Ultrasound in Predictive Maintenance

Ultrasonic testing is a predictive maintenance technique for detecting faults that might go unnoticed if we rely solely on other techniques.

There are numerous phenomena that are accompanied by sound emissions above the frequencies of the audible range. The characteristics of these ultrasonic phenomena make it possible to use ultrasonic detectors in countless industrial maintenance applications:

• Detection of fluid leaks in pipes, compressed air systems, valves, etc.
• Inspection of steam traps.
• Mechanical inspection of bearings, gearboxes, alignment checks, etc.
• Monitors and assists with proper lubrication.
• Fault detection in reciprocating machines, such as valve inspection and impact on coupled components.
• Electrical inspections of electrical panels, transformers, substations, insulators, high-voltage lines, etc., to monitor corona discharge, tracking, and arcing.
• Leak tests on vehicles, ships, trains, “clean rooms,” autoclaves, etc.
• Verification of the operation of hydraulic and pneumatic valves.
• Verification of the cavitation phenomenon.
