Leaks can be difficult to locate, and it is possible to waste valuable hours trying to find a leak using the tried-and-tested soap bubble method of detection. Ultrasonic testing offers a faster, more reliable method for detecting leaks.
The report that NECI generates identifies leaks and provides a leak cost summary that offers a conservative estimate of capturable costs for each identified leak. The report also provides photos of the locations with leaks, and an assessment of the criticality of the leak.
Leaks can be found in many areas, including:
- Gas lines
- Compressed air lines
- Steam traps
- Control valves
Ultrasonic testing can also be used to:
- Identify bearing lubrication issues
- Identify bearing damage
