The UL101
CBM Kit
The CTRL UL101 CBM Kit converts ultrasound signals produced by industrial machinery and vehicles into easily recognizable audible sounds so the user can evaluate the condition of individual components, even in extremely noisy plant environments. The CTRL UL101 is used worldwide for predictive maintenance, quality control, and for leak detection.
The Benefits
Ease-of-Use
Sensitivity
Directionality
Costs
Ease-of-Use
Simply adjust the sensitivity on the UL101 Leak Detector’s handheld receiver to pinpoint the leak; scan areas from up to 300 feet away with the PowerBeam 300 parabolic accessory.
Sensitivity
Our UL101 Leak Detectors can find leaks faster and more accurately. Your systems can now run at normal and even improved vacuum levels to improve power turbine efficiency.
Directionality
Ultrasound travels in linear paths and doesn’t tend to travel around corners or reflect. Using CTRL’s acoustic ultrasound listening products, leaks are not easily masked.
Costs
The cost of a high end ultrasound detector is 3 to 5 times less than the cost of a helium leak detection system. CTRL’s UL101 products are priced competitively compared to industry leaders, require less training, and are faster to use.
Key Features
Fixed Frequency
High Sensitivity to all turbulent flow air, gas, or vacuum leaks
Easily adjustable sensitivity and gain
Lightweight, one-handed operation
Converts ultrasound to easily recognizable audible sounds
How It Works
Using ultrasound detectors for leak detection is a growing industry standard. Acoustic ultrasound leak detection is recommended by many, such as the U.S. Department of Energy, as the best method for detecting the location of leaks in order to minimize energy waste and improve plant efficiency.
The CTRL UL101 Leak Detector converts the ultrasound (40 kHz +/- 1 kHz) down into the audible range and outputs to a headset. All other frequencies are filtered, so that even the smallest air/gas, vacuum, or refrigerant leak can be detected and pinpointed in a noisy plant environment.
