Know the impact and cost of each leak to make
informed energy-saving repairs
Ultra Go quantifies leaks, indicating their severity, in real time. The leak rate is calculated from the sound emitted by the leak, and displayed in liters per hour, grams per hour (or standard cubic feet per hour).
The cost of each leak quantified is displayed live, without resorting to external tools or post-processing calculations. The system calculates the annual financial loss based on the measured leak rate in your selected currency.
Leverage such insights to classify leaks by cost order, prioritize maintenance actions, allocate resources efficiently, and support ROI-based decision-making.

Generate advanced reporting, with mapping feature
Ultra Go is equipped with a GPS chip, geotagging each outdoor leak finding. From Audalytics, Distran’s reporting system, find the photos and videos of the leaks, geolocated on a map.
With Audalytics, generate clear reports in a few clicks, transcribe voice-notes recorded during inspections into text thanks to the voice-to-text feature.
You can also synchronise leak findings with your own reporting tool or CMMS via open API.

Frequently Asked Questions
What distance can a leak be detected?
Depending on the flow rate of the leak, from 30 centimeters (1 feet) to 50-100 meters (150-300 feet). Large leaks (thousand of liters per hour) can be detected up to 50 meters. Small leaks (a few liters per hour) are detectable at a few meters. Typical leak search distance is between 1 to 6 meters (3 to 20 feet).
What type of gases can be detected?
A difference in pressure of 50 mbar (0.7 psi) is recommended for good detection. Below this, it is still be possible to detect gas leaks, but the detection limit of the device is higher. The difference can also be negative (vacuum leaks).
Which gases can be detected ? Does it work with vacuum leaks?
The camera does not detect gases directly but the sound leaks make when the gas is escaping (learn more about technology). Vacuum leaks can also be detected because they create turbulences and thus ultrasounds. What is needed is a minimum pressure difference (typically 50 mbar / 0.7 psi) and a path in the air for the sound to propagate.
Is it possible to operate Ultra Pro in noisy areas (compressor rooms, gas turbine enclosure, etc.)?
Ultra Pro filters all noises outside the detection window, in particular low frequency in the audible range. Even in a very noisy environment like in gas turbine noise enclosure with up to 100 dB(A) noise, leakages have been detected.
Ultra Pro estimates in real-time its lower limit of detection (LoD), allowing the user to know how accurate the inspection is. This is typically useful when acceptance criterion is used.
Can I inspect underground or insulated systems?
Direct sight is not required for leak detection, but the sound must propagate from the leak to the surface of Ultra Pro, where the microphones are located. This is typically not the case for underground systems (shielded by soil). For insulated systems it depends on how tight the insulation is.
What is the accuracy of Ultra Pro?
Similar to an optical camera, the accuracy is determined as an angle (the closer you are to a leak, the smaller is the linear accuracy). The accuracy depends on the acoustic imaging algorithm, the imaging frequency and how good the optical camera and the microphone array are matched.
The typical accuracy is about 1°.
Is the device ATEX Certified / Intrinsically Safe?
Ultra Pro X is the ATEX certified / intrinsically safe version of Ultra Pro. It is certified for zone 2 gas for class IIC (USA: div 2 class 1), including hydrogen.
Does Distran supply a tool to generate digital reports?
Yes. With every device, Distran includes free access to its reporting tool Audalytics. Pictures and videos can be included in reports along with notes and comments. It is easily shared between stakeholders.
