Fluke SB140

Our Part No. SB140

Mfr. Model SB140

The Fluke SB140 is a sound beacon that upgrades the leak detection processes by ensuring the integrity of non-pressurized vessels. By placing this device inside of the vessel, and using a Fluke acoustic imager from the outside, users can visually locate escaping ultrasound.

Locate leaks faster and more accurately
Ideal for applications where pressurization is not feasible
Operate easily with minimal training

This product is available for shipping to the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico only.

Details

The Fluke SB140 Sound Beacon upgrades the leak detection processes by ensuring the integrity of non-pressurized vessels. This cutting-edge method revolutionizes leak detection and tightness testing by placing the SB140 Sound Beacon device inside the vessel and using a Fluke acoustic imager from the outside to visually locate escaping ultrasound through weld beads, gaskets, seals, hatches, or windows. It is perfect for quality control in aviation, automotive, railroads, clean rooms, and more.

The Fluke SB140 Sound Beacon is designed for tightness applications and to work in conjunction with Fluke acoustic imagers. The ultrasound frequency of 40 kHz is excellent at traveling through the air with low attenuation. This means the sound inside a closed space can effectively find its way out of a leak path and to the Fluke camera for visualization. Fluke acoustic imagers can easily detect the ultrasound frequency of the SB140 Sound Beacon, so the potential leak point is pinpointed visually on the screen. Using the Fluke acoustic imager in "Beacon Mode" is even more straightforward because the camera frequency filter is fixed and centered on 40 kHz.

Finally, the Fluke SB140 Sound Beacon is designed to provide easy, fast, and superior leak detection and tightness testing across numerous industries - including automotive, aviation, cleanrooms, white goods, maritime, and construction - ensuring both high-quality standards, as well as regulatory compliance.
