Ultrasound Camera for detecting leaks

Industrial applications:

Compressed air leakage (ISO 50001)

Process gas leakage under pressure (oxygen, argon, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, ...)

Vacuum leakage (vacuum gas)

Steam leakage

HTA/HTB electrical fault of the corona type, partial discharge, pathway, etc.

Leakage (acoustic transparency) with optional ultrasound transmitter

Search for mechanical anomalies (bearing, gearing...) via stethoscope type listening

Maintenance of steam traps (V3+ basic and V3+PRO expert versions)

Temperature anomaly detection via infrared (V2+IR, V3+ and V3+PRO versions)

Technical specifications:

Sensor/Connector :
