Why Leak Detection Drives Efficiency
Air and steam leaks are silent profit drains — increasing energy use, straining compressors, and reducing overall system reliability.
Ultrasonic leak testing gives you the data you need to eliminate waste, optimize performance, and extend the life of your plant’s equipment.
What Ultrasonic Leak Testing Reveals
PTI’s ultrasonic sensors identify high-frequency sound signatures that indicate escaping air, gas, or steam — even in noisy environments.
Results You'll See
Every PTI ultrasonic inspection delivers clear, measurable improvements — from reduced utility costs to improved system uptime.​
Reduced Energy Costs
Lower compressor load and steam losses for immediate savings.
Improved System Efficiency
​
Optimize air and steam performance across your entire facility.
Verified Leak Repairs
​
Confirm maintenance success with post-repair testing and reporting.
Fixing Air Leaks Pays
for Itself — Fast.
The largest source of avoidable energy loss in most facilities is compressed air leakage.
Repairing leaks can save 40–50× the cost of detection, delivering immediate ROI and
long-term efficiency gains.
ULTRASONIC AIR & STEAM TESTING
Ultrasonics can tell if there is a bad trap or external leak in the steam system.​
​ YOU SAVE ON STEAM COSTS BY FINDING AND THEN FIXING THE STEAM LEAKS AND TRAPS!
​
The largest electrical usage energy savings at any site is finding and fixing air leaks.
​ FIXING AIR LEAKS CAN SAVE YOUR COMPANY 40 TO 50 TIMES THE COST OF AIR LEAK DETECTION!
A detailed report will include a digital picture of the location, tag, leak size, and total energy savings.
Here's a more detailed look at the advantages:
-
Versatility:
Ultrasonic leak detection can be used on various systems, including compressed air, vacuum systems, and even in mechanical inspections.
-
Noise Resistance:
Ultrasonic detectors are less affected by background noise, making them suitable for use in industrial settings.
-
Efficiency and Speed:
Ultrasonic leak detection is a quick and safe method, allowing for rapid surveys and pinpointing of leak locations.
-
Cost Savings:
Identifying and repairing leaks can significantly reduce energy costs, maintenance expenses, and downtime.
-
Safety:
Early detection of leaks, especially in hazardous gas systems, improves safety by allowing for prompt repairs.
-
Reduced Downtime:
By detecting leaks before they become major problems, ultrasonic technology helps minimize production downtime.
-
Increased Reliability:
By maintaining a leak-free system, the reliability of compressed air and other pneumatic systems is improved
