Defect Detection 101
The benefit of ultrasonic is that the energies produced
are detectable much earlier in the failure curve.

Static Condition Indicators
• RMS• Max RMS• Peak• Crest Factor
![Page 6: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

What is RMS?
• Acronym for Root Mean Square• Reflects the amount of energy present • Physical unit (we use): dBµV
![Page 7: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

8
RMS: advantages/disadvantages
Positive:• Stable
• Repeatable
• Suited for trending
Negative:• Insensitive to short duration events
• So not suited to early stage impact detection
![Page 9: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9
Max RMS: advantages/disadvantages
Positive:• Stable and repeatable
• Comparison with RMS: steady or varying signal
• Suited for trending
Negative:• Insensitive to early stage impact detection
![Page 10: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
What is Peak?
• The highest value detected in the time signal• Physical unit used: dBµV• The Sampling Rate is 8K.
![Page 11: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Peak : advantages/disadvantages
Positive:• Very sensitive to any change
• Suited for impact detection
Negative:• Not going to be repeatable, by the very nature of infrequent
transients
• Trends difficult to interpret
![Page 12: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
What is Crest Factor?
• The Peak-to-RMS ratio• Crest Factor = Peak / RMS• No physical unit – it is a numeric ratio• Indicates how Peaky the signal is or how many
impacts/RMS
![Page 13: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
What is Crest Factor?
• RMS value is 20dBµV• Peak is 40dBµV• Crest Factor could be expressed in dB’s
– 40-20=20dB
• Crest Factor is expressed in linear numbers– Crest Factor is 10
• 40dBµV = 100µV, 20dBµV = 10µV– Crest Factor is 100/10= 10
![Page 14: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Benefits
Combining the 4 condition indicators:• Better view of machinery health or performance (steam traps,
mechanical)
• Better evaluation of the failure severity (lubrication, mechanical, traps)
• Better diagnosis capabilities (lubrication vs bearing failure)
• Early stage detection (mechanical)

Condition indicators and UAS
• UAS handles each indicator separately
• Select whichever you want for trend display
• Alarms are set up individually for each– (3 Absolute, 4 Relative, 2 Safe) x 4 = 36 alarms

Time Signal
• Time Signal– Impacts can be seen clearly
![Page 24: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Expand any area of this time signal• Apply a periodic cusor
– You get a repetition frequency of 346cpm– 2x the inner race defect frequency (173cpm)
Time Signal

![Page 27: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

What’s the problem?
• Over lubrication is – A huge killer of bearings– Consumes far too much grease– Consumes far too much time– Reduces reliability
![Page 29: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Applications
Lubrication:• Lubrication is friction
• Correctly greased: regular and pleasant signal (low RMS value)
• Under or over greased: friction, and so signal is increasing
• RMS is the suited indicator, throw in Peak to detect possible early stage damage
![Page 30: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Lubrication example
Healthy bearing being lubricated:• Correctly greased: RMS = 51.2 dBµV
• Under-greased: RMS = 57.8 dBµV
![Page 32: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Using an accelerometer
![Page 36: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Keeping it simple
• The 270 has IR temperature measurement– But it is not an IR camera
• The 270 has vibration measurement– But it is not a vibration data collector– That’s not the intention
![Page 37: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Using an accelerometer
• Adds one extra tool to the powerful SDT270• Means that users can make diagnosis that bit
easier– Don’t need to go back to office to change tools– Don’t need to ask somebody else to do it

What can I measure?
• Velocity in ips or mm/s 10-1,000Hz• Acceleration in g 10-10,000Hz• RMS and Peak calculated• Dynamic measurement (Time) of both now
possible with the Raw option instead of Ht.• All options controlled inside UAS Sensor
Options• Supports 100mV/g ONLY

Valve Inspections
1. Do a comparison method before and after the valve. OR
2. Contact the valve and listen.
![Page 44: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Valves and Hydraulics
• Find internal leakage
and passing valves
• Perform inspections
without disassembly
• Save hours or even
days from complicated
repairs
Ultrasonic Inspection of
Hydraulics:
• Place contact sensor
on valve body and
wait for system to
cycle.
• Ultrasound will tell
you that the valve is
passing or stuck in
shut position.
![Page 45: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Valve Body Inspection
• Checking valve for flow– Upstream and downstream– Works for any gas or liquid
![Page 46: Ultrasound, not just your daddy leak detector anymore](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814300550346895daf5632/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Valve Inspections
• Identify the difference between a closed and 10% open 60cm bypass recycle valve– Dynamic measurements captured
downstream– Time signals identically scaled
Valve closed Valve opened 10%
