3. SonicMan’s Principle of Measurement 3 SonicMan’s Principle of Detection 1. Leak locations generate a warning sound by their very nature. There are many cases in the ? ? field where large amounts of fluid are leaking ? from the screwed or flanged areas of piping joints or from gaskets. An ultrasonic signal is generated at these Ultrasonic types of leak locations. (“Ultrasonic” is used waves here to refer to sounds in high frequency bands that cannot be heard by the human ear.) This ultrasonic signal is generated even in the case of very small leaks, and offers a much higher chance of leak location detection than does relying on the spectrum of sound that is audible to the human ear. 2. SonicMan, which detects ultrasonic signals and converts them to audible sound, employs an ultrasonic microphone and an ! electrical band path filter to isolate and detect ultrasonic signals. Furthermore, the ultrasonic signals that have been detected and converted to audible sound can then be heard through the headphone. Additionally, concentrating the directional ability of the ultrasonic microphone facilitates the identification of leak locations, and the added use of the laser pointer effects a great increase in the efficiency of leak detection and location identification. 3. Automatic Calculation of Estimated Leakage Amounts When the reading’s distance and relevant information about the object being tested have been input, SonicMan displays an automatic calculation of the estimated leakage amount, based on the reading gained during detection. This can be used as a rough measure of the total quantity of losses. The calculation of leakage amount is made possible by using information, stored in SonicMan, that has been gained from previous laboratory experiments. 123 x 45 – 67 = 5468 072-65251M-03 (SonicMan SO2) 21 Jun 2007 11
