Why choose ultrasound?

The use of ultrasound is a smart approach for a number of reasons...

  • Ultrasound is very directional and localised - it basically travels in straight lines
  • This means that ultrasound can be easily blocked or shielded - so, if there is a competing source of ultrasound, it can be easily taken out of the equation
  • Ultrasonic instruments, such as the Ultraprobe, can be used in noisy environments - don't stop production to find those compressed air leaks!
  • Changes in ultrasound can provide early warning of potential problems
Overview

Ultraprobe 2000 (ATEX Approved)

The Ultraprobe 2000, which is ATEX Approved, is used throughout the Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical and Power industries to find both pressure and vacuum leaks, check valves and test steam traps, monitor bearings and detect electrical arcing. It is also featured as part of the "No Leaks" strategy, implemented by the United Kingdom Offshore Oil Association (UKOOA).

The Ultraprobe 2000 is also intrinsically safe, and now meets both ATEX and Factual Mutual approvals...

  • ATEX Approved - II 1 G EEx ib IIC T3
  • Factory Mutual Approved - Class 1, Division 1, Groups A, B, C and D

This ATEX Approval means the Ultraprobe 2000 can be safely operated in the group IIC, which is the most dangerous explosion group (which includes Hydrogen).

Designed for easy-of-use, it often takes no more than fifteen minutes for the operator to become competent in testing using the Ultraprobe 2000. Furthermore, the unit is sensitive only to ultrasonic frequencies, and does not respond to the low-frequency noises often associated with operating plant equipment. This means that the Ultraprobe 2000 can be effectively utilised in even the most noisiest of environments.

Other features of the Ultraprobe 2000 include...

  • Frequency tuning, which enables the operator to "tune into" problem sounds, while also minimizing background interference
  • Meter mode, which adjusts the meter response from a real-time display to an averaging response, allowing for accurate adjustments for leak detection and mechanical analysis

Enhanced Capital Allowance scheme

Ultraprobe - Energy Technology List (Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme)

Our range of ultrasonic leak detectors qualifies for the government's Enhanced Capital Allowance scheme. By meeting the government's stringent qualifying process - by detecting a 0.4mm leak in a 75 PSI system from 20 metres - the Ultraprobe demonstrates superior energy efficient performance.

By claiming an Enhanced Capital Allowance, interest free loans and tax advantages may be available, which could result in improved cash flow and a reduced payback period. There is a space on the tax form to include ECA purchases.

Please ask your Financial Director to visit HM Revenue & Customs.
