The Critical Role of a Sounding Cap
A sounding cap, also known as a pipe end cap, is more than just a cover. It serves several critical functions:
-
Protection: It seals the end of a sounding pipe, preventing ingress of dirt, water, and other contaminants that could lead to inaccurate fluid level readings or damage to the tank’s contents.
-
Safety: It protects the pipe threads from corrosion and physical damage, ensuring a secure connection can be made when needed.
-
Pressure Containment: In some systems, these caps must withstand significant pressure, making material strength and build quality essential.
We manufacture various types of sounding caps, including threaded caps with chains, to meet the specific requirements of different applications, from navy ships to industrial tanks.
Applications Across Industries
The reliability of our sounding pipe fittings makes them indispensable in numerous sectors:
-
Marine and Shipbuilding: Essential for fuel, ballast, and freshwater tanks on ships.
-
