L&S Electric uses ultrasound surveys to detect leaks in pressure and vacuum systems, and detect electrical arcing.
Air/gas under pressure escaping from a leak site creates turbulence observed as a rushing of sound in the headset of the test equipment. Utilizing the meter display allows the user to quantify the leak.
Electrical arcing and tracking create an ultrasound, which can be detected as a sound in the headset.
We recommend testing switchgears, transformers, circuit breakers, buss bars, relays, junction boxes, insulators, and other electrical gear.
An ultrasonic unit is also able to detect the earliest stage of bearing failure; often used on less-critical bearings when grouped together such as with conveyor roll bearings.
