leader in leak detection for more than 60 years, Superior Signal Company introduced the revolutionary AccuTrak® line of ultrasonic instruments over 25 years ago.  Today more than ever, Superior AccuTrak® offers a unique combination of High Performance, useful features, and very affordable prices.  AccuTrak® Ultrasonic instruments are used for a variety of Equipment & Plant Maintenance applications, in addition to Leak Detection.

The Superior AccuTrak® VPX-WR is a truly unique and innovative instrument optimized to detect compressed air leaks, gas and refrigerant leaks of any kind, vacuum leaks, find electric arc and corona, and diagnose other mechanical faults in real-world industrial conditions.  Rugged and waterproof the VPX-WR is engineered and built for reliable use in all types of harsh field environments.  Sealed controls, indictors and plugs make the unit 100% water tight and impervious to steam, oil, fumes, dust etc. allowing the instrument to be used in hostile environments where other instruments fail.  The advanced digital circuitry and sensor are housed in a hard anodized aluminum case, surrounded by a padded grip for durability and longevity that is unmatched by any competitors.

The VPX-WR detects compressed air and gas leaks from a distance, and then enables the user to pinpoint the exact location of the leak.  The instrument’s patented Dynamic Noise Discrimination (DND) technology scans a broad range of ultrasound (20 to 100 kHz) allowing operators to find leaks faster and more reliably, without the guesswork of manual tuning.  Nearly all industrial facilities have numerous compressed air leaks, with larger facilities typically wasting over $100,000 a year!  The VPX-WR is the preferred instrument for Air Leak Survey Professionals all over the world.

The versatile Superior AccuTrak® VPE-2000 Ultrasonic instrument is an extremely useful tool for a great variety of Equipment & Plant Maintenance functions.  The VPE-2000 is uniquely designed with two separate specialized sensors, each supported by dedicated circuitry configured to maximize the performance and function for many different applications.  One sensor is dedicated to airborne ultrasound, to detect compressed air and gas leaks, refrigerant leaks, vacuum leaks, electric arc and corona, gasket leaks, and other applications.  The second sensor is attached to a contact probe to “hear” internal ultrasound inside valves, equipment and machinery.   With this probe sensor the VPE-2000 can effectively be used to assess and diagnose bearings, valves, pumps, steam traps, and many other mechanical systems.

The VPE-2000 is two instruments in one, providing optimum sound clarity and frequency response for any application.  Full digital control allows the user to switch between the airborne and contact sensors while retaining all settings in memory, saving time and money.  The bar graph LED indicator allows quick assessments, while the alpha-numeric readout provides the information to establish baselines, perform trending, and obtain repeatability that no analog instrument can match.  The VPE-2000 is an essential tool for any maintenance professional who needs to monitor and maintain motors, pumps, bearings, steam traps, electrical equipment, compressed air systems, vacuum systems, compressed gas systems, refrigeration systems, or boilers.

Superior AccuTrak® products are all made in the USA, to the highest quality standards, and provide higher performance at a lower cost than other competitive products.  The VPX-WR and the VPE-2000 each come in a premium protective hard case, with a full complement of accessories.
