The ultrasound <\/strong>service consists of asset inspection and diagnosis through the detection of ultrasonic signals, both airborne <\/strong>and contact-based<\/strong>, in order to identify anomalies that are usually neither audible nor visible in their early stages.<\/p>

In predictive maintenance, it is especially useful for locating leaks<\/strong>, assessing the condition of bearings and gears<\/strong>, checking valves and steam traps<\/strong>, and detecting certain electrical defects<\/strong> before they evolve into functional failure.<\/p>

ISO 29821:2018 provides guidelines for the ultrasonic examination of machines, data interpretation, and severity assessment criteria.<\/p>

The service is delivered through inspection routes, spot measurements, and comparative trend analysis. It may include: contact listening and measurement on bearings, airborne inspection of air\/gas\/vacuum leaks, inspection of steam traps and valves, checks on electrical panels and equipment, condition-based lubrication adjustment, and issuance of a report including criticality, recommendations, and intervention priorities. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u2705 Detect incipient faults in bearings, gears, and friction elements before they generate high vibration, abnormal temperature, or downtime.<\/p>

\u2705 Identify and quantify compressed air, gas, or vacuum leaks that penalize energy consumption and process stability.<\/p>

\u2705 Verify the operation of steam traps, valves, and drains to reduce energy losses and operating problems.<\/p>

\u2705 Optimize condition-based greasing, avoiding both insufficient lubrication and over-lubrication.<\/p>

\u2705 Improve safety and operational continuity through inspections without disassembly and, in many cases, without stopping production.<\/p>

\u2705 Prioritize maintenance actions based on trend data, asset criticality, and operational risk.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
