  • Use the instrument for troubleshooting pumps, worn shafts, and bearings.
  • Check engine valves while the motor is running, exhaust valves, gears and hydraulic systems.
  • Check for leaks in ductwork, electrical arcing and vacuum leaks.
  • Catch trouble at an early stage, before it becomes a real problem. Schedule maintenance at your convenience. No longer will everything be an emergency!
  • What is "ultrasonic listening?"

    Ultrasonic listening instruments detect the ultrasonic sound of a leak or noise within almost any piece of heating or cooling equipment.

    You are probably familiar with the hissing sound a large leak makes. Smaller leaks also emit sound, however the frequency is too high for our years to detect it. By a process called heterodyning, the Ultrasonic Listening VPE translates the ultrasonic hissing sound to a lower frequency where it can be heard through headphones, and leads you to the source.

    As you get closer, the sound gets louder and/or the LED meter increases. Decrease the sensitivity as you close in on the leak to easily pinpoint its location. Some leaks can be heard from several feet away, therefore direct access to the leak is not always necessary. As long as the leak is turbulent, there will be enough sound to be detected ultrasonically.

    Ultrasonic listening instruments can detect pinhole leaks with as low as 1 psi. However, the more pressure behind the leak, the more turbulence there will be, and the easier it will be to locate.

    They work great for steam trap testing

    Once you can "hear" the inside of a steam trap working, you??ll understand. When a steam trap has failed open, you??ll hear the turbulent sound of steam rushing through the trap orifice. If the trap has failed closed, you won??t hear much of anything.

    Before testing steam traps listen to the audio tape, "The sounds Steam Traps Make." Provided free with you order, you??ll be a steam trap testing pro in no time!
