The ability to record and listen to high frequency sound both in the air and through solids and to do so with virtually no influence the vibration levels present, gives Ultrasound a unique ability to provide additional information about the behavior of a component in a machine.

This presentation draws on case histories from numerous industries and countries to show how Ultrasound has proved invaluable in assisting the Vibration Analyst to find defects in bearings in otherwise challenging conditions, couplings, gearboxes, pumps and lubrication.
