Vacuum Tank Hatch with seal leakage

UNIQUE PHOTO OF THE MONTH

VACUUM LEAK INFRARED INSPECTIONS:

This may be an obscure inspection to most... but you may find a similar application at your plant.

The thermal photo shows a hatch on a large tile tank that is under a vacuum... the tank and the hatch in this case are uniformly warm, with the leak point showing up cooler.   As the cool room air is being sucked into the tank, it cools the surrounding materials.  The actual leak point is at the gasket behind the lip on the hatch - directly behind the black spot on the IR photo.

I discovered this vacuum leak using my Guide TP-8 IR camera, then confirmed the finding with my UE Ultrasound detector. 

Pressure leaks (compressed air, for example) show up in a similar manner.  Note the similarities in the Airborne Ultrasound sample of a compressed air hose leak sample:  3infr-bairb.html

If your company is not scanning for vacuum or pressure leaks... you need to start!  If you are already scanning... don't be tempted to decrease the frequency of your infrared scans... preventing failures requires consistent monitoring and diligence!  Let Altheus Infrared SHOW you the facts.  Call today 207-205-3994 to schedule!
