There are many types of testing equipment on the market, but if you are looking for a way to monitor the bearings, valves, gear boxes, pumps and other electrical equipment that is enclosed, ultrasonic testing equipment is the way to go. These units will offer continuous monitoring of these areas for you. They are very easy to install while being cost effective as well. The ultrasonic testing equipment is used around the world so that equipment is protected.

The ultrasonic testing equipment can find leaks, let you know if a bearing failure is imminent and test all types of mechanical equipment. If you are worried about flashover the ultrasonic testing equipment can detect arcing, corona and tracking that would lead to this problem. These machines sense a high frequency emission and are used in many industries. You could use the ultrasonic testing equipment in general manufacturing, power generation, processing, distribution, transportation and printing.

Applications that can be detected include leaks in pressure or vacuum systems, wind noise, seals, gaskets, valves, hatch leaks, compressed air, steam traps, boilers, heat exchangers, a building envelope and distillation columns. Mechanically speaking the ultrasonic testing equipment can find bearing problems, over lubrication issues, lack of lubrication, hydraulic systems, couplings, fans and gears or gear boxes.

Electrically the ultrasonic equipment is used for switchgears, arresters, motor control centers, transformers, insulators, distribution lines, breakers and buss bars. Aircraft are an excellent place to use ultrasonic testing equipment. This method can detect leaks in fuel cells, hot air ducts, oxygen systems, tire leaks, cabin pressure, hydraulic valves, floatation devices, and actuators. Leaks in the cockpit windows, problems with pumps, bearings and gears are also very detectable with ultrasonic technology.

This type of technology detects very minute changes in the ultrasound of these components. They convert the signals so that someone wearing a headset can hear them. Ultrasonic equipment can utilize a plug in model that uses a scanning mode or contact mode. This way the equipment can be checked for mechanical or leakage problems. The maritime industry employs ultrasonic equipment to keep their ships afloat. There are many applications for this equipment.
