The Better Way to Find Air Leaks

Compressed air is essential in most industrial facilities, but up to 40% of it is lost to leaks. That waste drives up energy costs, reduces system performance, and can cause unplanned downtime. Globally, billions of dollars disappear every year due to compressed air leakage.

Old methods of air leak detection, like soapy water tests or ultrasonic devices with limited range, were slow, required specialized training, and often forced shutdowns.

Today, there's a faster, safer, and more accurate way. Fluke acoustic imaging cameras let you locate compressed air, gas, and vacuum leaks in minutes, even in noisy environments, without interrupting production. From air leak detection systems to ISO 50001 compliance, explore our expert resources, case studies, and how-to guides to start saving energy and protecting uptime.
