Ultrasound Inspections for Mechanical System Integrity
DETECT DEFECTS WITH
ULTRASOUND
Ultrasound is considered the first line of defense for finding defects that can lead to asset failure. Costly compressed air leaks, bearing over/under lubrication, electrical safety. Take the guess-work out of your routine PMs.
Let our experienced technicians provide accurate and reliable inspections to keep your operations running smoothly.
ULTRASOUND Analyis
Typical applications for ultrasound include compressed air & gas leak detection, bearing inspection and real-rime lubrication, motors, gearboxes, electrical inspection of energized electrical equipment, valves, hydraulic applications and steam traps
Partial Discharge
Hear it Before You Feel It
Electrical apparatuses like switchgear, transformers, insulators or disconnects and splices can all fail, but long before they do, the faults can be detected with ultrasonic technology.
Unlike electrical infrared thermography inspection, ultrasound devices can detect discharges in their earliest stages, long before they begin to generate heat.
​Ultrasound should be your first line of defense technology to build out your overall electrical condition monitoring and analysis strategy.
Vibration Analysis
Rotating Equipment
40% of bearings fail prematurely due to improper greasing. Wow.
Blown bearing seals? Prevent overgreasing, and the guesswork involved with Calendar Based Lubrication. Our equipment can tell at the exact moment when a bearing is properly lubricated.
Our high-tech ultrasound instruments allow our team to carefully monitor a bearing during lubrication until the minimal decible level is reached, indicating perfect lubrication.
Air Leakage
Compressed Air is Not Free
Leaks are expensive. According to the US Department of Energy, average systems waste between 25 and 35% of its air to leaks alone.
The average initial investment in a compressor system is only 25% of the expenses associated over it's lifetime. The other 75% of the costs go to energy used to compress the air.
Looking for ways to boost profits within your organization? Start on the back-end by reducing wasted air.
ULTRASOUND IN PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
A Powerful Tool
Ultrasound inspections are a non-destructive testing technique that use high-frequency sound waves to detect changes in the structure of materials. They are widely used in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, transportation, and energy production. Ultrasound inspections can detect problems that may not be visible to the naked eye, such as cracks, leaks, and other defects.
Ultrasound inspections are typically performed by trained professionals who use specialized equipment to transmit and receive sound waves. The results of an ultrasound inspection can be used to identify potential problems before they become more serious, which can save you time and money in the long run.
There are many benefits to ultrasound inspections, including:
-
Early detection of potential problems: Ultrasound inspections can identify potential problems before they become more serious, which can help prevent costly downtime and repairs.
-
Improved safety: By detecting potential problems early, ultrasound inspections can help prevent accidents and injuries caused by equipment failure.
-
Increased efficiency: By identifying problems early, ultrasound inspections can help improve the efficiency of your equipment and reduce energy consumption.
-
Cost savings: By detecting potential problems early, ultrasound inspections can help reduce the cost of repairs and maintenance.
After having an ultrasound inspection performed, you might find a variety of issues, such as:
​
-
Bearing defects: Ultrasound inspections can detect defects in bearings, which can lead to equipment failure if not addressed.
-
Leak detection: Ultrasound inspections can detect leaks in pipes and other equipment, which can help prevent environmental damage and reduce the risk of accidents.
-
Electrical faults: Ultrasound inspections can detect electrical faults in motors, transformers, and other equipment, which can help prevent fires and other safety hazards.
