Acoustic Ultrasound in Railroad
Keeping railcars and locomotives moving is as important to an economy as any industry. CTRL Systems has worked closely with railroad service organizations, operators, and manufacturers to identify more than 20 areas of application to use the UL101 and InCTRL for inbound/outbound inspection stations.
Manufacturers of hopper cars and train compartments that carry grain, cement, or other granular materials must inspect their products for leaks in order to ensure effective transportation. The current industry standard is extremely rudimentary, typically only done visually with a flashlight. This practice is very time consuming, and still leads to routine leaks and loss of inventory. However, CTRL revolutionizes this process with the UL101 ultrasound listening devices.

The UL101 Difference
Easy to use
Allow for detection at a high distance when you combine the UL101 with the PowerBeam 300
Reduce costs
Competitively priced UL101 products let you lower costs by 3-5 times compared to methods like vibration reliability testing
Better results
UL101 products are ruggedized for use in caustic environments, including power plants
Simple to learn
Reduce time in training with our modules that teach you to successfully operate the UL101 within an hour to a few days
