Ultrasonic Gas Leak Mapping Services
Incus Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detector
What is Mapping?
Ultrasonic gas leak mapping is a service
offered to measure and record the background
ultrasound of process plant under normal
operation. The information gathered along with
gas pressure, gas temperature, and gas type is
used to assess the likely detection radius of the a
Incus for client specified gas leak rates.
A mapping survey allows us to produce a report which will
indicate the preferred detector location and the exact area
covered by each detector. By carrying out a survey it ensures all
essential plant and equipment are covered by an ultrasonic gas
leak detector, allowing each detector to be set at a specified
level to eliminate potential false alarms.

Benefits

Service and Support

Enables initial UGLD count and positioning to be accurately
estimated
Easier final installation and commissioning as detectors will
be in the right locations

Emerson survey technicians can attend both onshore and
offshore installations to carry out a background noise survey.
This confirms the general plant background noise and identifies
high intensity ultrasonic sound generated by specific plant.
This information is then loaded into our proprietary software
program to confirm detector location and coverage.

Brown Field
Accurately assesses how many UGLD are required and their
approximate alarm settings
Confirms specified area will be protected
Identifies sporadic ultrasonic sound sources so time delay
can be set

Survey Report
The survey report contains the following information:
Description of the survey carried out
Map or plan of the surveyed area together with proposed
detector positioning
Copies of the data taken at site
Recommendations to mitigate site background noise
Advice on specific detector alarm set points

An ultrasonic noise mapping survey is carried out in a live plant
environment to ensure the layout of ultrasonic gas leak detector
is optimized and alarm levels and time delays are set correctly.
