Type: article
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to describe the use of the Ultra-Trak 750 sensor for ultrasonic fault detection in industrial machinery and facilities. It presents the sensor’s operating characteristics, applications, and limitations. Additionally, the methodology for manufacturing an ultrasonic detector using the Ultra-Trak 750 sensor is also presented, useful for predictive and corrective maintenance. The detector measures the intensity of captured ultrasonic signals in decibels (dB) and converts these signals into audible flow noise that can be heard through headphones. The paper explains how faults in industrial components are detected and identified by measuring the ultrasonic intensity generated during operation. The highest dB readings occur at the fault location, allowing for precise fault identification
