Description
A sounding cock sits on top of a tank sounding pipe on a ship. You open it to lower a sounding tape and measure the level of fuel, oil or water. When you let go, a weighted lever closes it again. As a result, vapour and water cannot escape or enter the tank. We stock bronze sounding cocks at our showroom in Nad Al Hamar, Dubai.
First, give us the sounding pipe size, for example 40 mm. Next, choose the end type: threaded or flanged to JIS or DIN. Also, choose a cap with a chain where the pipe is on an open deck. Therefore, the tank stays sealed between soundings.
Why Choose Our Sounding Cock
- Self closing: The weighted lever shuts the cock as soon as you release it.
- Safe tanks: It keeps fuel vapour in and seawater out.
- Marine bronze: Bronze bodies resist seawater and corrosion.
- Easy to use: In addition, the wide bore lets the tape pass freely.
