[SBE] Ultrasonic Leak Detection

[Chris Spacone]

Cowboy,

The Boss (tm) is a pretty reasonable guy and he will probably bite on the
$200 expenditure. From the feedback it sounds like Ultrasonic is viable. If
he gets me the tool Ill post again you guys know how it turns out.

73,
Chris

 Just depends on whether you want your vacuum inside, or outside !
 ;)

 Personally, I'd never want to use a vacuum inside a transmission line,
 be it wave guide or hard line, or other. It pretty much guarantees you'll
push
 ( pull ? Does it matter ? ) atmospheric water into the line, which will
then need
 purged, even if it doesn't rupture seals designed for pressure in the other
direction.

 I'll be real interested in real world experience with a sonic detector
though,
 with TX blowers running, HVAC, and all the rest.
