High Productivity
Large mechanical scan overlap covering up to 120 mm/r.
Versatile system quickly reconfigurable to different inspection configurations:
Fast mechanical changeover time.
Quick access to predefined inspection setups.
Software wizard tool to create new inspection setup.
Multiple parallel firing to simultaneously inspect at different positions on pipe:
Up to 4 apertures per phased array probe.
Quality
Multiple defect types inspection capability (L, T, O, and LAM) and wall thickness (WT) measurements.
Unique cluster/water wedge (WW) concept allowing:
Many degrees of freedom (DOF) in order to follow pipe movement.
Perfect coupling, even with important straightness variations.
Mechanical and acoustic design leaving only small untested tube ends.
Automatic calibration per channel providing the highest documented repeatability in the industry with detailed data reporting.
High sensitivity on small reference defects with an SNR greater than 12 dB.
Fulfills testing regulations such as API-5CT and API-5L.
Qualified by the most important oil companies in the world (Exxon-Mobil, Shell, BP, and Chevron).
User Friendly
Easy interpretation of the inspection results using real-time strip-chart displays.
Easy and fast mechanical reconfiguration between two pipe sizes.
Detailed alarms and data reporting.
Supervisor software that:
Merges and archives inspection data in one common database.
Centralizes inspection results and real-time displays on a single work station.
DCOM exchange protocol for easy interface with customer level 2 production-line systems.
