Condition Monitoring

Ultrasonic Condition Monitoring

Ultrasonic Condition Monitoring detects ultrasonic frequencies, pinpointing issues like bearing wear, gear misalignment, or rotating machinery defects for precise solutions and smooth operations.

What is Ultrasonic Condition Monitoring?

If you’re grappling with issues like bearing, gear, or rotating machinery defects, our non-destructive testing (NDT) method utilises high-frequency sound waves to pinpoint material and structural flaws.

Specialising in early defect detection for bearings, gears, and rotating equipment, our services are a preventive measure against costly failures, ensuring equipment safety. For comprehensive asset monitoring, we recommend combining ultrasound and vibration technologies to detect multiple failure modes.

Our offerings include airborne and structure-born ultrasonic condition monitoring, covering everything from compressed air/gas leak detection surveys to bearing monitoring and steam trap surveys.

From initial planning to results that matter, BES Group will be with you at every step

Speak to us about the process

Planning

We will work with you to identify the assets and frequency of the testing. From this, we will select the appropriate techniques required.

Preparation

The assets may need to be cleaned and access to the assets is required to undertake the inspection.

Inspection

This will be done using Ultrasonic Transducers. These emit high-frequency soundwaves that are reflected from defects. These soundwaves are then analysed to identify the severity, location and size of the defects.

Interpretation

The results will then be analysed by one of our expert analysts who will determine what defects may have been identified during the inspection.

Results

You will be provided with clear and concise reports, along with detailed recommendations of actions that will need to be carried out to rectify any defects.
