AGE 1401 - Aerospace Leak Detection Tool Kit

The most common use of ultrasonic noise detection is to locate leaks in pressurised systems. When air escapes through an orifice, the flow becomes turbulent. This vortex of air has an ultrasonic signature. This ultrasonic noise is characteristically identified as a "rushing" sound with very few discernable single audio tones. The Ultrasonic detector is specifically tuned to listen for this vortex tone.
