Ultrasonic
Leak Detection |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ultrasonic
leak detection is now accepted by major oil and gas
producers as one of the most effective ways to instantly
detect hydrocarbon gas leaks, and is a widely used
alternative to traditional fixed gas detection systems
(point detectors and open path detectors) in plant
environments. |
|
|
|
It is also
much more efficient and expedient than the older "tape and
snoop" method for finding leaks in hydrocarbon processing
facilities. |
|
|
|
EMLOC Ltd can
detect and pinpoint pressure and vacuum leaks, as well as
electrical arcing. The PowerBeam
300 allows long range detection (up to 300')

Advantages: |
|
|
|
● |
Many problems
are only detectable in the ultrasonic range. |
|
|
|
● |
System and component problems are first detectable in the
ultrasonic range. Early detection and proper maintenance
often prevent more serious and costly problems from occurring
later. |
|
|
|
● |
Ultrasonic technology detects many problems that can not be
distinguished in the audible range due to surrounding audible
background noise. |
|
|
|
● |
Ultrasonic technology is non-destructive and does not
adversely effect or interfere with the component, equipment,
or system being assessed. |
|
|
|
● |
Ultrasonic testing can be performed while equipment is
operating. |
