    Hatch Cover Chalk Test

    Uploaded by

    trivediarjun
    This document describes a chalk test procedure used to check the weather tightness of hatch covers. The test involves applying chalk to the compression bar where it meets the hatch cover and coaming. After closing the hatch, any gaps or breaks in the continuous chalk line left on the rubber gasket indicate a lack of compression and thus poor weather tightness. A thick, continuous chalk line shows good compression and weather tightness, while a thin or broken line suggests poor weather tightness that could allow water ingress.

    HATCH COVER CHALK TEST


    This method is using chalk for an inspection to ensure full compression of the rubber gasket.

    A continuous chalk line on the rubber gasket means that the hatch cover is weather-tight.
    A thin line indicates a lack of full pressure (compression) in regard to weather-tightness, and
    any gaps in the chalk line indicate a lack of pressure between the compression bar and the
    rubber gasket, i.e. a lack of weather-tightness.

    1. Procedures
    (1) This check can be carried out on fine day.
    (2) Fully open the hatch covers and clean surface of rubber gaskets.
    (3) Put chalk on the compression bar on hatch coaming and hatch cover center meeting.
    (4) Fully close hatch covers and cleated. (Usual closing condition of hatch covers.)
    (5) Fully open the hatch covers and check condition of chalk trace on the rubber gaskets.

    2. Check Points
    (1) Chalk trace
    (A) Shade of color : Thick ⇒ Good, Thin ⇒ Poor
    (B) Line continuity : Continuous Line ⇒ Good, Broken Line ⇒ Poor

    Fig IV, Type of Chalk Trace

    (1) No chalk trace: Not weather tight. Will cause water ingress.

    No trace of chalk on rubber gasket.

    (2) Continuous but Thin chalk trace: Poor weather tight. May cause water ingress.

    Thin chalk trace means

    poor compression pressure

    (3) Continuous and Thick chalk trace: Good weather tight.

    Good weather tight
