SKF introduces ultrasonic leak detector

SKF has released an ultrasonic leak detector to allow maintenance engineers to pinpoint gas leaks in industrial applications.

The TMSU 1 uses an integrated piezoelectric crystal sensor tuned to recognise the high frequency sounds that are generated by turbulence from high pressure gas leaking into a low pressure environment.

The sensor guides the operator to the loudest signal point, enabling the exact position of each leak to be easily identified.

The TMSU 1 is lightweight and compact with a sensor mounted on a flexible tube, making it suitable for use in restricted areas.

It can withstand temperatures from -10C to 50C, making it suitable for a variety of industrial environments.

The TMSU 1 ultrasonic detector is supplied in a sturdy carrying case with a headset, rubber nozzle and batteries that offer a typical life of 20 hours, making it possible to carry out multiple checks without recharging.

The Peltor headset supplied with the device provides high quality sound for accurate readings in noisy environments and also acts as an ear defender.

The TMSU 1 is suitable for applications incorporating compressed air, pneumatic brakes, vacuums, pressurised gas storage or steam traps.
