Simulate Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detection

Jan. 11, 2010
A gas leak simulation tool for ultrasonic gas detection is designed to demonstrate the advantages of implementing ultrasonic detectors for high-pressure gas leaks. 
The system responds to the distinctive ultrasound created by the leak. The detectors pick up gas leaks at the speed of sound without having to wait for the gas to accumulate and physically enter a point sensor head (conventional point detector) or within a narrow beam (open path gas detector). The acoustic detection method is thereby unaffected by unknown factors such as wind conditions, gas dilution and leak direction. The simulator can be accessed in a trial version on the vendor’s Web site. Gassonicwww.gassonic.com/simulator+45.44.700.910
