| Falcon Solutions provides leak
detection services and training.
Acoustic Leak Detectors are devices that are readily portable,
non-intrusive, and can provide almost immediate results. They
function quite successfully as stand alone diagnostic tools and can
be even more powerful when used with other technology, such as
Infrared.
Acoustics has been applied successfully in all industries to
determinate mechanical problems, pressure vessel integrity, internal
and external valve leaks, vacuum leaks, the onset of cavitation in
pumps and valves, the presence of flow (or no flow) in piping and
heat exchange equipment, and Corona Arcing of electrical
equipment.
Because of its broad frequency spectrum, acoustics is further
defined into two ranges, the sonic range and the ultrasonic range,
and their applications are as follows:
- Sonic Range – All frequencies used in mechanical vibration
analysis and low frequency leak detection (2Hz – 20KHz).
- Ultrasonic Range – Ultrasonic frequencies (20KHz – MHz) are
used in cavitation detection, acoustic emission (AE), high
frequency leak detection, vacuum leaks, corona and partial
discharge detection.
Both of these ranges make use of contact and non-contact sensors,
such as microphones, accelerometers, and high frequency resonant
transducers.
