The Ultrasonic Leak and Corona Detector is a low-cost portable system that receives airborne ultrasonic signals
The Ultrasonic Leak
and Corona Detector is a low-cost portable system that receives airborne
ultrasonic signals, converts them to audible range, amplifies them and
displays the output visibly on a meter and audibly through a speaker or
headset. The system is designed for locating gas leaks and electrical
corona sources, all of which emit strong ultrasonic signals that are
inaudible to the human unaided human ear. Variously shaped collectors
facilitate quick location of ultrasonic sources; in particular. The
directional pickup horn allows pinpointing of discharges in high-voltage
equipment while the operators remain at a safe distance.
The ultrasonic
detection system shown above consists of the instrument with indicator
and speaker, plug-in ultrasonic transducer probe, directional pickup
horn attachment, sound concentrator attachment, and headset. A carrying
case is included.
The Ultrasonic
Leak and Corona Detector is useful wherever electrical or pressurized
equipment is used. Applications include preventive maintenance in plants
and utilities to locate poor or arcing connections, switches, faulty
insulators, lightning arrestors, power supplies, motors and radio
frequency interference sources. In the test laboratory, the set is
useful in performing high-pot tests on components of all sizes and for
high-voltage equipment tests. Early detection of leaks by preventive
maintenance checks in compressed air systems, boilers, and air
conditioning equipment will provide savings in reduced equipment
replacement and downtime.
