SDT Ultrasound develops advanced condition monitoring technologies that use ultrasound to reveal developing equipment problems often before they can be detected by other inspection methods. By identifying subtle changes in machine and system behavior, SDT solutions help maintenance and reliability teams find problems earlier, plan corrective action, and reduce the risk of unexpected failures.

SDT technology supports a wide range of reliability applications, including mechanical condition monitoring, bearing lubrication, compressed air and gas leak detection, electrical fault detection, steam trap testing, valve inspection, hydraulic system monitoring, and tightness testing. These capabilities allow facilities to use a common technology across numerous areas of their reliability and energy-management programs.

For rotating equipment, ultrasound can identify early-stage bearing problems and provide real-time feedback during lubrication, helping technicians determine when a bearing requires grease—and when enough has been applied. Across plant utility systems, ultrasound can locate compressed air and gas leaks, identify malfunctioning steam traps and valves, and detect other conditions that contribute to energy loss, waste, and reduced process efficiency.

With portable instruments, permanent monitoring systems, sensors, software, and acoustic imaging technologies, SDT provides reliability teams with flexible tools for detecting, trending, and analyzing equipment condition. The result is earlier fault detection, more precise maintenance decisions, reduced energy losses, and greater confidence in the health of critical plant assets.
