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

The Ultraprobe 550 has been designed for ease of use, and it often takes no more than fifteen minutes to become competent in using and testing with this Ultraprobe. Fast accurate diagnosis through use of the Ultraprobe 550 will dramatically reduce unplanned downtime and shorten planned outage time. The Ultraprobe 550 heterodynes ultrasound to an audible range, providing accurate sound reproduction.

The Ultraprobe 550's versatility makes it ideally suited to work with any plant program...

• Predictive maintenance (PDM)
• Energy conservation
• Safety
• Quality Assurance (QA/QC)
• Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)
• Process Safety Management (PSM)

The Ultraprobe 550 also meets and exceeds ASTM E1002-93 requirements for leak detection equipment.

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.
