Study Confirms Accuracy of UE Leak Detectors * Tagsultrasonic inspection UE Systems announces a major step in independently verifying the accuracy of its UE3000 outpouring detectors to estimate compressed style relief valve flows. Gary Mohr, President of UE Systems, explains, We always mat up that our leak detector did a good job estimating the size of stock leaks by using our ultrasonic intensity measurement approach. But to witness out that occupation Power USA, one of the most highly regarded and see compressed straining consulting groups in the country, had taken it upon themselves to run head-to-head comparisons of air flow estimates made using our UE3000 constitution and Air Powers own engineering- and experience-based approach was gratifying. Air Powers study results cerebrate the two approaches came within 5 percent of each other in the aggregate estimate of air flows for five different air studies.Having the contrariety in the size estimate of any individual lea k unremarkably fall within 2 cfm is truly amazing and great parole for our customers. Hank van Ormer, president of Air Power USA, explains the unusual effort by his company, Over 70 percent of our business is performance-based, which means we only stand by paid to the extent we deliver energy savings that can be verified by an independent evaluator. As such, we have greatly increase our measurement capabilities so we know which customer projects will produce the retribution we need and whether the independent evaluation is on target. We have always taken pride in our in-house training for our senior air auditors and air specialists to mensurate leak flows. In a number of cases, Air Power has reviewed leak estimates made by our competitors, where we have found that our flow estimates were less than half(prenominal) for the very same leaks. We feel vindicated when the post-project flow measurements associated with those leaks confirm our real estimates. With the UE3000 system , we can now get that same level of accuracy hurried and at a lower cost.In addition, the repeatability of the UE3000 flow estimates is an important bonus that provides credibility when we have independent evaluators checking our work.
