What is ultrasonic equipment diagnostics?

Ultrasonic diagnostics is a non-destructive testing method that uses high-frequency sound waves to identify equipment defects. Ultrasonic detectors find compressed-air leaks, electrical discharges, bearing lubrication problems, steam trap defects and other faults at an early stage.

Which ultrasonic detector should beginners choose?

Beginners are recommended to start with the SDT200 or ULTRAChecker. These instruments are easy to use, low-cost, and let you quickly assess the value of ultrasonic diagnostics. They are ideal for basic tasks: finding air leaks, checking steam traps and verifying tightness.

What is the difference between the SDT270 and SDT340?

The SDT270 is a handheld data collector: 2 channels, bandwidth up to 100 kHz, built-in IR thermometer and laser tachometer, an ICP accelerometer input, routes and trends in Ultranalysis Suite 3. The SDT340 adds what deeper analysis needs: 6.5 GB memory, focUS mode with sampling up to 256 kHz, time signal and spectrum on the instrument screen, Bluetooth headphones and LUBExpert mode. The SDT340 is the flagship for comprehensive programs.

What is LUBExpert and how does it work?

LUBExpert is SDT's patented acoustic bearing lubrication system. The instrument analyzes the ultrasonic signal from a bearing in real time and gives precise recommendations on lubrication quantity and frequency, preventing both under- and over-lubrication and extending bearing life.

What tasks does ultrasonic diagnostics solve in a plant?

Ultrasonic diagnostics addresses 8 key tasks: mechanical monitoring of bearings and gears, lubrication quality control, finding compressed-air and gas leaks, detecting electrical faults (corona discharge, arcing), checking steam traps, monitoring leaks in hydraulic systems, assessing valve condition, and testing seal tightness.

How quickly does ultrasonic diagnostics pay for itself?

Payback depends on the site: the electricity tariff and the number of leaks, the cost of an hour of downtime on critical machines, current grease consumption. The main savings come from fixed compressed-air leaks (according to the Compressed Air Challenge, they waste 20–30% of output at a typical plant), fewer bearing failures from lubrication errors, and avoided breakdowns. We can help work out payback on your own data; steam trap losses can be worked out in the calculator on this site.

Do you supply equipment to Kazakhstan and provide a warranty?

Yes, KEG TRK is the official supplier of SDT Ultrasound Solutions in Kazakhstan and the CIS. We deliver across Kazakhstan (Almaty, Astana, Pavlodar, Shymkent, Karaganda, Atyrau, Aktau and other cities), as well as to Uzbekistan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Belarus. We provide the manufacturer's official warranty and offer service support and staff training.

Ultrasonic Diagnostics for Industrial Equipment

Instruments and software for predictive maintenance from SDT Ultrasound Solutions

Ultrasonic equipment diagnostics is a predictive maintenance method based on picking up the ultrasound produced by friction, impacts, leaks and electrical discharge. It finds faults at an early stage without stopping production: lack of lubrication and emerging bearing defects, compressed air and gas leaks, passing valves. KEG TRK, the official supplier of SDT Ultrasound Solutions in Kazakhstan, supplies SDT ultrasonic instruments and software to industrial companies across the country.

SDT ultrasonic detectors are used for monitoring bearing condition, optimizing lubrication, detecting compressed-air and gas leaks, identifying electrical discharges (corona discharge, arcing), checking steam traps, monitoring hydraulic systems, and assessing valve condition. The SDT200 → SDT270 → SDT340 lineup covers everything from basic route-based inspection to route-based data collection, signal recording and time- and frequency-domain analysis in Ultranalysis Suite 3.

KEG TRK provides the manufacturer's official warranty, staff training in SDT methodology, technical support, and delivery to Almaty, Astana, Rudny, Atyrau, Pavlodar, Shymkent, Aktau and other cities in Kazakhstan, as well as Uzbekistan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Belarus.
