High Voltage and Industrial

All facilities managers working in industrial plants know how time-consuming, money-draining, and frustrating it can be to find compressed air leaks or electrical faults such as partial discharge. Fluke knows this too. That’s why they’ve developed two simple-to-use sonic imagers. The Fluke ii900 and ii910 Acoustic Cameras detect ultrasonic noise and convert it into a sound map that is overlaid onto a digital image. This allows you or any member of your team, regardless of experience, to locate leaks or pinpoint partial discharge precisely. The advantages of the Fluke ii900 & ii910 Acoustic Imagers lie in their ease of operation: specialist training is not required; laborious tracing becomes a thing of the past; and production does not have to be halted. As a result, you maximise efficiency, minimise downtime, and save money. Continue reading →

Founded in 1844 on the principles of precision, reliability, and quality, Kern is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-accuracy balances/scales, microscopes, and moisture analysers. Kern’s comprehensive catalogue of equipment provides educational facilities, scientific laboratories, industrial companies, and utility suppliers with complete solutions. As evidenced recently when a German wastewater plant invested in a Kern microscope to monitor the efficacy of water treatment and a Kern moisture analyser to reduce wastage. Continue reading →

Acoustic imaging cameras, otherwise known as sonic or ultrasonic imagers, are popular amongst facilities managers, especially those working in industrial or high-voltage settings. They are extremely easy to use and highly effective at finding air/pressurised leaks and partial discharge/corona. Acoustic cameras detect audible and/or ultrasonic sound; convert it into a sound map; then superimpose this map onto a digital image of the inspection area, allowing you to pinpoint the source of the leak or electrical fault accurately, simply, and quickly. As sonic imaging is a relatively new preventative maintenance/inspection technology, it can be difficult to know what makes a good acoustic camera. Thankfully, Teledyne FLIR has outlined six things to look for when purchasing an ultrasonic imager. Continue reading →

Mediclinic Group is an international hospital group with facilities in South Africa, Namibia, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates. Committed to ensuring patient safety as well as meeting sustainability targets, Mediclinic Group turned to Fluke’s ii900 Industrial Acoustic Imager in an effort to locate costly, wasteful, and potentially hazardous gas leaks quickly and easily.[1]   Continue reading →

Tyre manufacturers use nitrogen, steam, and compressed air throughout their processes to create high-quality tyres that meet regulations. Leaks in equipment, which may result from the extreme temperatures needed throughout manufacturing, cause drops in pressure and prevent tyres from forming in a way that is compliant with the relevant standards. In addition to production losses, recycling the faulty tyre is a drain on revenue.[1] Furthermore, the US Department of Energy has found that a single 1/8” (3mm) leak in a compressed air line can cost companies upwards of $2500 (approximately £2110) a year. They also estimate that the average poorly maintained US plant wastes up to 20% of its total compressed air production capacity through leaks; while New Zealand’s government believes system leaks account for 30-50% of a compressed air system's capacity.[2] To tackle expensive leaks, reduce waste, and ensure the consistent construction of superior-quality, standard-compliant tyres, an innovative plant is using Fluke’s ii900 Acoustic Industrial Imager to find leaks quickly, easily, safely, and economically.
