Air leaks can go unnoticed and unfixed because they are nearly impossible to locate on a noisy production floor. They don't make a mess on the floor, and they don't always interrupt production.
Sometimes, maintenance workers are completely unaware of the financial and production implications of a leaky facility.
Often times, the entire plant is so busy fighting fires in reactive mode trying to keep up production and running that they simply don't have time to do an air leak survey.
Ultrasound is the best tool for detecting friction, impacting or turbulence.
As compressed air seeps through a leak, it produces turbulent flow, along with a high frequency hissing noise. This hissing, while audible in a quiet setting, is nearly impossible to hear over the roar of production. Other leak detection methods such as the soap bubble test are messy, difficult and time consuming. On the contrary, ultrasound provides an easier and effective way of detecting air leaks.
