Benefits for industry

 Ultrasound inspection gives essential benefits in the industry:

Detect  and Monitor mechanical equipment

• bearings

• gears

• motors

• cylinders

Detect pressure and vacuum leaks

• pumps

• valves

• gaskets

Test the integrity of non-pressurized vessels

• seals

• hatches

• windows

Detect electrical arcing and corona discharge

• electric panels

• transformers

• insulators

• substations

Test ignition system

Plug lead

Spark plug connector

Ignition coils

Distributor caps

Check on spark estimate

Bearings are important and exchanging them before they break saves cost.

The tests should be done regularly unless used for one time events

Compressed Air Measurements

UST-180 can easily detect leakages on compressed air hoses and tubes. The importance of leakage detection is demonstrated on the following table:

Leakage hole -  mm	outflowing air volume at 8 bar (i/min)	Loss of Energy KW
1	75	0,6
1,5	150	1,3
2	260	2,0
3	600	4,4
4	1100	8,8
5	1700	13,2

Therefore production costs (power costs) can be greatly reduced with regular leakage checks.
