Ultrasound condition monitoring inspection services

Ultrasound condition monitoring is a non-destructive predictive maintenance technique that detects early signs of mechanical wear, bearing faults, pressurized gas leaks and electrical faults (partial discharge) by capturing high-frequency sound waves. The method is widely used in industrial such as manufacturing, oil & gas, power generation and aerospace to enchance equipment reliability and reduce unplanned downtime.

How it works

​

1. Detection of high-frequency sound:

  • Machine and systems generate ultrasonic signals due to friction, impact, turbulence or electrical discharge.

​​

2. Conversion to audible Signals:

  • A handheld portable ultrasound device captures these high-frequency sounds and converts them into signals that can be analyzed.

​​

3. Diagnosis & trend Analysis:

  • Reliability Engineer listen to the converted sound or analyze digital waveforms to detect anomalies and predict potential failures. 

Key Application of Ultrasound condition monitoring

​

  1. Mechanical Equipment Monitoring

  • Bearing Condition Monitoring: Detect lubrication failure, early-stage wear, and bearing fatigue.

  • Gearbox & Motor Inspection: Identifies misalignment, gear tooth damage and excessive friction.

  • Pump & Valve Monitoring: Detects cavitation, flow restrictions and internal leaks

​​

   2. Leak Detection

  • Compressed Air & Gas Leaks: Identifies costly leaks in compressed air, steam and gas systems.

  • Vacuum System Inspection: finds vacuum leaks that impact system efficiency.

​​

   3. Electrical System Monitoring

  • Arcing, tracking and corona discharge: Detects insulation breakdown in high-voltage electrical systems.

  • Transformer & circuit Breaker Inspection: Prevents failures and electrical hazards.

Benefits of Ultrasound Condition Monitoring

​​​

  • Early Fault Detection: Helps prevent equipment failures and costly downtime.

  • Energy Efficiency: Reduces waste from air leaks and inefficient systems.

  • Extended Equipment Lifespan: Enables proactive maintenance, reducing premature wear.

  • Safety Improvements: Detects electrical hazards before they become dangerous.

  • Cost Savings: Lowers maintenance costs and operational disruptions.
