Webinar Description:

In the past decade, the utilization of both airborne and structure-borne ultrasound technology has seen a remarkable surge. This surge is primarily attributed to significant advancements in ultrasound instrumentation, software, reporting systems, and the advent of remote monitoring capabilities. Ultrasound has emerged as an exceptionally versatile tool for condition monitoring, finding application across a spectrum of areas, including energy conservation, electrical inspection, and equipment reliability. Its versatility positions ultrasound as a valuable addition to any maintenance and reliability program, capable of enhancing equipment reliability, mitigating downtime, curbing energy wastage, and seamlessly complementing other technologies like vibration analysis and infrared thermography.

Learning Takeaways:

•            Best practice information for using ultrasound to improve equipment reliability by detecting early-stage bearing failures, establishing ultrasound routes for data collection, setting baselines and alarm levels, as well as, using ultrasound to prevent lubrication-related bearing failures

•            Compressed air leak detection & cost savings reports that quantify the cost of compressed air leaks.

•            Steam trap inspection & reporting that show energy loss from failed or leaking steam traps.

•            Electrical inspection with ultrasound & how to diagnose electrical faults like corona, tracking, and arcing.
