Industrial imager pinpoints compressed air leaks

Published:  08 May, 2019

Compressed air systems can lose a significant amount of air through leakage. FLUKE says its new ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager enables maintenance teams to quickly, and visually, pinpoint the location of compressed air, gas, and vacuum system leaks even during peak production periods and leaks can be detected in a matter of minutes.

The company says with minimal training, technicians can identify compressed air leaks considerably faster than using traditional diagnostic methods and now checking for air leaks can be performed during the typical maintenance routine.

Featuring an array of microphones combined with the new SoundSight technology, the handheld Fluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager filters out background noise so maintenance teams can accurately locate leaks in compressed air systems, even in the noisiest environments.
