Ultrasound World IV (2008)

Ultrasound World IV Program Abstracts
Ultrasound World IV was an incredible learning experience for all. Here is a selected sampling of Presentations that were offered throughout the conference. 

Abstract: Ultrasonic testing has been around for many years throughout different disciplines and industries. With its unique ability to detect high frequency emissions well above the human range of hearing, it has allowed many to benchmark and identify problematic areas in many venues. Although no one system typically works without the other in most commercial and industrial facilities, there is a common component that is universally present and loss of it would result in EVERY system in a facility to cease. Electricity!

Without it, nothing works generally speaking. Despite beliefs that "there are no moving parts" in electrical systems, there are movements that occur 60 times every second! This creates "stresses" on components and can cause deterioration of conductors and insulators on low, medium, and high voltage items. 

We will take a look at a few examples of where this technology has identified deficiencies in systems and prevented loss of electrical supply, as well as the necessary training to identify characteristic "footprints" of these deficiencies through spectral analysis.
