| Get the NEW SDT Compressed Air Leak Calculator 2.0 | ||||
Allan Rienstra, Editor |
For more than a year now hundreds, even
thousands of companies and individuals have downloaded our FREE
compressed air leak calculator. This tool helps analyze the benefits of
a compressed air leak detection and management program by estimating the
rough cost of leaks based on their measured decibel level. It is a good
tool when used with the understanding that the formulae were devised in
a laboratory, while the leaks you find are "real world". Anyone wishing
to discuss this in detail can drop me an
email, or call me.
Our first cost calculator released more than one year ago was built in an Excel interface that was both confusing and cumbersome to work with. Also, it wasn't very pretty. Get Version 2.0 today (its still FREE) to see the added improvements:

| Ultrasound Tip - Extend your Leak Detector's Range with EDS | ||||
 |
How can overhead piping and air lines that are hard to reach be included in a compressed air leak survey without continuously going up and down scissor lifts and ladders? The use of Extended Distance Sensors and Parabolic Dishes has grown in popularity to improve efficiency and safety of any ultrasonic inspection. Instead of climbing ladders all day, which introduces fatigue and safety concerns, draw out a map of your overhead system and find the leaks from the floor. Extended Distance Sensors (EDS) are designed specifically to receive and focus low energy ultrasound pressure waves created by compressed air leaks. These sensors are low cost and easy to use while extending normal leak detection beyond 50’. Parabolic sensors that are designed for receiving ultrasound signals are quite small; as small as 10’ diameter. Because ultrasound waves can be as small as 3/8” there is no need to use huge dishes. The parabolic shape captures more signals which are focused onto a super sensitive piezo-electric transducer. Laser sights project a small red dot when a leak is found. |

| Create a Long Lasting Compressed Air Leak Management Program | ||||

Create a Long Lasting Compressed Air Leak Management Program Benjamin Franklin wrote, “But in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes,”. If Franklin were alive today he would most certainly add “Unpredictable Energy Costs” to his list of certainties. Unpredictable energy costs are a fact for manufacturing and they are certainly here to stay. What can we do about it? Many of you have heard me preach about the waste that is compressed air leaks. Some of you have implemented my strategies for creating and maintaining an effective ultrasound program. Faced with the fact that energy costs were high, and will be high again, we must be sure the programs in place to manage energy waste will endure. This 10-minute i-Presentation takes a look at some of the keys to starting, and maintaining a long lasting compressed air leak management program. |

Are
you using Leak Tags? Ultrasonic Compressed Air Leak Surveys will be more successful through the use of a two stage tagging system. SDT's compressed air leak tags have a perforated tear away numbered section. Leak surveyors can identify leaks, tag them, and make a short description of their location, the type of gas that is leaking, the date of the survey, and record the decibel level for populating the data fields of the Leak Cost Calculator. The bottom section of the tag is then torn off and used to create a fix order. The section remaining on the leak is removed ONLY after the leak is repaired. After repair it is removed and used to close out the fix order. You can order your leak tags by calling 1-800-667-LEAK (5325).
