Ultrasound Investigations

Acuity Engineers, Inc. is a consulting firm performing Ultrasound Investigations for owners, tenants, buyers, and plant managers. Acuity Ultrasonic Inspections aid you in making informed and economical decisions regarding safety and production issues.

Various common plant applications are: leak detection in pressure and vacuum systems (i.e., boilers, heat exchanges, condensers, chillers, distillation columns, vacuum furnaces, specialty gas systems), bearing inspections, steam trap inspection, valve blow-by, pump cavitations, detection of corona in switch gear, compressor valve analysis, as well as integrity of seals, and gaskets in tanks, pipe systems and large walk-in boxes.

A Mechanical Ultrasound Assessment is a reliable method for detecting incipient bearing failure. An Acuity Electrical Ultrasound Assessment will point out serious, and potentially life threatening issues, such as:

  • Arcing: An arc occurs when electricity flows through space (i.e. lighting)
  • Corona: When voltage on an electrical conductor such as an antenna or high voltage transmission line exceeds threshold value, the air around it begins to ionize to form a blue or purple glow.
  • Tracking: Often referred to as “Baby Arcing”. Typically follows the path of damaged insulation.

Ultrasound investigations can save your business thousands of dollars in product and energy costs, and are part of a complete package of assessments that make Preventive/Predictive Maintenance necessary in today’s demanding economic times.

Acuity is a leader in the field of Building Diagnostics and provides additional services such as Moisture Surveys, Indoor Air Quality Surveys, Microbial Assessments, Infrared Assessments, and Ultrasound Assessments.
