Tips for performing an air leak survey.

All too often, an organization will purchase an ultrasonic detector with the good intention of establishing an active leakage detection and reapair program. Unfortunately many ever achieve any notable degree of success. The success of an air leak detection program is based on 3 key elements...
Advanced Leak Detection Technology

We use only the most advanced, most effective ultrasonic technology available. While older "heterodyne" type ultrasonic detectors work well for other applications (steam traps, bearings), we have found it to be very limiting for leak detection. Our research and testing has shown "DND" to be the fastest and most effective means of finding air leaks. This means the leak survey gets done faster, and more leaks are found.
Quality of Documentation
Not only should you be concerned with overall leakage in your plant, keep records of what areas/machines have the most leaks, and more importantly which areas have the highest degree of leakage. There might be trends in particular parts which leak more than others allowing you to make intellegent decisions on replacements. This information is extremely valuable as it not only allows you to eliminate present leakage, but quite possibly FUTURE leaks as well!
Repair Procedures
Nothing is gained by an air leak detection program if repairs are not made in a timely manner. A good report allows maintenance to use resources wisely, taking a strategic approach to fixing the leaks, and completing the task quickly. You may find that 20% of your leaks are responsible for 80% of your leakage! This is particularly valuable should the survey discover a large number of leaks leaks or more. How else would you handle such a task?
