Fluke’s new detection device, the ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager, uses sound to locate leaks in compressed air systems, gas lines and vacuum systems.

ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager Fluke’s new detection device uses sound to locate leaks in compressed air systems, gas lines and vacuum systems. The device features an array of microphones; it determines the direction from which the sound of a leak originates by comparing when each microphone picks up the sound. The ii900 isolates the frequency of leaks, making it possible to find leaks in extremely noisy production environments; it also can scan a large area and pinpoint leaks from a distance. Leaks are displayed on the device’s screen as a color overlay on an image of the area, allowing users to easily locate the problem.

What’s new? The ii900.

Benefits Simplified, faster troubleshooting. Using the ii900 requires minimal training, so workers can quickly and easily identify leaks. Eliminating leaks in compressed air systems saves energy and ensures that equipment is receiving the proper air pressure. The detector also can be used to quickly validate repairs.
