    1. Ultrasonic leak detector. Mod. 003 It provides a simple way to detect leaks and carry out accurate mechanical inspections using advanced ultrasound technology. Before you start taking measurements, we recommend that you first familiarize yourself with the components of your equipment.

    2. Table of contents · Components · Measuring gun The main component of the Detector is the ultrasound gun. We will examine each part from back to front. · Bar graph display The screen contains a bar graph display with ten LED segments which indicate the intensity of the ultrasound signal.

    IMPORTANT: They are compatible with the security helmet. 3. Uses of the Ultrasonic leak detector. Mod.003 3.1. Detection of leaks in condensate purgers An ultrasonic test of the condensate purgers is a test that all users of purgers should frequently perform as a preventative measure.

  • Page 7: Confirmation Of: Steam/Condensation/Flash Steam

    Before starting to detect a leak: 1. Determine what type of purger is in the line. Familiarise yourself with the way the purger works. It is intermittent or continuous drainage? We should easily recognise the operating sound of each type. 2.

  • Page 8: Closed Buiy Purger With A Thermostatic Element

    The inverted floater purger operates intermittently. If steam is leaking through the valve, we will detect the loss of this intermittent nature and the escape sound will be strong and continuous. · Closed buoy purger with a thermostatic element Operates with a float valve that opens up for the accumulation of condensates and transports it. It also incorporates a thermostatic element that allows for the automatic elimination of air.

    In the presence of cold water, the bimetals remain flat. On detecting a higher and higher temperatures, they become deformed in a convex shape, moving the seat against the valve. Maximum convexity, and with it, a totally watertight seal, is obtained just at the mid-point of moving from condensate to steam.

    3. Start to scan, directing the module downstream of the valve and listen through the headphones. 4. If you detect a lot of ultrasound in the area, reduce the sensitivity adjustment and continue scanning. 5. Try to listen for an "escape" sound while watching the meter. 6.

  • Page 11: Detecting Bearing Faults

    The ultrasound inspection of the bearings is extremely useful as a preventative measure: a. Start of a fault due to fatigue. b. Fault in the surface of the bearing - Brinelling. c. Lack of lubrication. In ball bearings, when the metal in the track, the roller or the ball of the bearing starts to wear out, there is a slight deformation which will increase in line with its use.

  • Page 12: Detecting Bearing Faults

    · Detecting bearing faults Carry out comparative tests. The comparative method consists of inspecting two or more similar bearings and "comparing" the potential differences. 1. Use the stethoscope module. 2. Select a "testing point" on the housing of the bearing. Touch this point with the stethoscope module.

    4. Solving general mechanical problems When mechanical components are subject to wear, breakage, misalignment, etc., they are also producing changes in their usual ultrasound behaviour. This change can save us time and effort in diagnosing problems if properly monitored. Therefore, an ultrasonic history of key elements can avoid unscheduled downtime.

    As ultrasound is high frequency, it has a short wavelength. Its properties are different to low frequency or audible sounds. A low frequency sound requires less acoustic energy to travel the same distance as a high frequency sound. (Fig. A) The ultrasound technology used by the Detector is what is generally referred to as air-coupled ultrasound.
