Airborne & Structure-borne ultrasound has become a must-have technology for any maintenance and reliability program. Once considered only a “leak detector”, more individuals have come to realize that Ultrasound can be used for more than compressed air or compressed gas leak detection. Because of advancements in ultrasound instrumentation and software, ultrasound can effectively be used on a variety of applications.
At the University of Tennessee’s Reliability and Maintainability Center’s Parade of Technologies event, the Ultrasound 101 session will provide the attendees with best practice information on what it takes to implement a successful ultrasound program. A program that focuses on the People, Processes, Tools, and Metrics associated with an effective Ultrasound program.
Information will also be presented on how to find compressed air and gas leaks, how to use ultrasound to detect corona, tracking, and arcing from energized electrical equipment, best practice information for implementing an effective bearing condition monitoring program using ultrasound, ultrasound assisted bearing lubrication, steam trap inspection and reporting, and valve testing using ultrasound. For each application, application specific reports will be shown to demonstrate what an ultrasound user can do with the data that is collected. After the presentation, the opportunity for hands-on learning with ultrasound instruments will be available in the PdM Technology Lab. Hands-on learning will be available for compressed air leak detection, electrical inspection, and bearing testing.
UE Systems is excited to be back at this year’s event. With the ability to learn about the technology, and then demonstrate the knowledge with the hands-on demonstrations, the Parade of Technologies will be an event that attendees will depart with a better appreciation for not only ultrasound, but all of the other technologies represented. If you’ve ever wished that you wanted to learn more about ultrasound and other PdM technologies, this is the event you’ve been waiting for.
