HIKmicro AI56L Acoustic Camera for Gas Leak Detection

Any gas escaping from a pressurized system through small cracks or openings generates ultrasound (inaudible to the human ear). The HIKmicro AI56L acoustic camera detects audible noises and ultrasound, processes it, and displays the location and intensity.

By graphically overlaying noise (intensity) onto the video camera image, the location of the leak can be easily identified. With a press of a button, the measurement results and the image of the inspected area can be stored, making it almost a "child's play" to document and record detected deficiencies (leaks). The instrument also transforms ultrasound into the audible frequency range. The intensity of the noise heard is stronger the closer we are to the leak. The high sensitivity of the microphones built into the HIKmicro AI56L acoustic camera ensures that gas and steam leaks can be detected from great distances.
