A company specializing in sound cameras in Daedeok Innopolis has launched a portable ultrasonic camera that detects the risk of gas leakage or electrical discharge. It will be able to greatly improve the existing working method of checking gas leaks by using soap bubbles.
SM Instruments (CEO Kim Young-key) made an announcement on Tuesday that it has developed the world's smallest and fastest ultrasonic camera "BATCAM 2.0" by applying sound technology.
BATCAM 2.0, which was developed this time, drastically reduced its size (237mm) by using a digital Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) sensor and can be carried at 1.2kg. It has been developed as the world's smallest and fastest-analyzed ultra-small camera.
Just as thermal imaging cameras shoot thermal images, ultrasonic cameras are the latest industrial cameras that measure ultrasound that is not audible to humans and take pictures of gas leaks and electric arcs in real time.
BATCAM 2.0 uses 112 high-sensitivity microphones to measure ultrasonic waves, and the measured signals are converted into ultrasound images in real time through an analysis technology independently developed by SM Instruments.
In particular, ultrasonic signals generated by electric arcs can also be filmed in real time using ultrasonic cameras, making it easy to determine minute defective insulators through filming. Measurements can also be made from a long distance to check for short circuits such as insulators and transformers that are high off the ground.
Since ultrasonic cameras are measured using sound, they have the advantage of detecting gas leakage immediately regardless of the type of gas or surrounding airflow, but conventional chemical sensors can detect gas only when a certain concentration of gas is accumulated in the air. Sensors using conventional optical methods do not detect gases such as ammonia and hydrogen that do not contain carbon.
SM Instruments said it has already completed verification of BATCAM 2.0 performance at domestic power generators, chemical plants and semiconductor plants, and has been recognized for its excellent performance after comparative tests with products from competitors.
"We will be able to prevent gas leaks that can be harmful to humans or caused by disasters in advance, and provide a breakthrough in the inspection of fine electric arcs that can lead to forest fires," said CEO Kim Young-key. "First of all, we will target the Chinese market through an international exhibition of electric power facilities in Shanghai, China, in November."
