Electrical Inspection

Regular ultrasonic checks of electrical assets detect early partial discharges, ensuring plant reliability. Our SONAPHONE and SONASCREEN tools differentiate corona, tracking, and arcing stages across voltages, inspecting open/closed systems, cabinets, relays, and transformers for safety.

Ultrasonic Leak Detection

Detecting compressed air system leaks is vital for energy efficiency in manufacturing. Using our SONAPHONE and SONASCREEN devices for regular checks not only saves costs but also boosts safety and reliability by preventing leaks and conserving energy.

Steam Trap Testing

Ultrasound technology enables early detection of steam trap failures, preventing energy wastage, production downtime, and equipment damage. By identifying issues such as blockages or leaks, ultrasound assessments ensure optimal steam system efficiency. Regular checks using ultrasound tools like the SONAPHONE can enhance energy savings, reduce maintenance costs, and improve overall process reliability in industrial settings.

Condition Monitoring

Instituting routine condition-based monitoring of bearings is vital for an effective preventive maintenance strategy. Timely identification of damage or wear indicators in both friction and non-friction bearings mitigates downtime, bolsters operational dependability, and generates significant cost efficiencies.
