Ultrasonic maintenance can take many forms and can be applied to several types of equipment. Most frequently, ultrasonic technology will be used for compressed air leak detection, gas leak detection and vacuum leak detection. It can also be used for bearings and pumps.

With over three decades of expertise in industrial maintenance and reliability, ATS offers best-in-class solutions in advanced technologies, automation and systems — including the most advanced applications of predictive maintenance. All provide increased reliability, safety, and operational efficiency.

Processes that were previously completed manually — testing, documentation, prioritization, and maintenance ticketing — can now be completed automatically, with results from numerous testing points being constantly fed into a central data and analytics system. This results in increased maintenance efficiency and effectiveness.

Ultrasonic leak testing is extremely useful in support of predictive maintenance operations, since these often-tiny leaks are indicative of larger operational issues to come, including drops in efficiency as well as safety issues and whole-system shutdowns.

Ultrasonic leak detection remains a complex process, with results that require extensive expertise to interpret. In addition, effective integration of ultrasonic maintenance technology must be carefully considered and planned. Outsourcing these services can provide the technology and systems expertise needed to maximize your investment. ATS includes ultrasonic leak detection as part of our predictive maintenance services, which can also involve surge support, technical workforce solution and comprehensive maintenance solution.

When leaks occur in pressurized systems — such as compressed air or gas systems — the leak will emit a sound at a frequency above that which can be detected by the human ear. Ultrasonic leak detection uses advanced sound emission technology to identify and locate these leaks, which is accomplished by detecting the high-frequency vibration that occurs in the air or the medium at the source of the leak.
