SDT Ultrasound Solutions applications
For 4000 years we have been lubricating our machinery and rotating assets to increase their efficiency, reliability and lifespan. Proper bearing lubrication minimizes the surface contact of machinery, reducing undesired friction, excessive heat, metal-on-metal contact and wear and tear.
Valves play a crucial role in the transportation of gas, oil and water throughout your plant. They start and stop flow while also preventing backflow and regulating flow and pressure.
When tightness integrity deteriorates, things can leak out or things can get in. The ability to test for tightness with an ultrasound detector and its associated ultrasonic transmitter is extremely powerful and versatile. Many things need to be air tight. Like underground storage tanks, the engine or cabin of a car, large shipping containers or the bearing housing in a paper production plant. Ensuring their tightness has positive economic and environmental effects. Tightness testing is crucial to energy and money savings, protection from the elements and environmentally friendliness.
SDT was thefirst to pioneeron ultrasound-based hatch cover weathertightness testing on board of ships back in the late 1980s. Together with MacGregor, Lloyds Register of Shipping and IMCS, SDT was able to put ultrasound testing of hatch covers on the world map and make it the preferred method for testing hatch covers by charterers, shippers, P&I insurers and stakeholders in the marine industry.
