Ultrasonic leak detector TMSU 1
Description
The SKF Ultrasonic Leak Detector is a
hand-held instrument that is supplied in
a sturdy carrying case complete with a
rubber nozzle for the sensor, headset
and batteries.
TMSU 1 is an easy to use instrument for
the detection of leaks in compressed air
systems, pneumatics brake systems,
vacuum systems, pressurized gas
storage, and steam traps. It works like a
microphone, but is sensitive only to high
frequency ultrasound. The sensor
transforms then the ultrasound into an
audible frequency that can be heard
through the headphones.
Leaks are caused by fluid flowing from a
high pressure environment to a low
pressure environment, creating
turbulence. The turbulence generates
high frequency sounds (so called
ultrasound) that can be detected by
TMSU 1. The sensitive piezoelectric
crystal in the sensor allows the end user
to quickly guide the instrument to the
loudest point which helps locate the leak
location.

Leaks are comparable to finger prints,
they are unique. The TMSU 1 produces a
quality signal that is truly representative
of that leak, unlike other products that
only generate a “beep” that does not
truly guide the user.
The handset has one output for
connecting the headset. The headset is
an approved ear defender that
represents the best technology available
for this kind of instrument.
Application
The TMSU 1 is suitable for detecting,
tracing and diagnosing the source of all
kinds of leaks, such as compressed air,
gases, steam and vacuum systems. It
can also be used to verify the correct
operation of steam traps.
Note:
The TMSU 1 is not ATEX approved.
