Ultrasonic Detection Testing
Ultrasound detectors perfectly complement infrared instruments for the routine examination of electrical equipment. While infrared inspections allow operators to “see” heat, ultrasonic testing allows technicians to “hear” sounds humans cannot ordinarily hear.
Corona arcing and tracking, which may not show up on infrared inspections, is revealed by ultrasonic testing via high- or low-frequency sounds. Ultrasonic frequency testing equipment is especially useful in continuous process industries such as the following:
- Chemical plants
- Oil refineries
- Food-processing plants
- Paper mills
- Utilities
- Plus, wherever plants run around the clock
Our technicians monitor equipment while it is running and detect sounds of problems in the making. This gives you the power to schedule maintenance shutdowns and replace only the parts that need to be replaced, ultimately reducing your costs.
The sounds begin at 20,000 hertz and go as high as 100,000 hertz. The longer wavelengths of these low-pitched sounds can easily penetrate solid materials and make problem areas easier to pinpoint.
