Sonic industrial imager turns sound waves into real-time image

Identifying leaks of compressed air, steam, gas and vacuum, is a tedious job. Generally, it requires purchasing or renting an expensive sound cameras or hiring an outside consultant. The alternative is to scan point-by-point, listening for potential leaks, using a long-range sensor and get close, swap ultrasonic sensors, confirm the leak, pinpoint leak source. All these are extremely time consuming and also requires expert, trained, and experienced “ears” to listen and recognise the leak sound pattern.
The new Fluke® ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager enables maintenance teams to quickly and accurately locate air, steam, gas and vacuum leaks in compressed air systems. The straightforward, intuitive interface allows technicians to isolate the sound frequency of the leak to filter out background noise. In a matter of hours, the team can inspect the entire plant – during peak operations.

Using SoundSight™ technology, this industrial imager offers a new way to locate issues using sound. Leak identification is simple, a SoundMap™ is displayed in color over a visual image of the equipment allowing for fast visual location. With the visual image, it is easy to scan a large area quickly and even possible identify leaks from a distance.
