What’s New in Ultrasound Inspection?
Tom Murphy presents updates on acoustic cameras, continuous monitoring systems, on-condition lubrication, and process monitoring sensors (he warns that just because a sensor measures above 20 kHz, it doesn’t make it Ultrasound)…

Case Studies and Stories
Failure Detection using Ultrasound–Case Study: Slow-Speed Bearing on Oven Motor
Vibration analysis has long been the instrument of choice to use for bearings and other rotating equipment. More commonly, ultrasound is being used in conjunction with vibration analysis to help technicians confirm the condition of mechanical assets.

Two Minute Tips
Steam Trap Testing
Reduce Energy Costs and Increase Process Stability with Ultrasonic Testing Equipment. Regular inspections of production equipment are essential in preventive maintenance. Early detection of damage or signs of wear leads to increased plant availability and also saves enormous costs. Is the steam trap working correctly or is it defective? Digital ultrasonic testing technology provides the answer. Energy losses are reduced and process stability is increased.

Ultrasound Training
In this Interview Tom Murphy shares his 30 year condition monitoring experience noticing how poorley, with some notable exceptions technical schools and universities teach. In the last 27 years he began to relaise two things: 1. Condition monitoring was more than just vibration and infrared, 2. Not all problems rotate..
