Scope

This specification applies to small square weathertight hatches in the size range 650 mm ¦ 650 mm to 1275 mm ¦ 1275 mm. Four sizes are covered to a common basic design, with variations in securing and stiffening to suit the increases in size. Coaming height and thickness are not specified, as these will be determined by the position of the hatch and the requirements of the appropriate Statutory Authority and/or Classification Society.
The hatches are suitable for giving access to compartments other than those subjected to pressure. They are not suitable for use as escape hatches.
NOTE: When ordering hatches to this specification, the purchaser should provide the particulars listed in Appendix A.
