1. Introduction
The SKF Ultrasonic Leak Detector TKSU 10 is
designed to detect leaks in compressed air systems,
pneumatic brake systems, vacuum systems,
pressurized gas storage, and steam traps.
1.1 Intended use
It can be used to verify the integrity of compressed
air systems, and the tightness of
containers, trucks, buses, cars, storage systems,
building envelopes, containment walls,
tanks, recreational vehicles, and more….
1.2 Principle of operation
The principle of operation of the TKSU 10 can be
compared to a special microphone, sensitive only to
high frequency ultrasounds. A sensitive piezoelectric
crystal is used as a sensor element. Minute sound
waves excite the crystal, creating an electrical pulse
that is amplified and then “heterodyned” or
translated into an audible frequency that the
user can hear through a pair of noise reduction
headphones.
