Ultrasonic Leak Detection and Acoustic Monitoring

Compressed air, steam and gas leaks quietly waste energy and money on almost every African industrial site. This practical programme trains technicians to use ultrasonic instruments to find leaks, check steam traps and detect early bearing and electrical faults by sound. Delegates learn to turn survey findings into a costed repair list that management will act on.
