Description:
The Teslong Bore Scope Camera is a flexible inspection camera designed for visual inspections in hard-to-reach areas. It provides high-resolution images and videos, allowing surveyors to inspect the interior of pipes, tanks, and other confined spaces.

Example Survey Test:

• Inspection of Fuel Tanks: Use the bore scope to visually inspect the interior of fuel tanks for signs of corrosion, sediment buildup, or leaks.

Description:
The Fluke Infrared Thermometer measures surface temperatures from a distance using infrared technology. It is essential for identifying overheating components and potential issues in electrical systems. Additionally, it is used to accurately measure temperatures of main engines, auxiliary engines, exhaust systems, air conditioning output, and the internal temperatures of refrigerators and freezers aboard vessels.

Example Survey Test:

• Electrical Component Testing:Use the infrared thermometer to scan electrical panels and connections for hot spots that may indicate faulty wiring or overloaded circuits.
• Engine Temperature Monitoring:Measure the temperature of main and auxiliary engines, as well as exhaust temperatures, to ensure they are operating within safe limits.
• Refrigeration System Check: Test the internal temperatures of refrigerators and freezers to ensure they are maintaining appropriate temperatures for food safety and equipment efficiency.

Description:
This circuit analyzer tests and evaluates electrical circuits for safety and performance. It provides detailed information about circuit integrity, including voltage, current, and resistance measurements.

Example Survey Test:

• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Testing: Use the analyzer to perform GFCI tests to ensure proper functioning and compliance with safety standards.

Description:
The Trumex “Skipper” Moisture Meter is specifically designed to measure the moisture content in fiberglass structures. This tool is essential for assessing the condition of fiberglass components, helping to identify potential issues such as water intrusion or structural degradation.

Example Survey Test:

• Fiberglass Structure Inspection: Use the moisture meter to check the moisture content of fiberglass hulls or components in a vessel to identify areas at risk of damage or failure due to excess moisture.

Description:
The Phenolic Hammer is a specialized tool used to assess the condition of materials by tapping on surfaces. The sound produced can indicate the integrity of the material, such as delamination or voids.

Example Survey Test:

• Hull Sounding Test:Use the hammer to tap on the hull of a vessel to listen for hollow sounds that may indicate structural issues or delamination.

Description:
The Fluke 323 Clamp Meter measures electrical current without needing to disconnect wires. It is useful for assessing electrical loads and diagnosing issues in marine electrical systems.

Example Survey Test:

• Current Load Measurement: Use the clamp meter to measure the current draw of various onboard systems, ensuring they operate within safe limits.

Description:
The Ancel BST500 Battery Load Tester assesses the health and capacity of batteries by applying a load and measuring the voltage drop. It helps determine if a battery can hold a charge under load conditions.

Example Survey Test:

• Battery Health Check:Use the load tester to evaluate the condition of the vessel’s starting and deep-cycle batteries, ensuring they are capable of delivering adequate power.

Description:
The Ideal 61-327 Digital Multi Meter is a versatile tool for measuring voltage, current, and resistance. It is essential for troubleshooting electrical systems in marine environments.

Example Survey Test:

• Voltage Measurement:Use the multimeter to measure the voltage output of the vessel’s alternator and ensure it meets the required specifications for charging the onboard batteries.

These tools play a crucial role in ensuring the safety, performance, and longevity of marine vessels through thorough inspections and testing.
