Ultra Pro – Ultrasonic leak imaging for high-reliability inspections

Redefining standards in gas leak inspection

The Ultra Pro hand-held ultrasound imaging camera is capable of accurately locating gas leaks from several meters with unrivaled speed. It excels in finding leaks in high or in hard-to-reach areas.

The sensor works by detecting the specific sounds that pressurized gas leaks emit. Thanks to its integrated 124 ultrasound microphones, the ultrasound camera reconstructs the position of the sound source. The information is overlaid in real-time with a wide angle optical image.

Ultra Pro creates, in a single tap, images and videos that can be assembled in reports either using Distran’s reporting software Audalytics or with the user’s preferred software.

The only ATEX Certified ultrasound camera in the world

In January 2021, Distran announced the Ultra Pro X, the world’s first ATEX certified ultrasound camera.

Ultra Pro X is the ATEX certified version of Ultra Pro, specifically designed for use within potentially explosive atmospheres for the oil and gas, chemistry and power plant industry.

Why Use Ultra Pro

  • 10 times faster than traditional methods

Classical gas detectors require the operator to thoroughly check every potential leak point. With Ultrasonic Imaging, the detection can be performed without scanning every single element. The inspection is done several meters away, reducing the need for scaffolding.

  • Reduce your exposure to gas

Leaks can be found several meters away (for bigger leaks up to 100 meters away). The operator has less or no exposure to the hazardous location.

  • Uncover leaks in unexpected locations

As sound propagates beyond our line of sight, hidden leaks that are missed with other techniques can be detected with Ultrasonic Imaging.

  • Quantify leak rate

Ultra Pro is able to quantify the leak rate (in liters per hours or in cubic feet per minute) in a few seconds without using a tripod.

Best-in-class handling in the field

From the beginning, Ultra Pro has been developed with industrials and by people who have performed many inspections in the past. Weighing only 1.5 kg including the battery, the camera is operated with a single hand, so that the operator can safely inspect, even in a staircase. The camera has also been tested for drops, in design to be robust. Its integrated LED lighting illuminate dark areas without the need for a separate light source.
