Gooseneck
The gooseneck should be used when the lines and
components being inspected are physically very close
to each other. In addition, the gooseneck's shape can
be adjusted as necessary in order to make it possible
to comfortably inspect lines and components that are
difficult to access.
The gooseneck's sensitivity has been reduced in order to
attenuate noise.
Accordingly, it is exceptionally well-suited to inspecting
compressed air components in a targeted and local
manner when there is high noise, such as is the case inside
compressed air distributor cabinets and with systems that
use pneumatic cylinders.
Quantification distance: 0 ... 0.05 m (0 ... 0.16 ft)
When to use the gooseneck:
•
Short distance from line / component of
0.05 m (0.16 ft)
•
Freely accessible line / component
•
The lines and components being inspected are
physically very close to each other
•
Medium to high noise

Parabolic mirror
The parabolic mirror bundles horizontally incident
ultrasonic waves together at its focal point, where
the ultrasonic transducer is located. This results in
the measured ultrasound being significantly amplified
(long range), as well as in very precise directional
characteristics, as any ultrasound that is not horizontally
incident is simply reflected by the reflector.
The combination of these two properties means that the
parabolic mirror can be used to accurately pinpoint leaks
across long distances.
Quantification distance: 3 ... 12 m (9.84 ... 39.38 ft)
When to use the parabolic mirror:
•
Long distance from line / component of
3 ... 12 m (9.84 ... 39.38 ft)
•
Noise
•
Leak not freely accessible
•
Leaks physically close to each other (overlapping)
