Gas Leak Detection by Acoustic Leak Imaging (ALI Method)

DESCRIPTION / TECHNOLOGY

The ultrasound camera Ultra Pro pinpoints and quantifies leaks of any type of gas in a fast, safe and reliable manner. Thanks to its integrated 124 microphones, Ultra Pro can locate the sources of ultrasounds emitted by gas (and vacuum) leaks from up to 50 meters.
When a sound wave hits the surface of the device, it reaches each individual microphone at a different time. From these small-time differences, the device reconstructs the position of the source (i.e. the leak).
This acoustic information is overlaid in real-time with an optical image, allowing the operator to “see” the leak. Moreover, Ultra Pro displays the estimated leak rate (in L/h) so the user can prioritize the maintenance and repair of leaks.
