Ultrasound Analysis

Ultrasound Analysis/ Inspection is least used but of great usage CM technique. It is always underestimated & a lesser-known technique. In reality, Ultrasound Analysis/ Inspection gives early indications of the fault than any other techniques, even before vibration analysis.

For Bearing Condition monitoring, Ultrasound Inspection is the best technique. No other techniques even Vibration Measurement/ Analysis can beat Ultrasound Analysis in CM of bearings. Acoustic Lubrication helps in keeping the correct quantity & quality of lubricant in the bearing. Ultrasound Analysis detects even faults due to contaminated lubrication, which Vibration analysis doesn’t (unless there is metal particle contamination in lubricant)

The Variety of uses of Ultrasound Inspection/ analysis includes,

1. Bearing Condition Monitoring
2. Vacuum, Compressed Air, Steam Leak Testing
3. Tightness Testing of Milk/Special Chemical/ Hazardous Chemical tankers,  Pressure Tanks, Ship Hatches, Shipping Containers
4. Steam Traps Condition Monitoring
5. Valves Condition Monitoring
6. Tracking in insulators in high voltage electrical systems like Transmission Towers, Transformers, Substations, HT Panels
7. Corona & Arcing in high voltage electrical systems like Transmission Towers, Transformers, Substations, HT Panels
8. detection of slight rubbing of rotating/reciprocating parts of dynamic equipment, like motors, pumps, engines, gear boxes, compressors etc.

The Ultrasound Inspection detects frequencies over 20 kHz. Our applications use frequencies between 36 kHz – 40 kHz. With ultrasound inspection, we can hear a sound that we can’t hear normally with our ears.

We have state of the art ultrasound analysers & expert experienced Ultrasound inspectors, to render Ultrasound analysis services.
