Why self closing sounding pipes are used onboard?..

Answer / Ravi Tripathi

Self closing sounding pipes, also known as self-draining pipes or echo sounders, are used onboard ships for depth measurement. They provide essential information about the ship's position and the water conditions around it. Self closing pipes automatically close when they hit an object to prevent water from entering the pipe. This feature ensures safety and accurate readings.
