The new model also complies with the IEC 61326-1 standard that designates its ability to operate in typical electromagnetic environments often found in industrial plants.
According to Exair, up to 30% of the compressed air generated in industrial plants is wasted through leaks that go undetected. The Exair ULD can help identify and pinpoint costly leaks, allowing quick repair and cost savings. Testing the various unions, pipes, valves and fittings of an installation can be done at distances up to 20' (6.1m) away.
High pressure gases create high frequency turbulence when moving into an area with lower pressure, creating an ultrasonic or white noise sound that is said to be beyond the range of human hearing. The ULD can detect these vibrations, creating an audible sound through supplied headphones as well as indicating intensity via front-facing LED display as it moves closer to the leak origin. The ULD can be adjusted to filter out background noise in busier plants with “+” or “-“ buttons for fine-tuning sensitivity.
The Model 9207 Ultrasonic Leak Detector is CE compliant and comes complete with a hard-shell plastic case, headphones, parabola, tubular adaptor, tubular extension and AA batteries.
