner® WATERTIGHT PLUS
The Portascanner® WATERTIGHT PLUS generator fills the entire cargo hold with ultrasound. The receiver detects the smallest of ultrasonic signals so that leaks as tiny as 0.06mm can be located.
Ensure Refuge Shelters and Chambers are Sufficiently Airtight with the Portascanner® AIRTIGHT 520
Despite substantial effort taken by countries to reduce risk; explosions are still common events in mining and industry. Refuge shelters are built to provide isolated breathable air when air quality has been compromised. These chambers need to be maintained regularly because of their vital importance when accidents or explosions happen. Refuge Shelters Despite planning and safety precautions […]

Achieving Passive House Levels of Airtightness with the Portascanner® AIRTIGHT. Enhance Human Health, Planetary Health, and Building Health with a micro air leak detector will save you time and money, by ensuring that you will pass the mandatory pressure test, first time and every time. By enabling you to check for airtightness at every stage […]
Fire is Consistently the Second Leading Cause of Ship Losses Worldwide
CO2 systems provide an automated response to the outbreak of fire on a ship to ensure that fires are contained and controlled. They do, however, have several limitations; notably that gaseous suppression systems have a required cylinder fill level to ensure operability. Since cylinders are filled to very high pressures in excess of 50 bar, […]
Fire Suppression System Maintenance: What Should Be Tested?
A fire suppression system can remain unused for long periods, but its condition may still change. Liquefied agent can escape from a cylinder, pressure can fall in an inert gas system, sprinkler flow can be affected, and new gaps can reduce a protected room’s ability to retain extinguishing gas. These problems are not always visible […]
Flow Velocity Measurement Made Accurate and Non-Invasive with Ultrasound
Accurate flow velocity measurement helps engineers understand how quickly liquid is moving through a pipe without relying on assumptions about system performance. In water supply, building services, power generation and industrial process systems, dependable flow measurements can support commissioning, maintenance, efficiency checks and fault diagnosis. Coltraco Ultrasonics develops non-invasive ultrasonic technologies for critical systems. Its […]
