Ultrasonic detector for locating leak and mechanical malfunction
SONAPHONE K
SONOTEC Ultraschallsensorik Halle GmbH
The SONAPHONE K enables the testing of the proper functionality of steam traps and also allows an estimate of any losses of steam within the system. The testing of steam traps occurs via the monitoring of the ultrasonic signal levels emitted from the valve. Defective steam traps emit a quite different signal to intact traps. The ultrasonic oscillations emitted at leaky steam traps are recorded and their intensity is displayed digitally. An additional temperature measurement of the surface temperature of the valve increases the reliability of the readings of the device.
The rapid testing intervals enable an assessment of the condition of the steam trap within a few seconds. Due to the large variety of types of steam traps and the specific conditions associated with individual systems and pieces of machinery, the assessment of measurement values is dependent on the decision criteria and/or ultrasound levels determined by the tester.
