The Ultraprobe® 2000 ultrasonic detection system has been given an ATEX rating for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.   Used throughout the world for leak detection, mechanical and electrical inspection programs, this popular instrument is designed for ease of use as well as fast and accurate diagnosis.  Highly regarded for its ability to dramatically reduce unplanned down time, the Ultraprobe 2000 can now be used to identify costly problems in hazardous environments without fear of instrument safety concerns.

The Ultraprobe 2000 is a portable, handheld, battery operated instrument. It detects ultrasonic signals such as those generated by steam traps, valves, bearings, gears, pressure leaks, vacuum leaks and electrical emissions (arcing, tracking, corona). Among its useful operational features, this pistol shaped device features frequency tuning for enhanced signal detection and interchangeable modules that provide ease of sensing airborne and structure borne ultrasounds.

"We are very excited to receive the ATEX rating," said Mark Goodman, VP of Engineering for UE Systems, Inc of Elmsford, NY. "This is something our customers in the petrochemical and HAZMAT transport industries have been requesting.  They can now perform their ultrasound leak and mechanical inspections in restricted areas."
