Offering Unique Leak Detection Solutions
For over 40 Years!
In the early 1950's the Superior Signal Company was originally contracted to manufacture military and ship distress signals for government agencies. These signals were usually colored smoke, and not suitable for civilian purposes. In 1954, the company developed a safe, non-staining smoke containing no explosive materials for civilian applications.
Many innovative applications for smoke were developed. Most significant was the Superior Smoke Testing Technique for inflow/infiltration studies of underground sewerage systems. Smoke testing has been used extensively for almost 50 years, and is recommended by the National Association of Sewer Service Contractors, and the Water Environment Federation.
These inexpensive smoke generators are also widely used for leak testing ductwork, furnaces, tanks and piping. They are highly effective for observing air flow patterns, evaluating fume/exhaust, and smoke control systems. Other applications include firefighter training, and motion picture special effects.
The Superior Signal Company, Inc. has continued to expand its operations by supporting current business, and creating new applications and markets for the product line.
In 1991, after many years of research and development the company introduced the AccuTrak model VPX Ultrasonic Leak Detector. The VPX was developed for heavy industry in plant maintenance applications including compressed gas leaks, vacuum leaks, detection of bearing wear and internal leaks through valves or steam traps. The AccuTrak model VPE was later developed specifically for the Air Conditioning & Refrigeration industry, and has quickly become the leading ultrasonic detector in the market.
