SONAPHONE Product Family - Digital Ultrasonic Testing for Maintenance

The SONAPHONE digital ultrasonic inspection device combines innovative sensor technology, intuitive apps and browser-based software. Thus, classic maintenance tasks such as bearing inspection, leak detection, steam trap testing or electrical inspection can be performed efficiently.

With the SONAPHONE product family, SONOTEC offers its customers solutions that are precisely tailored to the respective ultrasonic applications in maintenance. For example, the technician can choose between the cross-application LevelMeter app and the special apps LeakExpert for leak detection and SteamExpert for the inspection of steam traps.

The SONAPHONE DataSuite is used to store, analyze and manage the ultrasonic measurement results. It is the heart and central data hub of the SONAPHONE web-and-app concept. It also enables the organization of all ultrasonic measurements in the form of an asset tree as well as the trend evaluation of various levels and characteristic values as the basis for condition-oriented, predictive maintenance.

Thanks to optimally coordinated software and apps, the SONAPHONE DataSuite software enables intuitive collection of ultrasonic inspection data within defined inspection routes or as route-independent measurements.
