What are the most important tools in a Marine Surveyor’s toolbox?
Part 2 - Tapping Tuesday. Hammers are a key tool for percussion testing - the black art of striking a surface with the right hammer in the right place with the right force to identify defects in the structure. It is a non-destructive testing technique that takes skill, practice and experience to execute well.
There are four hammers in my toolbox for this:
1. The ‘Toffee Hammer’ - a lightweight hammer for testing FRP hulls
2. The ‘Barge Basher’ - a heavyweight hammer for steel barges and narrowboats
3. The ‘Nick Faldo’ - great for testing FRP topsides and decks without marking
4. The ‘George Gently’ - a soft faced hammer for hitting everything else
Expressed in simple energy terms percussion testing is:
Energy Imparted - Energy Absorbed - Sound Produced = Energy Returned
In the right hands, a hammer can be like a portable x-ray machine for boat hulls and decks.
