Ultrasound is an
essential tool for any condition monitoring program, offering
unmatched capabilities in leak detection, bearing lubrication assessment, and early identification of mechanical and electrical issues. Compact, versatile, and easy to use, ultrasound instruments provide
real-time insights that help prevent failures, reduce downtime, and optimize asset performance.
This book explores the
wide-ranging applications of ultrasound technology across multiple industrial sectors, demonstrating how it can
maximize energy efficiency and
increase equipment availability in plants. Far beyond simple mechanical fault detection, ultrasound extends condition monitoring to detect:
- Bearing wear and lubrication deficiencies
- Compressed air, vacuum, and steam leaks
- Electrical issues such as arcing, tracking, and corona emissions
- Friction, turbulence, and ionization in mechanical systems
Learn how portable ultrasound devices can be used to
monitor and analyze machinery, including gears, motors, pumps, and valves, while also providing
energy savings analysis and
inspection strategies.
Whether you are a reliability engineer, maintenance professional, or plant manager, this guide equips you with
practical techniques, real-world examples, and actionable insights to make ultrasound an integral part of your
proactive maintenance program.
