Where Can You Use the NoisePAD?
October 20, 2025
When it comes to analysing noise and vibration on site, we know that you’re constantly on the move. That’s why you need portability, and durability. And few instruments pack as much capability into such a compact form as the NoisePAD™ from SINUS. At less than a kilogram in weight, this…
Why Type Approved Certification Matters
October 13, 2025
When you’re choosing a noise monitoring system, you want to have trust in that kit and you need to know the data that you are collecting is accurate, reliable and defensible. Sometimes behind the impressive branding and technical specs, the calibration certificate that comes with the instrument doesn’t really tell…
What is Dynamic Range, Frequency Range and Sensitivity?
June 30, 2025
When you’re choosing a microphone, whether for recording music, capturing environmental sounds, or monitoring industrial noise, the technical specs can feel like a foreign language. Terms like sensitivity, dynamic range, and frequency response might sound intimidating, but they’re actually pretty straightforward once you break them down. In this guide, we’ll…
What Is Acoustic Imaging?
June 25, 2025
You have probably never heard of an acoustic camera, how can we see sound? Well today we’re answering the question, what is acoustic imaging? Let’s face it… most people have never even heard of an acoustic camera, let alone used one. But stick with us, because these devices are not…
Acoustic Imaging is Being Used For Leak Detection in Manufacturing
June 11, 2025
Manufacturing is the backbone of modern industry, producing everything from automobiles to wind turbines and solar panels. However, many manufacturing processes rely on complex gas and vacuum systems, where leaks can lead to inefficiencies, product defects, and even safety hazards. Leaks in manufacturing facilities aren’t an uncommon problem. With the…
Gas Leak Detection at Givaudan using Acoustic Imaging
May 29, 2025
In industries producing raw materials for cosmetics, detergents, and other products, hazardous gases like ethylene pose a constant risk. These gases are highly flammable and, if undetected, can lead to explosions, serious injuries, and costly downtime. Normally, traditional methods such as handheld gas sniffers, soap and bubble tests and fixed…
Applications of the MENHIR
May 19, 2025
In today’s infrastructure and engineering landscape, the requirement for robust and regulation-compliant vibration monitoring has never been greater. From large scale demolition sites to health care facilities to sensitive heritage buildings and more, the risks posed to structural integrity from vibrations require smarter tools and faster insights. This is where…
How Acoustic Imaging is Used in the Food & Beverage Industry
May 13, 2025
When working with food & beverage leak detection, many production processes rely on compressed air, steam, and gas, making leak detection essential. We know that safety and efficiency with these systems are key. Undetected leaks lead to increased costs and potentially damaging contamination risks. There are many methods of detecting…
Acoustic Imaging is Detecting Leaks in Waste-to-Energy Plants
April 29, 2025
Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plants are essential for converting municipal solid waste (MSW) into steam, which powers electric generator turbines. This process supports both waste management and renewable energy production, making it a crucial part of sustainable infrastructure. However, maintaining efficiency and more importantly, safety in these facilities relies on the complete…
The Ultimate Guide to Picking the Right Measurement Microphone
April 17, 2025
We understand that the burden of picking your next measurement microphone; maybe you have started a new project, or your current microphones need replacing… Or maybe you’re getting your first ever set of microphones? Whatever the reason, let’s just say that trawling through endless datasheets, tables, graphs and charts isn’t…
Detecting Loose Bolts with Acoustic Imaging
April 15, 2025
Transmission towers, bridges, and industrial structures rely on secure fastenings to maintain their integrity. Over time, bolts can loosen due to vibration, environmental conditions, and regular wear and tear. Identifying these weak points manually is a time-consuming and hazardous task, requiring workers to inspect each bolt individually—often at dangerous heights.…
Detecting Partial Discharge with Acoustic Imaging
April 1, 2025
Electrical insulation failures are a major concern in high-voltage systems. One of the early warning signs of insulation degradation is partial discharge—a localized electrical discharge that can lead to equipment failure if left unchecked. Now for years, the way to find partial discharge has been with High-Frequency Current Transformers (HFCT)…
