The newly upgraded Portascanner II Watertight Integrity test indicator (above) - which went into naval service in June this year - features dual decibel and mathematical readings in the display and is the most mathematically accurate in the world. Carrying clips also mean that operators can operate it hands-free. It is lightweight, intuitive to use and is supported by Coltraco's free Technical Training.
