Ultrasound Inspection Solutions
Beyond Heat: Ultrasound Solutions for Next-Level Reliability
Ultrasound complements visual inspection and infrared thermography for a comprehensive assessment of equipment condition.
Ultrasound technology revolutionizes electrical and mechanical inspections by detecting faults before they generate heat. Ultrasound identifies arcing, tracking, and corona in any environmental condition. When paired with infrared thermography and visual inspections, ultrasound provides a complete view of system health, confirming thermal anomalies and ensuring early detection. IRISS ultrasound windows enable inspectors to combine the strengths of both technologies for a thorough, precise, data-driven assessment of asset condition.
What Makes Ultrasound a Must Have
for Electrical Inspections?
Early Fault Detection
Ultrasound enables inspectors to identify arcing, tracking, and corona discharge before they generate heat, addressing issues earlier than infrared alone.
Enhanced Safety
Ultrasound- embedded IRISS windows eliminate the need to open energized panels, reducing arc flash risk and ensuring safer standards compliance.
Improved Accuracy
Combine ultrasound and infrared data to cross-verify findings, detecting issues before heat develops and confirming thermal anomalies for a full fault profile.
Fully Certified
UL Listed (E491496) and arc flash-rated, IRISS ultrasound windows meet and exceed rigorous safety standards, ensuring compliance and performance in the most demanding environments.
Unmatched Warranty
Backed by the industry’s only unconditional lifetime warranty, these windows are designed to outlast your asset.
Increased Efficiency
Streamline your workflow with single-access windows for both ultrasound and infrared, saving time and consolidating inspection teams down to one.
Predictive Maintenance Tool
By enabling comprehensive inspections, ultrasound ports help reduce fire risk, unplanned outages, and equipment failure, extending equipment lifespan through proactive maintenance.

Safely Inspect Your Electrical Assets in an Energized State
Ultrasound inspection using sound ports and handheld testing devices plays a critical role when used in asset inspection and management programs. Anomalies in equipment or components of equipment may create ultrasound waves that, when detected, could alert the maintenance team that a component needs to be further assessed for deterioration. The goal is to find the anomaly, determine the health of the equipment, and fix it if needed before that equipment fails. Condition Based Maintenance programs allow teams to proactively detect and fix defects before costly repairs or full replacements are needed.
Enhanced Diagnostic Accuracy
Utilizes partial discharge sensor sound ports and handheld devices to accurately pinpoint the source of equipment anomalies for precise diagnostics.
Minimizes Downtime
By detecting issues early, it significantly reduces the risk of unplanned downtime, enhancing operational efficiency.
Sustainability in Maintenance
Promotes a sustainable approach to maintenance by extending the life of equipment and reducing the need for resource-intensive replacements.
