Electrical Equipment Fault Detection

Peace of mind and reassurance for the operator Tightness Testing on Underground Storage Tanks and other Air Tight Compartments The ability to test for tightness with an ultrasound detector is extremely powerful and versatile. It is the only way to ensure that underground storage tanks are air tight. But that isn’t all that ultrasonic tightness testing can be used on. There are many things that need to be air tight. Like the engine or cabin of a car, large shipping containers or the bearing housing in a paper production plant. When somethings tightness integrity deteriorates one or two things can happen. Things can leak out, or things can get in. And whenever possible, it is advantageous to avoid either of these from happening. Fuel Leaking From Underground Storage Tanks Damage the Environment and Waste Valuable Resources Overtime the tightness integrity of underground storage tanks or other air tight compartments can deteriorate.

Non-rotating asset components seldom receive the routine surveillance they need Hydraulic systems represent another way industry converts electricity to mechanical energy. A pump, normally powered by an electric motor, moves hydraulic fluid through a system. The system is typically made up of a reservoir to hold the hydraulic fluid, high pressure lines to carry the fluid, control valves that ensure the fluid is sent where needed, relief valves for safety, and cylinders to produce mechanical energy. The pump and motor receive attention while the balance of the system is run-to-failure. Ultrasound testing could change this lackadaisical approach; especially considering its versatility, ease of use, and applicability to most hydraulic defects. External and Internal Leaks External leaks can often be found by visual inspection. Some external leaks, like a ruptured hose or fitting, are easy to spot. Simply follow the trail of spilled oil. Others are not so obvious.

Keep Your Steam Clean, Safe And Energy-Efficient Steam is an essential resource is many industrial processes. As a result most facilities have a vast network of piping, valves, flanges and steam traps. Within these systems there exists constant flow and turbulence. As pure steam travels from your boilers to their point of use, some cooling is inevitable. The result is accumulated condensate and gases. Steam traps purge this waste and keep your system pure. A fully-functional steam trap opens, closes or modulates automatically. It discharges condensate once formed, unless the heat from the condensate can be used. It is energy-efficient and does not waste quality steam. It removes impurities from the live steam, and maintains purity and efficiency throughout the system. Steam Trap Failure Causes Losses to Product Quality, Safety and Energy Loss Steam traps are necessary for the overall efficiency of heat energy transfer.

Find Air Leaks. Decrease Energy Consumption. Maximize Uptime. Compressed air is the most versatile and therefore widely used resource in industry. Using atmospheric pressure to transfer energy during industrial processes, compressed air can be found powering air tools like drills and hammers, hydraulic air cylinders for automation in manufacturing processes and much more. Compressed air is also used to power air brakes on mobile fleets and trains. Air Compressor Expenses It is so commonly found in industry it is often referred to as the fourth utility to electricity, water and gas. Of the four, compressed air consumes the most energy. Air compressor systems can differ very greatly in size, output and cost. What remains constant, is the initial investment in a compressor system is only 25% of the expenses associated with it, over its lifetime. The other 75% of the costs go to energy used to compress the air.
