| The
presence of leaks in compressed air, steam, gas and other high-pressure plant has two
major consequences; cost and safety. The cost of producing steam and air is proportional to the
amount of losses through leaks; the less a plant leaks, the more efficient it is. Without
an active maintenance program typically 20% of boiler generated steam can be lost through
leaks. After implementing a leak audit one factory owner in the USA, who runs an aluminum
wheel plant, calculated over $140,000 in compressed air savings. |
Safety
strategies when dealing with leaks are essential. Superheated stream and compressed air
are often invisible and highly dangerous to personnel working in such environments. THe
ULTRASCAN Leak Detector is designed to give you a solution to leak/cost and leak/safety
issues. It detects leaks by focussing on the ultrasonic noise they generate. From years of
experience and product development ULTRASCAN has evolved into the most sensitive
instrument of its type and can detect the smallest of holes or cracks in pipework and
vessels. |
The
unit also auto-ranges, so the operator is always working at the maximum sensitivith to
suit their environment.
The presence of leaks is indicated by
three simple lights on the front panel. A discrete in-ear headset enables the operator to
accurately listen to the leak and still be able to wear additional ear defenders;
increasing operator safety and maintaining safety standards. |
