Compressed air is an incredibly useful resource, that comes with many advantages over non-pneumatic alternatives. You will find compressed air being used in a variety of industries and applications. It is so widely used that it often called the 4th utility. And as with any utility, it is important to be mindful of the cost, and how to make the most of it.<\/p>\n

One simple way to save compressed air is to find and fix leaks in your compressed air system. According to the Compressed Air and Gas Institute, leaks should not exceed 5-10% of your systems air supply (we would obviously want 0%, but realistically this is unachievable). However, it is not uncommon to see leaks account for over 30% of many facilities compressed air supply being lost through leakage.<\/p>\n

We think leak detection, and correction, is so important, that it is step 2 of our six simple steps to optimize your compressed air system. We have written many blogs on these six steps. To put some context around it, leaks the size of 1\/16\u2033, 1\/8\u2033 and 1\/4\u2033 holes will cost the following:

Knowing the cost of leaks is one thing, but finding them is another challenge altogether. Many leaks are undetectable to the human ear. That\u2019s where EXAIR\u2019s Ultrasonic Leak Detector<\/a> comes in. Our Model 9207<\/a> can detect these high-frequency sounds, allowing you to pinpoint where they are. With the two attachments included; the parabola to locate leaks up to 20 feet away, and the tube attachment to define the exact location, our simple-to-use instrument will save you money, as well as a lot of headaches.<\/p>\n

If you would like to discuss how EXAIR\u2019s Ultrasonic Leak Detector<\/a> can save you money, don\u2019t hesitate to give us a call!<\/p>\n
