The last image shows the application of pressure to the Ultrasonic Contact Probe against
the asset under investigation. This can improve the signal transfer and increases its
detection abilities. Please note, when the instrument dB values are read for comparison
purposes, always use the same type of the sensor, in the same position as previously used.
The asset measuring point can be marked on the plant item to facilitate easy location in
future.
1) Relatively flat and smooth surface
2) Using suitable couplant in the case of a rough surface
3) Carefully pressing the Ultrasonic Contact Probe towards the asset to increase
coupling may eliminate the need to use a couplant
