General Description: An entire book could be devoted to the list of applications for ultrasonic detection in industry for preventative, predictive maintenance and quality control. The following is an outline of some of the most commonly used applications. Automotive and transportation Wind noise, water leaks (windshield, tightness), bearings (including bearings on robots). Leaks on air brake systems. Aviation and space Cabin pressure leaks, cockpit windows, oxygen system leaks, fuel cells, actuators, tire retention, hydraulic valves, hot air duct leaks, slides and rafts, nitrogen system and pneumatic system leaks, bearings. Trucks and buses Wind noise, water leaks, air brakes, injector sequence, wheel bearings (slow speed). Rubber and tire Leak detection; steam traps, valves, bearing monitoring, electrical gear (tracking), pumps, motors. Railroads Air brakes, bearings, water leaks, electrical gear, and diesel injector's sequence. Chemical and petrochemical Pressure/vacuum leaks, bearing monitoring, steam traps, valves, compressors, heat exchangers, gear/gear boxes, pumps (including cavitation), motors, electrical gear (arcing). Construction/Contracting vehicles and cranes Pump cavitations; valve leaks, air in-leakage around fittings, tire retention, bearings, gears. General manufacturing Bearings, valves, steam traps, compressors, heat exchangers, pneumatic systems, pressure/vacuum leaks, gear/gear boxes, electric arc/corona/tracking in electrical gear. Gas plants Compressor valve analysis, leak detection, valves, bearing monitoring. Facilities and buildings Bearings, air handlers, pumps, motors, compressors, pressure leaks, steam traps, valve, chillers, transformers, circuit breakers, relays, leaks in building envelope i.e. air infiltration, water leaks. Marine Water tightness integrity tests, hatches, bulkheads, pneumatic system leaks, valves, heat exchangers, steam traps, diesel injector timing, condensers, bearing monitoring, refrigeration leaks, pumps, compressors, electrical gear (arcing), air distribution boxes (Manifold). Materials and composites Vacuum, autoclaves, bearings on pumps. Pulp and paper Steam traps, valves, bearing monitoring (including slow speed), heat exchangers, pressure/vacuum leaks, and electrical gear. Power plants (generation/distribution) Condenser in-leakage, heat exchangers, steam traps, valves, boilers, bearing monitoring, pumps, turbines, arcing and corona in electrical gear.
