Ultrasound inspection is one of advance valuable tools for predictive and preventive maintenance, and energy management. In order ultrasound is used in preventive maintenance is relatively simple. Normal human hearing are limited to certain limit, compare to ultrasound detectors are sensitive to sound beyond the limits of human hearing, and therefore with ultrasound equipment we able to ‘hear/trigger’ faults in rotating machinery, electrical distribution systems, and leaks in vacuum and pressurized systems.
Ultrasound analysis provides more comprehensive electrical inspection when used combine with infrared analysis to identified corona, tracking, arcing and resistance problems in any electrical equipment.
“How it works”. An ultrasound detector senses small changes in the ultrasound signature of a component and accurately pinpoints potential sources of failure before they cause severe damage to the components. The translators provide information in two ways “qualitatively” through visual and incremental reading on ultrasound equipment.
Typical Problems Area
- Compressed air leak on equipment.
- Gas leak on machine, piping and static equipment
- Steam traps drainage and leakage problem.
- Bearing failure.
- Electrical equipment problem.
- Bearing lubrication problem.
- Un-pressurized leakage.
- Leakage on valves, piping system and static equipment.
- Corona, tracking, arcing and resistance problem in electrical equipment.
