SonaVu… Powered by SDT
SDT Ultrasound Solutions introduces SonaVu, the premiere acoustic
imaging camera from the world’s favourite ultrasound company.
SONAVU detects sources of airborne
ultrasound using its 112 highly sensitive
ultrasound sensors from up to 50
metres (164 feet) away. Defects are
shown on visual images allowing operators
to easily pinpoint faults that
produce ultrasound. SonaVu brings
the power of superhuman hearing to
focus on its vibrant 5” color display.
SonaVu is an acoustic imaging
camera that visualizes airborne ultrasound
from compressed air and gas
leaks, as well as dangerous partial discharge
in electrical assets.
Compressed Air Leak
Management with SonaVu
Compressed air systems are integral to
modern manufacturing.
More often than not, compressed
air systems are poorly maintained and
full of leaks.
Leaking compressed air systems
can impact product quality and detract
from production efficiency.
It’s a wonder that compressed air
systems are neglected when they are a

pivotal element of production.
Compressed air leaks account for
as much as 35-40% of total demand.
That's 35-40% of your electricity wasted
for nothing.
Problems from inefficient compressed
air system aren’t always immediately
noticeable to maintenance
professionals, but over time, compounding
waste energy adds up.
With SonaVu… Powered by SDT,
finding leaks has never been easier.
Maintenance practitioners can perform
air leak surveys utilizing SonaVu
acoustic imaging camera and
SDT LEAKChecker.
Connecting it with the high-quality
noise attenuating headphones, you can
hear what SonaVu hears. Listen for
the characteristic hissing of the compressed
air leaks in the headphones
and watch the touchscreen color display
light up with the precise location
of the leak.
Inspectors document leaks by taking
a picture or video with SonaVu,
providing an easy roadmap for repair
crews to make things right again.
Choose to create a still image (camera
icon) or a video (video icon) for generating
leak survey reports. SonaVu
saves the leak image in either photo or
video format.
SonaVu makes locating leaks in
your compressed air system – wherever
they may occur – effortless, and
even fun.
