One recent example is a turbine at the MSU Power Plant.   By placing an ultrasonic sound emitter inside the turbine, we were able to find a hairline crack in the rupture disc.  This find saved a critical failure that could have been disastrous.

Ultrasonic inspections can be use to troubleshoot:

·         Air leaks and vacuum leaks

·         Steam trap malfunctions

·         Bearing condition monitoring and lubrication issues (too much or too little lubrication)

·         Electrical arcing and corona discharge

·         Pump cavitation

·         Boiler, heat exchanger, and condenser leaks

·         And more
