Airborne and Structure Borne Ultrasound
Enhance equipment reliability with Acuren's airborne and structure-borne ultrasound services. Detect faults early, reduce downtime, and optimize maintenance strategies.
Ultrasound technology measures high-frequency sound energy emitted from bearings, valves, electrical systems, and other machinery to detect faults before they cause downtime. Specialized equipment captures these sounds, allowing analysts to pinpoint the source and assess the severity of the issue. Common applications for ultrasound include bearing inspections, measuring pump cavitation, detecting corona, and performing leak detection in air or vacuum services.
This technology is also frequently used for precision greasing, preventing overfilling of bearing housings or motors. The sound waves help users determine the exact amount of grease needed to properly lubricate bearings, reducing the risk of overflow and subsequent issues such as electrical faults or overheating.
