Observance of essential safety measures on board a vessel in accordance with the ISM Code helps to not only ensure safe operation of ships, but also make a valuable contribution to protecting of marine environment. Following the guidelines stated in Article 10.3, Part A of the ISM Code, namely necessity of “… regular testing of stand-by arrangements and equipment or technical systems that are not in continuous use”, Martechnic® has elaborated the MT TEST KIT VERIFIER which enables a quick testing of operational capability and accurateness of measurements of its portable test devices based on the gas pressure measurements: WIO CHECK and TWIN CHECK 4.0.

For condition verification of test devices (for example, TWIN CHECK 4.0), the “upper” part of the device (measuring unit with pressure sensor/ manometer) gets tightly screwed to the MT TEST KIT VERIFIER and then connected either with the calibration pump (if available on-site) or with pressure regulating valve and manometer (can be ordered as a complete version). After that the prepared unit is exposed to test pressure in order to check whether the pressure sensor displays the occurring internal pressure in a proper way. This can be done with the help of two reference pressures set on the adjusted manometer (for example, 0.3 and 0.6 vol. % H₂O). Regular testing with the MT TEST KIT VERIFIER helps to prove tightness, software and measurement accuracy of portable test devices in use.
