ULTRASOUND INSPECTIONS
HEAR LEAKS, ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE AND DEVELOPING MECHANICAL CONDITIONS
HIGH-FREQUENCY INFORMATION YOUR MAINTENANCE TEAM CAN USE
Accurate Infrared provides airborne and structure-borne ultrasound inspections for leak detection, energized electrical systems and mechanical equipment. Ultrasonic instruments translate high-frequency sound into information a trained technician can hear, measure and document, even when the condition is difficult to distinguish from normal plant noise.
Because ultrasonic emissions are generally directional and localized, the technician can move toward the strongest signal, identify the suspect component and record the finding for repair or additional testing.
LEAKS
Locate compressed-air, gas and vacuum leaks created by turbulent flow at the leak site.
ELECTRICAL
Screen for ultrasonic signatures associated with arcing, tracking and corona where the equipment and access permit.
MECHANICAL
Evaluate bearings and lubrication conditions to support planned maintenance and repeatable trending.
FIELD EXAMPLES
Representative imagery from real field assignments. Client, vessel and location details are intentionally withheld.
ULTRASOUND APPLICATIONS
FROM FOCUSED TROUBLESHOOTING TO FACILITY-WIDE PROGRAMS
Ultrasound can be used for one difficult troubleshooting problem, a facility-wide leak survey, recurring bearing routes or an electrical condition-monitoring program. Findings can be tagged in the field and documented with equipment identification, sound levels and supporting observations in a concise report.
Our certified ultrasound technicians coordinate with facility personnel to understand operating conditions, background noise, access limitations and safety requirements. Ultrasound findings indicate conditions that deserve attention and may require further testing before the repair method is selected.
