7 Benefits of Ultrasonic Fire Suppression Inspection

Ultrasonic Fire Suppression Testing: Save Time, Money, and Your System’s Integrity

Ultrasonic fire suppression inspection offers a less invasive, more cost-effective testing method that can be used during inspections or as a routine maintenance check on your fire suppression systems. There is no shutdown time, it is non-destructive, and system drainage is not required.

Ultrasonic fire suppression inspection offers several significant benefits for the inspection of fire suppression systems, particularly piping. Ultrasonic testing is:

1 Non-Destructive and Non-Invasive:

• Traditional inspection methods require cutting into pipes and taking samples. Ultrasonic testing is completely non-destructive, meaning that the fire suppression system remains intact and the integrity is not affected.
• Ultrasonic fire suppression inspection is non-invasive. The inspection is conducted externally and does not require the system to be dismantled or shut down. Ultrasonic testing reduces the disruption of your building’s operation.

2 Cost and Time Savings:

• Ultrasonic fire suppression inspection significantly reduces labor costs and inspection time.
• Since there is not a need to cut and repair your system’s pipes, your business experiences no downtime.
• Water is conserved since the fire suppression system does not need to be drained and refilled.

3 Comprehensive Assessment:

• Ultrasonic fire suppression inspection provides a complete system assessment to provide a more thorough understanding of your system.
• Ultrasonic testing will detect internal issues like:
  • Cracks in the piping
  • Build-up and scaling
  • Corrosion, thinning, and pitting of pipes
  • Air trapped in water or dry systems
  • Other anomalies

4 Early Detection of Problems:

• Ultrasonic fire suppression testing can identify initial signs of corrosion that are not always visible during external inspections.
• Early detection can prevent potential system failures and will make your system more reliable in emergency situations.

5 Improved Accuracy and Reliability:

• Ultrasonic testing will identify the extent of corrosion and provide a comprehensive assessment.
• The quantitative data learned during an ultrasonic inspection will allow business owners to make better-educated decisions regarding maintenance, replacement, and repairs.

6 Enhanced Safety:

• Using the data from an ultrasonic inspection can help identify compromised components of the system before a catastrophic failure occurs.
• It also eliminates the risks associated with system downtime during invasive inspections.

7 Environmentally Friendly:

• Ultrasonic testing reduces the need to drain the system which will conserve water, and make the system more environmentally responsible.
