Fluke ii900 Sonic industrial imager turns sound waves into real-time image

The equipment to identify leaks of compressed air, steam, gas and vacuum which is widespread among industrial plants, are expensive to produce, though they are used across all types of manufacturing and process plants. Generally, it requires purchasing or renting expensive sound cameras or hiring an outside consultant. The alternative to this is scan, point-by-point, listen for potential leaks, use a long-range sensor and get close, swap ultrasonic sensors, confirm it is a leak, and pinpoint the leak source. All these are extremely time consuming and also requires expert, trained, and experienced “ears” to listen and recognize 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.
