Fire safety equipment servicing is essential for ensuring that systems operate correctly in an emergency. For many businesses and buildings, the challenge is not just carrying out regular servicing, but doing so with accuracy, safety, and minimal disruption.
Coltraco Ultrasonics supports fire safety installation servicing through advanced ultrasonic technologies designed to monitor, inspect, and verify the condition of fire suppression systems, sprinkler systems, and compartment integrity. This enables technicians and competent persons to carry out inspection, maintenance, and regular servicing to the highest standards.
We are proud winners of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade, in both 2019 and 2022.
Our ultrasonic Safesite™ technologies monitor the contents and flow rates of complex, high-pressure, liquefied (Portalevel®) and non-liquefied (Portagas®) fire extinguishing systems, and the compartment and room integrity of the space into which the extinguishing gas is actuated, so that the room/compartment (Portascanner®) can “hold” the extinguishing gas into which it is discharged.
Supporting industry leaders like Johnson Controls, Chubb, Siemens, Minimax, and VIKING EMEA, Coltraco Ultrasonics is committed to delivering the most technically accurate, regulation-compliant, and easy-to-use fire safety solutions. We support the fire industry in a full range, such as flow meters for sprinkler and deluge systems, constant monitoring systems for CO2, clean agent, and Inergen® cylinders, and airtightness test equipment for monitoring room integrity.
As a specialist company in ultrasonic monitoring, Coltraco supports organisations responsible for fire safety equipment servicing, from inspection through to ongoing system verification.
The contents of liquefied gaseous agents, i.e., CO2, FM200®, NOVEC® 1230, are highly pressurised, which can lead to the risk of content loss through accidental discharge or seepage through openings, such as valves. Regular weighing of these cylinders takes a great deal of time, physical effort, and risk as they are highly pressurised systems, whereas our leading range of portable handheld instrumentation, Portalevel® range of ultrasonic liquid level indicators (ULLI), is designed to inspect gaseous fire suppression systems contents in 30 seconds. Inspects liquid level of CO2, FM-200®, NOVEC™1230, Halon, etc., contents to comply with NFPA, ISO 14520, & IMO SOLAS FSS. ATEX Zone 1 variants available
Non-liquefied gaseous extinguishing systems, such as Inergen® systems protecting high-value critical national infrastructure, must be monitored because they are highly pressurised and may leak over time, leading to the risk of content loss and reduction in their design concentration, potentially impacting their ability to suppress fire. The world’s first Portagas® is a unique and innovative content monitoring solution for pressurised, non-liquefied inert gas cylinders such as Inergen®. Complies with NFPA 2001 and is able to detect marginal changes in the pressure of inert gas cylinders, not related to temperature changes.
Pressure and blockages in a sprinkler system must be closely monitored to ensure it does not exceed safe tolerances and that the sprinkler system will actuate in the event of a fire. Portasonic® range of ultrasonic flow meters, designed to test flow rates in fire protection sprinkler systems. Portable clamp-on transit time flow meters for accurate measurement in fire hydrant systems.
If a room protected by a gaseous suppression system has leak sites in its compartmentation and the agent cannot be contained in the room, then the critical infrastructure/building will not be protected from fire. An inspection of the overall condition of the existing fire compartments is required. The most suitable way to address periodic inspections is through the use of ultrasound, with a device used to non-invasively and accurately locate and quantify leak sites (Portascanner® AIRTIGHT). Designed to complement the Door Fan Test, before, during, and after room integrity testing.
Regular servicing of fire safety equipment is essential to:
These processes also support ongoing fire risk assessments and help ensure that systems continue to operate safely under heat and pressure conditions.
Without regular maintenance, even well-installed systems may fail to perform as expected.
Coltraco’s technologies support technicians in maintaining systems to the highest standards by providing accurate and reliable inspection methods.
Coltraco Ultrasonics provides advanced portable solutions designed to support precise and efficient testing across:
These technologies are used by fully trained technicians and accredited professionals across the fire safety industry to improve inspection accuracy and reduce risk. Our approach is built on technical precision and excellent customer service, supporting clients across the fire safety industry.
Fire safety equipment should be serviced regularly according to system type and regulatory standards.Fire suppression systems require periodic inspection and maintenance to ensure they operate correctly. Regular servicing helps identify faults, maintain compliance, and ensure systems function effectively in an emergency.
If you are responsible for maintaining fire safety systems in your business or building, ensuring accurate inspection and regular servicing is essential.
Coltraco Ultrasonics provides the equipment and technologies required to support fire safety equipment servicing, from initial supply through to ongoing system monitoring.
