Dear Sir,

 

We are pleased to enclose our Ultrasound measurements report.

 

The report includes the demo measurements done at your site and our recommendations.

 

Should you require any clarification you are welcome to contact us.

 

Finally, we would like to thank all maintenance staff who offered all the support needed for preparing this report.

 

 

 

 

Sincerely yours,

Leak Detection

 

Find leaks quickly and easily with Ultrasound technology

 

Ultrasound leak detection covers a wide range of leaks: pressure or vacuum and any type of gas.

 

Sound dependent: ultrasound instruments detect the turbulent flow produced as the gas moves from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side of a leak. Using the characteristics of Ultrasound, locating leaks is fast and easy to do so because of:

 

  • Directionality of sound waves makes locating the source easy

 

  • Intensity of signal: the closer you get, the more sound you detect

 

  • Fixed frequency, making it effective to locate even in a loud factory environment!

 

In many facilities Ultrasound detection instruments are used for safety, environmental, energy or quality assurance programs:

 

 

  • Compressed air costs money! Avoid

energy loss by fixing your leaks

 

  • Industry average 31% of energy use can be avoided by just fixing leaks!
  • Reduce running hours / wear and tear on existing equipment
  • In many cases a lower spec or shut down of a compressor can be the result
  • Specialty gasses

 

o Cost avoidance, expensive to buy or produce o Environmental impact of certain gasses

 

  • Production efficiency

o  Achieve better efficiency of the process

 

o  Run pressures or vacuum pressures at desired levels

 

  • Inspection efficiency & inspector safety

AIR LEAK ASSESSMENT SUMMARY

 

 

SUMMARY:

 

 

  • Compressed air is one of the most costly utilities in a facility today. A simple program of leak

 

  • inspection and repair can go a long way towards reducing excessive energy costs.

 

  • When conducting a compressed air or steam trap survey, you should always calculate your savings. Energy savings mean big dollar savings as well as a significant increase in production, asset availability and product value. Energy savings, or “cost avoidance” is not only important to your company’s bottom line, it will help

 

  • A major advantage to ultrasound leak inspection is that as a high frequency, short wave signal, ultrasound emissions tend to be localized around the leak site. By scanning an area with an ultrasound instrument, a user will follow the sound of the leak to the loudest point. Once identified, the leak amplitude can be noted and used in UE Systems’ compressed gas reporting tool for reporting, cost analysis and environmental impact.
