Pinpoint leaks of any gas up to 50m away

Ultra Pro is a hand-held ultrasonic camera that literally sees gas leaks from the specific sound they emit. Ultra Pro pinpoints and quantifies leaks in a fast, safe and reliable manner. Using its 124 integrated microphones, Ultra Pro pinpoints leaks of all gases (including methane, air, hydrogen) and steam or even vacuum.

The acoustic image is overlaid in real-time on an optical image, allowing the operator to “visualize” the leak. Moreover, Ultra Pro displays the estimated leak rate (in L/h) so the user can prioritize the maintenance and repair of leaks.

Pictures and videos of detected leaks and inspection voice notes can be recorded and integrated into digital reports with Distran Audalytics (built-in reporting system).

Pros & Limitations

Faster: inspections are up to 10x faster than classical gas detection methods

Safer: reduces exposure time to gas and finds leaks up to 50 meters

Reliable: finds more leaks and reduces variability between operators

Efficient: works even in windy or very noisy environment, from -10°C to +50°C

Versatile: detects all types of compressed gases, steam, vacuum and partial discharges

User Friendly: easy to deploy and use

Cost-efficient device

Helps in predictive machinery maintenance

Fast and lean reporting

Solution not suitable for underground pipe leak detection
