Description
Optimize Leak Detection with the Fluke SB140 Sound Beacon
Ensure the integrity of non-pressurized vessels with the Fluke SB140 Sound Beacon—an advanced solution for leak detection and tightness testing. Simply place the beacon inside the vessel, and use a Fluke Acoustic Imager outside to visually identify ultrasound escaping through welds, gaskets, seals, hatches, or windows. This method is ideal for quality control in aviation, automotive, rail, cleanrooms, and more.
Designed for Tightness Testing
The SB140 emits a focused ultrasound frequency that travels efficiently through air, escaping through any openings. Fluke Acoustic Imagers, especially in “Beacon Mode,” easily detect this signal—allowing fast, accurate identification of leak points.
Applications & Benefits
