FLIR Si2x-LD Acoustic Imaging Camera for Leak Detection
The FLIR Si2x-LD is an advanced ultrasonic detector designed for precise detection, location, and measurement of compressed air and gas leaks, as well as bearing faults, from distances up to 200 meters (656 feet).
When pressurised air escapes out into the atmosphere, finding it using any other method than ultrasound can be difficult. With the FLIR Si2x-LD it can be easy!
Background noise can very effectively be filtered out, which means that a good ultrasonic solution like the FLIR Si-Series also works in noisy conditions. Acoustic imaging pays for itself!
The financial rationale for proactively addressing leaks is straightforward: it proves to be a far more cost-effective and less disruptive approach to identify and address issues, strategically plan scheduled downtime, and undertake necessary repairs and replacements.
2 in 1 tool...
The Si2x-LD has ‘in-tool‘ and ‘in-software‘ decision support is critical to overcome gaps in user experience and training and enable new tool users to effectively improve plant productivity while reducing safety hazards.
Quantification of compressed air and industrial gas leaks, including estimated leak cost, helps maintenance departments prioritise repairs and makes it easy for maintenance managers to point to the impact their team is having on a company’s bottom line.
Providing mechanical noise analysis tools enables inspectors to determine if a bearing or other piece of rotating equipment is degrading over time. The Si2-LD makes all this possible!
How Manufacturers can benefit:
High energy costs can have a huge impact on a company’s bottom line, especially for manufacturers who rely on compressed air and vacuum systems or use gases such as carbon dioxide in their production process. When these systems leak - it’s like money seeps out along with the air. So being able to see the system leaks, pinpoint the source, and even calculate the energy loss is a game changer!
Find compressed air, vacuum, CO2, and other gas leaks with the Si2x-LD!

Air Leak Detection:
Examples of leaks in systems that can be detected with the FLIR Si2x-LD
- Locating pressurised leaks in compressed air systems
- Compressed gas leaks including CO2, helium, ammonia, hydrogen, methane, nitrogen, and argon
- Vessel testing such as shipping and other sealed container seal testing
- Steam leaks in building heating and power generation systems
- Faults in vacuum systems
Mechanical Fault Detection:
Utilise sound-based technology to detect, localise, and analyse faults in mechanical systems.
This approach is particularly valuable for preventive maintenance and condition monitoring, as it allows for early detection of anomalies before they evolve into serious failures.
Pinpoint the exact location of faults with the Si2x-LD. This acoustic camera reduces the need for extensive manual inspections and disassembly, saving time and labor costs. Additionally, early detection of faults helps prevent catastrophic failures, extending the lifespan of equipment and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
Examples of mechanical faults that can be detected with acoustic imaging:
- Industrial rotating machinery
- Bearings
- Rollers
- Conveyors
- Pulleys
- Compressors
- Motors
