Locate and Eliminate Electrical Discharge Before It Causes Downtime or Safety Hazards

Ultrasound is a powerful tool for detecting critical defects in medium and high-voltage electrical systems, including arcing, tracking, partial discharge, and corona. SonaVu+® elevates this capability with long-distance detection, two-finger zoom, and enhanced image quality, enabling reliability professionals to safely pinpoint electrical failures from afar—even in outdoor environments.

Air, Gas, & Vacuum Leak Detection

Compressed air, gas, and vacuum leaks waste energy and increase operating costs. SonaVu+ quickly scans large areas to locate and visualize leaks, helping teams tag, prioritize, and repair; reducing emissions and supporting compliance efforts.

Electrical System Reliability

Electrical faults can develop long before they lead to equipment failure. SonaVu+ helps teams detect ultrasonic signatures associated with electrical defects, supporting condition-based inspections and earlier corrective action.

Mechanical Fault Detection

Bearing, steam trap, and valve defects generate ultrasonic signatures before visible damage occurs. SonaVu+ helps teams identify friction, impact, and turbulence-related anomalies earlier, supporting timely maintenance and longer asset life.

Finding & Fixing Leaks Cuts Costs & Boosts Reliability

Compressed air leaks are more than just a nuisance—they’re a costly waste of resources. Systems left unchecked for over a year can lose 35-40% of total air demand to leaks, driving up electricity use and shortening compressor lifespan. With energy costs making up 75% of total compressed air expenses, every leak drains your budget. Detecting and repairing leaks isn’t optional—it’s key to cutting waste, lowering costs, and improving efficiency.
