Fluke ii915 Acoustic Imager: Detect, Locate, and Assess Anomalies

The Fluke ii915 Acoustic Imager is a powerful tool designed to identify and evaluate issues in various systems. With three distinct modes—LeakQ™, PDQ™, and MecQ™—this innovative device empowers maintenance professionals to take proactive measures and prevent costly problems. Let’s explore its capabilities:

Leak Detection with More Sensitivity
LeakQ™ Mode: Detect Hidden Costs

Leaks in compressed air, gas, steam, and vacuum systems can lead to significant financial losses. The Fluke ii915 simplifies leak detection by allowing technicians to visualize sound. As they scan hoses, fittings, and connections, the built-in acoustic array captures decibel levels per frequency. The resulting SoundMap™ overlays on a visual image, making it easy to pinpoint leaks—even during peak operation hours. Say goodbye to time-consuming inspections and hello to efficient leak detection. Fluke ii915 has the high frequency range and best sensitivity to do acoustic leak detection more efficiently.

Early Mechanical Issue Identification
MecQ™ Mode: Efficient Inspection for Conveyor Systems

Conveyor systems are notorious for their complexity and potential to disrupt production. The Fluke ii915 acoustic camera revolutionizes inspection by enabling contactless scanning of large areas. Advanced noise filtering ensures clear images, even in high-noise environments. Detecting potential mechanical issues early allows targeted maintenance, preventing unplanned downtime. For seamless operation and proactive maintenance of large conveyance systems, the Fluke ii915 Acoustic Imager with MecQ™ is the ultimate choice.

Visualizing the Invisible Threat
PDQ™ Mode: Locating Partial Discharge

Partial discharge poses serious risks, from arc flash fires to blackouts. The Fluke ii915 translates partial discharge sounds into visuals, precisely pinpointing their location. With an extended frequency range of 2-100 kHz, this tool can detect partial discharge even earlier and aids maintenance planning to prevent catastrophic events. High-voltage electricians, electrical test engineers, and grid maintenance teams can now see what was once invisible.

Key features
• Enhanced Performance: Improved detection performance for gas leaks, electrical discharges, and mechanical issues.
• LeakQ™ Mode: Estimated leak size and cost.
• PDQ Mode™: Assesses discharge severity.
• MecQ™ Mode: Proactively address potential problems in rotating mechanical components.
• Reporting Features: Integrated visual and textual tagging and annotation functionalities for streamlined reporting.
• Wireless Upload: Easily transfer data to Fluke Connect.

Double your productivity or cut your calibration time in half
• Temperatures from –15 °C to 350 °C in one unit
• Two wells in each block for simultaneous comparison calibrations
• Rugged, lightweight, water-resistant enclosure

You’ve been asking for it and now we’re making it for you. The Model 9009 Industrial Dual-Block Calibrator lets you calibrate at hot and cold temperatures at the same time. Double your productivity or cut your calibration time in half—either way you look at it, your in-field temperature calibrations just got easier.

The P3200 models are available in single or dual piston formats for increased operating ranges. Units can be supplied in psi, bar, kgf/cm², and MPa. This robust instrument is highly accurate, quick and easy to use. Units feature a built-in priming pump for large volume applications, piston flotation indicators and a high quality screw press for fine pressure control.

Operating principle
Deadweight testers are the high performance pressure standard for pressure measurement. Utilizing the well proven piston-gauge system consisting of a vertically mounted, precision lapped piston and cylinder assembly, accurately calibrated weight masses (Force) are loaded on the piston (Area), which rises freely within its cylinder. These weights balance the upward force created by the pressure within the system. The pressure is measured when placed on a correctly spinning and floating piston. The total pressure measured is the summation of the weights plus the piston weight carrier assembly.
Instrument base
There are three basic variations in the hydraulic offering; single low pressure, single high pressure and dual piston models. Pressure is generated and controlled by means of a high quality screw press located on the front of the tester. A built-in hand pump is included as standard for all hydraulic models to prime the system and accommodate large volume requirements.

Piston/cylinder assemblies

The piston/cylinder assembly is the heart of each deadweight tester. They are manufactured from materials that provide stability, durability, and low thermal coefficients and distortion. Our experience and knowledge of piston/cylinder production and calibration ensure the precision and performance required for today’s demanding calibration requirements.

Weight masses

Standard weight masses are series 3 nonmagnetic austenitic stainless steel. Each mass is marked with the serial number of the instrument and the nominal pressure value relative to the high or low-pressure piston, when applicable. Optional fractional weights are stainless steel and/or solution heat treated aluminum.
Gravity correction

Gravity varies significantly with geographical location and this variation has a direct effect on the force of the weights and the accuracy of the deadweight tester. Each instrument can be calibrated to local gravity at no extra cost. If unspecified, instruments will be calibrated to Standard Gravity at 980.665 cm/s2.
