Peace of mind and reassurance for the operator Tightness Testing on Underground Storage Tanks and other Air Tight Compartments The ability to test for tightness with an ultrasound detector is extremely powerful and versatile. It is the only way to ensure that underground storage tanks are air tight. But that isn’t all that ultrasonic tightness testing can be used on. There are many things that need to be air tight. Like the engine or cabin of a car, large shipping containers or the bearing housing in a paper production plant. When somethings tightness integrity deteriorates one or two things can happen. Things can leak out, or things can get in. And whenever possible, it is advantageous to avoid either of these from happening. Fuel Leaking From Underground Storage Tanks Damage the Environment and Waste Valuable Resources Overtime the tightness integrity of underground storage tanks or other air tight compartments can deteriorate.

Safely Inspect Electrical Systems with Ultrasound Electrical failures pose a tremendous safety threat and have the ability to shut down operations entirely Industrial plants require a lot of power to operate, and much like the machinery required for production, their electrical systems can also fail. The Importance of Maintaining your Electrical Systems The implications of a total electrical system failure are far more severe than that of an ordinary mechanical failure. They have the potential to damage equipment, cut power flow and cause downtime for days, seriously injure or kill workers in the immediate vicinity and even impact the surrounding areas power grid. Faults in electrical systems can be detected at their earliest stages with regular ultrasound inspection and therefor prevented far before anything catastrophic happens.

Keep Your Steam Clean, Safe And Energy-Efficient Steam is an essential resource is many industrial processes. As a result most facilities have a vast network of piping, valves, flanges and steam traps. Within these systems there exists constant flow and turbulence. As pure steam travels from your boilers to their point of use, some cooling is inevitable. The result is accumulated condensate and gases. Steam traps purge this waste and keep your system pure. A fully-functional steam trap opens, closes or modulates automatically. It discharges condensate once formed, unless the heat from the condensate can be used. It is energy-efficient and does not waste quality steam. It removes impurities from the live steam, and maintains purity and efficiency throughout the system. Steam Trap Failure Causes Losses to Product Quality, Safety and Energy Loss Steam traps are necessary for the overall efficiency of heat energy transfer.

Find Air Leaks. Decrease Energy Consumption. Maximize Uptime. Compressed air is the most versatile and therefore widely used resource in industry. Using atmospheric pressure to transfer energy during industrial processes, compressed air can be found powering air tools like drills and hammers, hydraulic air cylinders for automation in manufacturing processes and much more. Compressed air is also used to power air brakes on mobile fleets and trains. Air Compressor Expenses It is so commonly found in industry it is often referred to as the fourth utility to electricity, water and gas. Of the four, compressed air consumes the most energy. Air compressor systems can differ very greatly in size, output and cost. What remains constant, is the initial investment in a compressor system is only 25% of the expenses associated with it, over its lifetime. The other 75% of the costs go to energy used to compress the air.

Non-rotating asset components seldom receive the routine surveillance they need Hydraulic systems represent another way industry converts electricity to mechanical energy. A pump, normally powered by an electric motor, moves hydraulic fluid through a system. The system is typically made up of a reservoir to hold the hydraulic fluid, high pressure lines to carry the fluid, control valves that ensure the fluid is sent where needed, relief valves for safety, and cylinders to produce mechanical energy. The pump and motor receive attention while the balance of the system is run-to-failure. Ultrasound testing could change this lackadaisical approach; especially considering its versatility, ease of use, and applicability to most hydraulic defects. External and Internal Leaks External leaks can often be found by visual inspection. Some external leaks, like a ruptured hose or fitting, are easy to spot. Simply follow the trail of spilled oil. Others are not so obvious.

LUBExpert is a solution engineered to help grease bearings right. Strategy driven with artificial intelligence gathered from greasing tens of thousands of bearings, LUBExpert is a condition-based solution that thinks with you and thinks for you.

Why we Lubricate Bearings For 4000 years we have been lubricating our machinery and rotating assets to increase their efficiency, reliability and lifespan. Proper bearing lubrication minimizes the surface contact of machinery, reducing undesired friction, excessive heat, metal-on-metal contact and wear and tear. Lubrication not only protects ball and roller-element bearings from themselves by reducing friction but also from corrosion and the elements. Grease is the lubrication of choice within the industry, as it is easy to apply and it provides the bearing housing with a protective seal from the elements. For a procedure proven reliable for the past 4 millennia, it is surprising to hear so many premature bearing failures are lubrication-related. Improper lube selection, amount, intervals as well as lubricant contamination and degradation are to blame.

SDT was the first to pioneer on ultrasound-based hatch cover weathertightness testing on board of ships back in the late 1980s. Together with MacGregor, Lloyds Register of Shipping and IMCS, SDT was able to put ultrasound testing of hatch covers on the world map and make it the preferred method for testing hatch covers by charterers, shippers, P&I insurers and stakeholders in the marine industry. Another first position for SDT is that further development of the tightness testing equipment resulted in SDT launching the world’s first Class type approved and bespoke SHERLOG product range in 2000. Ever since, the SDT SHERLOG equipment became a symbol of reliable and professional hatch cover testing. As no solution is complete without training, SDT & IMCS developed the first and only training course for ultrasound testing of hatch covers in line with the IACS UR Z17 criteria.

Poor greasing practices are a leading cause of bearing failure. Less than 40% of bearings will last long enough to deliver their engineered value and over or under lubrication is most often to blame. Many lube departments re-grease on a wasteful calendar-based schedule. This leads to over and under greased bearings that fail to deliver their engineered value. Grease reduces friction in bearings. Less friction means longer life. LUBExpert alerts you when friction levels increase, guides you during re-lubrication, and prevents over and under lubrication. LUBExpert is an ultrasound solution that helps you Grease Bearings Right. Use the right lubricant at the right location using the right intervals and the right quantities while receiving the right indication of a task well done including bearing status. The LUBExpert is a complete ultrasound solution to manage your acoustic lubrication program and ensure you GREASE BEARINGS RIGHT
