  1. Fluke ii900 Acoustic Imagers: LeakQ, PDQ, MecQ Overview

    On the right of the image a man wearing safety glasses holds the Fluke ii900 Acoustic Camera so the microphones and camera are facing away from him. He is using it to conduct an inspection. To the left, white and yellow text on a black background reads "An Introduction to the Fluke ii900 Acoustic Imager". Fluke’s range of ii900 Acoustic Imagers, including the original ii900 and the upgraded ii910, have been specifically designed to ensure they are easy to use. With a simple one-button touchscreen interface, as well as clear acoustic imaging, operating the Fluke ii900 and ii910 Ultrasonic Cameras does not require specialist training. Thereby, allowing you to pinpoint leaks, mechanical failings, or partial discharge quickly. To this end, both models feature quantification modes, LeakQ, PDQ (ii910 only), and MecQ (ii910 only), intended to streamline and simplify analysis and reporting. Continue reading →
  2. Familiarise Yourself with Fluke’s ii900 & ii910 Acoustic Imagers Using Fluke’s Virtual Demo

    On the right the Fluke ii900 is angled with the touchscreen display facing the viewer. The screen shows the location of a leak using a sound map overlaid onto a digital image. To the left, large black text reads "Can you Spot the Leaks? Try the Virtual Demo". Beneath this smaller black text reads "Fluke ii900 & Fluke ii910 Acoustic Imaging Cameras". A yellow box with the black text "Try the Demo" is placed under the smaller black text. All facilities managers working in industrial plants know how time-consuming, money-draining, and frustrating it can be to find compressed air leaks or electrical faults such as partial discharge. Fluke knows this too. That’s why they’ve developed two simple-to-use sonic imagers. The Fluke ii900 and ii910 Acoustic Cameras detect ultrasonic noise and convert it into a sound map that is overlaid onto a digital image. This allows you or any member of your team, regardless of experience, to locate leaks or pinpoint partial discharge precisely. The advantages of the Fluke ii900 & ii910 Acoustic Imagers lie in their ease of operation: specialist training is not required; laborious tracing becomes a thing of the past; and production does not have to be halted. As a result, you maximise efficiency, minimise downtime, and save money. Continue reading →
  3. 6 Things to Consider Before Buying an Acoustic Camera

    On the left is an image of a man holding the Teledyne FLIR Si124 Acoustic imager pointing it at a collection of electricity pylons. The plant is covered in snow. On the right of the image large, black text on a white background reads "6 Things to Consider Before Buying an Acoustic Camera". Acoustic imaging cameras, otherwise known as sonic or ultrasonic imagers, are popular amongst facilities managers, especially those working in industrial or high-voltage settings. They are extremely easy to use and highly effective at finding air/pressurised leaks and partial discharge/corona. Acoustic cameras detect audible and/or ultrasonic sound; convert it into a sound map; then superimpose this map onto a digital image of the inspection area, allowing you to pinpoint the source of the leak or electrical fault accurately, simply, and quickly. As sonic imaging is a relatively new preventative maintenance/inspection technology, it can be difficult to know what makes a good acoustic camera. Thankfully, Teledyne FLIR has outlined six things to look for when purchasing an ultrasonic imager. Continue reading →
