Frequently asked questions for acoustic imaging cameras and leak detection
What is an Acoustic Camera?
An acoustic camera is an ultrasonic imaging device for locating and characterizing sound sources, producing a thermographic-style display of sound. Acoustic imaging cameras are ideal for industrial inspections, especially applications like leak detection and partial discharge detection in which personnel need to survey noisy industrial facilities. An acoustic camera can discover sound sources that are difficult to identify, capture images with sound estimates, and even allow you to adjust frequency levels on your display.
How Does an Acoustic Camera Work?
Acoustic imaging cameras work by utilizing an array of tiny, super-sensitive microphones that generate a spectrum of decibel levels per frequency. An algorithm then calculates a sound image that is superimposed over a visual image. The sound image adapts to the frequency level selected – allowing you to hone in subtle sounds in busy environments, like a gas leak on a plant floor.
What is Ultrasonic Leak Detection? Acoustic Imaging vs. Ultrasonic Detection
Ultrasonic leak detection is the process of discovering leaks through either a handheld device that helps to determine leak location or a stationary detector. Acoustic imaging simplifies the process, allowing users to quickly find and measure leaks in noisy environments. An acoustic imaging camera like the Fluke ii910 will also simplify visualization, high-precision measurement, and analysis of leaks.
What is an acoustic imaging camera?
An acoustic imaging camera, also known as an acoustic camera, is a device that visualizes sound waves by converting them into images. This advanced technology allows users to see and analyze sound sources and patterns, especially in industrial settings. Fluke's acoustic imaging cameras utilize ultrasonic and acoustic leak detection to help identify issues such as compressed air leaks, gas leaks, and vacuum system problems. These cameras enable precise and efficient maintenance and inspection processes by providing a visual representation of sound.
What are acoustic cameras used for?
Acoustic cameras, including Fluke's high-quality range, are used for various applications in industrial environments. They are primarily employed for acoustic leak detection, helping to identify and locate leaks in compressed air, gas, and vacuum systems. These cameras are also effective in detecting partial discharge (PD) in electrical systems and spotting mechanical deterioration in machinery, such as conveyor systems. By visualizing sound, acoustic cameras enhance predictive maintenance and improve inspection efficiency. Additionally, they are valuable tools for ensuring the reliability and safety of industrial operations.
