Universal Ultrasound Sensors – UltraTrak 850S

Why Use Ultrasound for Steam Traps & Valves?

When valves or steam traps leak or fail, it can be extremely costly in terms of product quality, safety, and energy loss. Issues such as safety, manufacturing efficiency, preservation of condensate return lines, and cost reduction can be greatly compromised if left ignored which will lead to problems such as:

• Water hammer can cause serious damage to your equipment and people
• Incorrect and dangerous temperatures
• Water in pipes will cause rusting
• Partial leaking traps wasting energy consumption that costs in excess of $10,000 per year

What Are the Advantages of Using the UltraTrak 850S Ultrasound Sensor?

Ultrasound is the most versatile and easiest technology to implement for predictive maintenance. When it comes to applications, it is an easy technology to understand. As we are being driven toward “putting sensors on everything,” it is important that we are not only pulling frequent, up-to-date data from these sensors but that we can also understand what this data means. If we can understand what the data means, then we know what our next steps should be to prevent a potential failure.

Some of the primary benefits of the UltraTrak 850s Ultrasound Sensor are:

Installation with Ease – The sensor comes with a simple, three (3) wire installation and a removable cable attachment for seamless placement

Leverage your Existing System – Easily connects to your existing PLC, SCADA, DCS, or other plant technology and can be achieved with little technical intervention

No Adjustments – The sensor comes with a patented auto-sensitivity adjustment feature, removing manual adjustment tasks associated with other sensors

Time to Value – Using a trend table time series value, understanding the condition of your assets, and setting alerts is a quick and easy way to start gaining immediate value

Unrivaled Measurement Range – With a full measurement range of 0-100dB, the sensor is built to support most steam traps and valve leak applications

Why Invest in the UltraTrak 850S Ultrasound Sensor?

The UltraTrak 850S Ultrasound Sensor gives maintenance and reliability teams an easy way to incorporate the power of ultrasound into their existing monitoring technology. The sensors can be installed and connected within 10 minutes and begin trending real-time data immediately. With the amount of time that is usually spent trying to manually locate leaks or issues, shutting down your area, and repairing your systems, it won’t take long for you to begin gaining immediate value with this sensor.
