We will also highlight the advantages of ultrasonic thickness gauge testing as a vital tool for proactive corrosion inspection. Hidden Costs Of Corrosion In Industrial Systems Corrosion in industrial systems can have a significant impact […]
Introducing Portascanner® WATERTIGHT PRO: Enhancing Naval Availability by Mitigating Risk of Water Ingress
This new generation of technology has now been officially released in the form of the Portascanner® WATERTIGHT PRO, an ultrasonic instrument used for the location and quantification of leak-sites, generating water flow rates in watertight compartment Multiple Cable Transit Areas, hatch covers, bulkheads, and watertight doors at sea. The Portascanner® WATERTIGHT PRO is a completely […]
Know Your Numbers: Mathematics of Gaseous Extinguishing Systems
By starting with the numbers and mathematics of gaseous extinguishing systems, Coltraco are leading the way in the fire industry. 31˚C – CO2’s critical point: the temperature at which CO2 turns totally from liquid to gas. CO2 is permanently under 720 psi or 49 bar of pressure ie nearly 50 times atmospheric pressure (by comparison a […]
Leaking Hatch Covers Are Hazardous – Swedish P&I Recommends Ultrasonic Testing
Hatch covers are essential to a ship’s cargo containment system. They are designed to protect the cargo from damage and prevent water from entering the ship’s holds. However, if the hatch covers are not properly maintained and tested, they can fail, resulting in severe consequences. A Swedish P&I’s Monthly Safety Scenario involving leaking hatch covers […]
Liquid Level Indicator and Its Technical Specs
Coltraco Ultrasonics has been in this field for more than 27 years whereas they are known to be the supervisor of this relevant field. The Portalevel® Standard uses ultrasonic technology to identify the interface between liquid and air in any single skinned container. It therefore has none of the user problems associated with radioactive liquid […]
Liquid Level Indicators & Fire Safety Compliance
Fire suppression systems are a critical line of defence in high-risk environments like marine vessels, energy plants, and critical infrastructure sites. However, for these systems to be effective and legally compliant, their contents must be accurately and regularly monitored. That’s where non-invasive liquid level indicators come into play. These advanced technologies offer a safe, efficient, […]
Maintain Cleanroom Integrity with EFAFLEX High-Speed Doors and Coltraco’s Portascanner® AIRTIGHT
Maintain Cleanroom Integrity Cleanroom integrity is key to ensuring the efficient operation of ventilation systems and pressure maintenance. As with most forms of engineering, it is usually the moving parts which wear out first, and the leak sites will tend to manifest themselves around the doors and windows, which are opened and closed. Cleanroom doors play […]
Maintaining Fire Suppression Cylinders in EX-Rated Hazardous Environments with Ultrasonic Liquid Level Indicators
In hazardous environments like ATEX Zone 1 areas where the risk of fire and explosion is ever-present, ensuring the readiness of fire suppression systems is paramount. Fire suppression cylinders, containing agents vital for extinguishing fires, must be maintained at optimal levels to swiftly combat any potential blaze. However, traditional methods of manually checking liquid levels […]
Mitigating Risks With Advanced Monitoring In Industrial Storage Systems
Importance Of Risk Mitigation In Industrial Storage Risk mitigation is a strategy to prevent workplace incidents. It involved identifying, assessing, and reducing risks to the facility, operation, and workforce. An effective risk mitigation strategy proactively considers every element of the organisation and implements methods to prevent or reduce these risks. Correct storage is often a […]
