Ultrasonic Condition Alert 586

The UCA 586 sensor is economically priced and is specifically designed for contact applications. Examples of these applications include:

I. Highly viscous fluid flows through pipes.

II. Groove Counting.

III. A paper mill monitors a critical valve. In only specific situations is the valve to be opened. Should a valve leak, an alarm is activated.

IV. A food producer automatically washes large tanks with an internal spray wand. A sensor mounted on the outer wall detects the spray of water as it hits the interior wall. A localized indicator signals a ” no-wash” condition.

V. An Electric utility has sensors affixed to cooling and feedwater boiler pumps to detect the onset of destructive cavitation.

VI. Screw Compressors: Bearings are monitored for the onset of the failure mode in compressors used for refrigeration.

VII. Fan Bearings

VIII. Cooling Fan bearings in a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for a computer room.

IX. Dynamometers are used to simulate driving conditions in an automotive test facility.

X. Landing gear in a test lab.
