What is Marine Fill Cap？

What is Marine Fill Cap? The Marine sounding pipe is sunk underwater by the weight control equipment of the sinking pipe, and the rising pipe is kept on the surface. When the sinking pipe reaches the bottom, the water depth can be measured through the pipe of the rising pipe. The riser is fitted with a pointer or sensor that transmits water depth data to the ship. The Marine Fill Cap is an indispensable valve attachment on the sounding pipe, which plays an indispensable role in the normal running of the ship.

Overview

The working principle of Marine sounding pipe

Marine sounding pipe is a kind of equipment used to measure the depth of water, which is usually composed of three parts: sinking pipe, rising pipe and connecting pipe. One end of the sinking pipe is fixed on the ship, and the other end is sunk underwater with a heavy weight, while the rising pipe is connected to the sinking pipe at one end and extends to the water surface at the other end. The connecting pipe connects the sinking pipe and the rising pipe so that they form a closed loop.

Structure of Marine sounding head

The structure of the Marine sounding head is mainly composed of the body of the sounding head, the plug of the sounding pipe head and the sealing gasket of the sounding pipe head. The material of the body is usually cast steel, the surface material is brass, the material of the gasket is NBR, and the material of the welding plate is WCB.
