Page 34: General Applications
APPENDIX I GENERAL APPLICATIONS 1. LEAK DETECTION This section will cover airborne leak detection of pressure and vacuum systems. (For information concerned with internal leaks such as in Valves and Steam Traps, refer to the appropriate sections). What produces ultrasound in a leak? When a gas passes through a restricted orifice under pressure, it is going from a pressurized laminar flow to low pressure turbulent flow. - Page 35 What type of gas leak will be detected ultrasonically? Generally any gas, including air, will produce a turbulence when it escapes through a restricted orifice. Unlike gas specific sensors, the Ultraprobe is sound specific. A gas specific sensor is limited to the particular gas it was designed to sense (e.g., helium).
- Page 36 1 . Build up the pressure (if possible) to create greater turbulence. 2.Utilize LIQUID LEAK AMPLIFIER. This patented method incorporates a UE Systems product called LIQUID LEAK AMPLIFIER, or LLA for short. LLA is a uniquely formulated liquid substance that has special chemical properties. Used as an ultra sonic "bubble test, a small amount of LLA is applied to a suspected leak site, It produces a thin film through...

UE SYSTEMS provides a variety of optional Warble Tone Generators. They are: 1. WTG2SP Warble Pipe Tone Generator with a 1” male threaded nipple to adapt to various pipe fittings. It is used to test areas where the standard Tone Generators cannot be place such as in small pipes, sealed tanks or heat exchangers (see page 7 optional accessories, WTG-2SP). -
Page 38: Electric Arc, Corona, Tracking Detection
TRANSFORMERS, SWITCHGEAR AND OTHER ELECTRICAL APPARATUS E. ELECTRIC ARC, CORONA, TRACKING DETECTION There are three basic electrical problems that are detected with the Ultraprobe 10000: Arcing: An arc occurs when electricity is conducted to “ground”. This is over a high current pathway. Lightning is a good example. -
Page 39: Monitoring Bearing Wear
Another accessory is the LRM Long Range Module which also increases the detection distance of the Ultraprobe. The basic difference is that the LRM is a one-hand operation but has a slightly wider detection area (10 ) versus the UWC (5 2. -
Page 40: Detecting Bearing Failure
DETECTING BEARING FAILURE There are two basic procedures of testing for bearing problems: Comparative and Historical Methods . The Comparative Method involves testing two or more similar bearings and "comparing" potential differences. Historical Method testing requires monitoring a specific bearing over a period of time to establish its history. By analyzing bearing history, wear patterns at particular ultrasonic frequencies become obvious, which allows for early detection and correction of bearing problems. -
Page 41: Over Lubrication
Over-Lubrication: One of the most common causes of bearing failure is over-lubrication. The excess pressure of the lubricant often breaks, or “pops” bearing seals or causes a build-up of heat, which can create stress and deformity. To avoid over-lubrication: 1. Don't lubricate if the base line reading and base line sound quality is maintained. 2. -
Page 42: Locating Faulty Steam Traps
PROCEDURE: 1. Select key locations to be monitored and make permanent reference marks for future testing 2. Follow steps 1-2 as outlined above in the General Mechanical Trouble Shooting section. 3. Select a frequency for the test. 4. Save by hitting Yellow Enter button (refer to Operation Mode: Yellow Enter Button for description). NOTE: In diagnosing any type of mechanical equipment, it is important to understand how that equipment operates. -

Page 44: Inspecting Valves
5. LOCATING FAULTY VALVES: Utilizing the Contact (Stethoscope) Module in the Ultraprobe, valves can easily be monitored to determine if a valve is operating properly. As a liquid or gas flows through a pipe, there is little or no turbulence generated except at bends or obstacles. In the case of a leaking valve, the escaping liquid or gas will move from a high to a low pressure area, creating turbulence on the low pressure or "downstream"... -
Page 45: Abcd Method
b. Touch the upstream side, valve seat, downstream sides (as described above) and compare differences. ABCD METHOD The ABCD method is recommended to check for the potential of competing ultrasounds downstream that may carry back to the area of inspection and give a false indication of a valve leak. -

metal rod and listen for the leak sound. This should be repeated approximately every 1-3 feet until the leak sound is heard. To locate the leak area, gradually position the rod until the leak sound is heard at its loudest point. An alternative to this is to use a flat metal disc or coin and drop it on the test area. -
Page 47: Ultrasound Technology
ULTRASOUND TECHNOLOGY The technology of ultrasound is concerned with sound waves that occur above human perception. The average threshold of human perception is 16,500 Hertz. Although the highest sounds some humans are capable of hearing is 21,000 Hertz, ultrasound technology is usually concerned with frequencies from 20,000 Hertz and up. -
