How many more leaks will you find with a new Fluke Sound Beacon?
So. Many. More.
Upgrade your leak detection process and ensure the integrity of your non-pressurized vessels with the Fluke SB140 Sound Beacon. This cutting-edge method revolutionizes leak detection and tightness testing by placing the SB140 device inside the vessel and using an ii500, ii905 or ii915 Fluke Acoustic Imager in Beacon Mode from the outside to visually locate escaping ultrasound through weld beads, gaskets, seals, hatches or windows. It is perfect for quality control in applications such as aviation, automotive, railroads, clean rooms and so many more. Now available on its own or in an Acoustic Imaging Kit.

Upgrade your leak detection process with the Fluke SB140 Sound Beacon
This cutting-edge method revolutionizes leak detection and tightness testing by placing the SB140 Sound Beacon device inside the vessel and using a Fluke Acoustic Imager from the outside to visually locate escaping ultrasound through weld beads, gaskets, seals, hatches, or windows. It is perfect for quality control in aviation, automotive, railroads, clean rooms, and more.
The Fluke SB140 Sound Beacon is designed with tightness applications in mind and to work in conjunction with Fluke acoustic imagers. The chosen ultrasound frequency of 40 kHz is excellent at traveling through the air with low attenuation. This means the sound inside a closed space can effectively find its way out of a leak path and to the Fluke camera for visualization. Fluke acoustic imagers easily detect the ultrasound frequency of the SB140 Sound Beacon, so the potential leak point is pinpointed visually on the screen. Using the Fluke acoustic imager in “Beacon Mode” is even more straightforward because the camera frequency filter is fixed and centered on 40 kHz.
FAST AND ACCURATE
Ideal for applications where pressurization isn't feasible, offering a swift and precise inspection process for vehicles, aircraft, compartments, and buildings.
EFFICIENT
Traditional methods are slow and laborintensive. The Fluke SB140 Sound Beacon, combined with an acoustic imager, allows you to quickly pinpoint and address leaks.
USER-FRIENDLY
Operate easily with minimal training, making it accessible for all personnel.
