The Fluke SB140 Ultrasonic Sound Beacon is designed with tightness applications in mind and to work in conjunction with Fluke acoustic imagers. The chosen ultrasound frequency of 40 kHz is excellent at traveling through the air with low attenuation.
This means the sound inside a closed space can effectively find its way out of a leak path and to the Fluke camera for visualization. Fluke acoustic imagers easily detect the ultrasound frequency of the SB140 Sound Beacon, so the potential leak point is pinpointed visually on the screen.
Using the Fluke acoustic imager in “Beacon Mode” is even more straightforward because the camera frequency filter is fixed and centered on 40 kHz.
Optimize Your Leak Detection Process with the Fluke SB140 Sound Beacon
Ensure the integrity of your non-pressurized vessels with the Fluke SB140 Sound Beacon. This innovative method transforms leak detection and tightness testing by placing the SB140 Sound Beacon inside the vessel
Then using Fluke Acoustic Imagers from the outside to visually locate escaping ultrasound through weld beads, gaskets, seals, hatches, or windows. It is ideal for quality control in aviation, automotive, railroads, clean rooms, and more.
The Fluke SB140 Sound Beacon is specifically designed for tightness applications and works seamlessly with Fluke acoustic imagers. The selected ultrasound frequency travels long distances through air with minimal signal attenuation, allowing the sound inside a vessel to effectively escape through any openings and be visualized by the Fluke camera.
The ultrasound frequency of the SB140 Sound Beacon is also easily detected by Fluke acoustic imagers, enabling precise visual pinpointing of potential leak points. Using the Fluke acoustic imager in “Beacon Mode” simplifies the process even further.
