The Det-Tronics FlexSonic® acoustic detector is the first non-contact gas leak detector of its kind. Using a sophisticated algorithm, it listens for 24 unique acoustical “fingerprints” that are characteristic of pressurized gas leaks. By tuning out nuisance ultrasonic sources, this detector reduces false alarms, so your operations run without false alarm triggered shutdowns.
The FlexSonic™ Acoustic Detector is designed to recognize the unique ultrasonic frequency content of events such as gas leaks. When a pressurized gas leak occurs, the frequency content of the sound being generated extends beyond the audible portion of the spectrum into the ultrasonic region (above 20 kHz). The intensity of the sound generated by a leak is determined by several factors including pressure, leak rate, gas viscosity, and distance from the leak source. Acoustic detection is less susceptible to environmental factors (such as high winds) that can degrade the ability of traditional sensing technology based on gas concentration to detect the presence of a leak. When combined with line of sight and/or point gas detectors, the additional layer of protection provided by the FlexSonic Acoustic Detector offers the ultimate solution for gas leak detection.
