A sounding cap located above a sounding pipe is a sounding device used in Marine systems and offshore drilling platforms. The sounding cap is suitable for both oil and water tanks. The main material of JIS F3003 probe cap is brass.
Overview
The role of Marine sounding pipes
The function of the sounding pipe is to sink to the water through the heavy control equipment of the sinking pipe, and the rising pipe remains 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 role of Marine sounding caps
When the ship is in maintenance, because the body of the sounding pipe head is welded and fixed with the ship deck, at this time if the whole is replaced, it will bring a certain amount of work. At this time, we can only replace the plug (sounding cap) of the sounding head, it will be more convenient and cost effective.
