Overview

Ultrasound Testing provides a non-invasive predictive maintenance service to industry. Ultrasonic inspection systems respond to the in-audible or ultrasonic elements of these acoustic emissions. The ultrasonic sound being monitored is sound waves that occur in the 20 to 100 kHz range. The average threshold of human perception is about 17 kHz, making it impossible for early detection of a developing problem without the competent use of an UltraSound Probe.

Friction in moving equipment also generates ultrasonic sound. As lubricants break down and bearings wear, serious defects are heard, while subtle defects create noticeable changes in ultrasonic sound levels. These subtle changes indicate that a particular bearing or gearbox is starting to fail. Hence this can also be used as a tool in Condition Monitoring of Machines.

Ultrasound Testing has a very wide area of application such as Slow speed bearing monitoring, Flaw detection, Vacuum leak, Pressure leaks (air/steam ), Substations, Heat exchangers Electrical discharge (Arcing, Flashing, Corona, etc.), Steam traps, bearings, Gearboxes, Valves, etc.

We deploy portable equipment along with trained engineers to identify problems, prevent unscheduled downtime, identify corrective action and improve plant safety, saving time and money in a wide range of Industrial and commercial applications.
