Identifying leaks of compressed air, steam, gas and vacuum. Widespread among industrial plants, expensive to produce, easy to leak, difficult to locate, used across all types of manufacturing and process plants. Generally, requires purchasing or rental of an expensive sound cameras or hiring an outside consultant. The alternative is scan point-by-point, listening for potential leaks, using a long-range sensor and get close, swap ultrasonic sensors, confirm it is a leak, pinpoint leak source, which is extremely time consuming and also requires expert, trained, experienced “ears” to listening to and recognising the leak sound pattern.

The new Fluke^® ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager enables maintenance teams to quickly and accurately locate air, steam, gas and vacuum leaks in compressed air systems. The straightforward, intuitive interface allows technicians to isolate the sound frequency of the leak to filter out background noise. In a matter of hours, the team can inspect the entire plant – during peak operations.

Using SoundSight™ technology, this industrial imager offers a new way to locate issues using sound. Leak identification is simple, a SoundMap™ is displayed in color over a visual image of the equipment allowing for fast visual location. With the visual image, it is easy to scan a large area quickly and even possible identify leaks from a distance.

The ii900 comes complete with Imager; AC power supply and battery pack charger (including universal AC adapters); two rugged lithium ion smart battery packs; USB cable; rugged, hard carrying case; two rubber array covers; adjustable hand strap and adjustable neck strap. SF6 gas detection training tools, including a step-by-step instructional video, are also available on the company website.
