Simple detection of even the smallest leaks

Compressed air is one of the most expensive types of energy. However, 30 to 40 % of the consumption is often lost to leaks. Using the SL3000 you can detect such leaks in an extremely easy way, and thus immediately save energy with every leak that has been eliminated. Even pressurized gas lines can be quickly examined for leaks using ultrasound.

Moreover, the SL3000 effectively solves numerous tasks related to preventive maintenance. Without having to interrupt the ongoing operation, you can regularly test system parts and rotating machines for signs of wear using ultrasound, which allows you to detect potential damage at an early stage.

With the SL3000, measuring neither requires much time nor extensive training. By means of high-performance sound transducer technology and stereo headphones, ultrasonic signals are rendered audible and are at the same time displayed both numerically and indicatively.

The robust measuring device was specifically designed for continuous use in rough industrial surroundings while being compact enough to easily fit into every pocket.

Depending on your needs, the SL3000 can be complemented with various airborne and structure-borne sound probes, which can be plugged onto the device in just one simple step.

Structure-borne sound probes for machine diagnosis and fitting testing

The long structure-borne sound probe with stainless steel tip (4) available as an accessory can be directly placed on the test object and enables fast inspections in order to prevent damage on rotating machine components without disturbing the ongoing operation. If testing is performed regularly, changes in sounds can give valuable hints as to signs of wear in ball, roller or slide bearings, for instance. It is also possible to check centrifugal pumps for cavitation, and steam traps for continuity and functioning. In addition, the short structure-borne sound probe (5), which serves as an electronic stethoscope, is particularly well suited for inspecting fittings, gate and globe valves.

Tightness tests with ultrasonic transmitters

Using the ultrasound measuring instrument SL3000, you can also check windows, doors and other parts of a building for tightness in a quick and easy way. An ultrasonic transmitter is positioned inside the closed room. Then, the outdoor area is inspected using an airborne sound probe. The ultrasound generated by the transmitter escapes at leaky spots and can be detected by the SL3000. This method can also be used for inexpensive tightness testing in other pressureless systems such as cabins, heating cabinets, air conditioning units or tanks. Apart from the ultrasound measuring instrument SL3000, all you need is an additional ultrasonic transmitter such as Trotec's SL800T.
