Other Applications
Air Leaks!
Other applications include the detection of bearing wear, leaks in ductwork, leaking steam traps & valves, vacuum leaks, & electrical arcing.

Contact applications; Hear sounds!
The precision probe on the model VPE offers our patent pending acoustic design. While the VPE-1000 uses a dedicated digitally controlled contact sensor for optimum sound clarity.
Valves & Traps!

Steam traps and valves have a limited life, they will fail eventually, and can be costly when they do. AccuTrak lets you hear the ultrasonic sound created by turbulence inside the body of a valve or steam trap. When in the closed position a bad valve seat will scream for attention if it is leaking. Use AccuTrak to test check valves, TXV’s, control valves... you name it!

Steam Traps generally fail either in the open or closed postion. Steam is expensive to produce. Leaking steam traps can waste thousands of dollars in live steam, and a trap stuck in the closed position will not remove damaging condensate. Identifying these problems early can mean significant cost savings.
DUCTWORK!

BEARINGS!
The surfaces of internal bearing components are constantly wearing down, with increased ultrasonic sound as they progressively get worse. AccuTrak lets you hear the sound created by the wear. The VPE-1000 allows you to take a digital reading of the intensity which is compared to previous levels recorded during other scheduled maintenance calls. An increased signal is the tell tale sign of wear, warning you that time is running out before a failure occurs.
