Fluke ii900 Acoustic Industrial Imager

The Fluke ii900 Sonic Acoustic Industrial Imager is Fluke’s first ultrasound camera. It can be used to detect leaks in compressed air, gas, steam and vacuum systems. 

Pass Presents the Fluke ii900 Acoustic Imager

This air leak detection camera utilises sound to locate faults and is able to isolate the sound frequencies caused by leaks and vacuums. The Fluke ii900 Acoustic Imager can determine the direction of the problem by timing the delays that the sound causes as it passes over its array of microphones. This builds up a SoundMap™ which the Fluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager displays in colour over a visual image, enabling greater clarity, and thereby facilitating easy location of detected leaks. Images are indicated on the Fluke ii900 Sonic Imager's 7" LCD, touchscreen display. 

The Fluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager’s SoundSight™ technology and intuitive, simple-to-use interface makes it easy to identify and isolate leak and vacuum frequencies, as well as filter out background noise. The Fluke ii900 Acoustic Imager has a frequency range of 2 kHz to 52 kHz. It is also equipped with a multitude of microphones facilitating the scanning of large areas. As a result, maintenance technicians are able to detect gas and vacuum leaks from a greater distance (up to 164 feet/ 50m), improving user safety as well as inspection efficiency: it is possible to inspect an entire plant in a matter of hours.

This intuitive camera may be operated with minimal training and can be integrated into typical maintenance routines. The Fluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager is suitable for predictive maintenance applications carried out during peak operating times. It improves the efficiency and ease of detecting and locating gas leaks, as well as inspecting fittings, couplings, valves, flanges, shut off valves, connections to pneumatic tools, small branches, bushings, storage tanks, and hoses and hose reels.

The detection and imaging capabilities of the Fluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager reduces plant downtime and associated maintenance costs as repairs can be affected more quickly and earlier. Additionally, early detection and repair of leaks delay the need for an additional air compressor, again, reducing costs.

Furthermore, using the Fluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager to ensure proper air pressure in pneumatic equipment improves production line reliability and can reduce energy costs.

The Fluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager has an extensive scope-for-use and can be used within the following manufacturing and processing sectors:

• Aerospace
• Automotive
• Glass
• Machinery, instrumentation and appliances
• Plastic and rubber
• Mining and mineral processing
• Cement
• Chemical processing
• Food and beverage
• Pulp, paper and wood

The Fluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager is an economical, easy-to-use and effective diagnostic tool, suitable for leak detection applications in a variety of industry sectors.

LeakQ Mode

The Fluke ii900 Acoustic Imager is supplied with LeakQ mode pre-enabled. This function quantifies both the distance to and the size/rate of the leak. Text notes, photo notes, and/or tags may be added to images taken in LeakQ mode. Additionally, LeakQ images can be uploaded to Fluke’s reporting tool to determine an estimated cost of the leak, i.e., the expense accrued due to the rate of wasted resources. As a result, you can quickly see which leaks are the most pressing, prioritising repairs based on which leaks are costing the most.
