Controlling all the components of device during scanning, data handling and keeping the results of measurements is made by electronic unit of scanner-flaw detector.
Protocol of inspection with the list of detected defects, their characteristics and the results of compliance testing of weld of the regulations of rejection are displayed on integrated display.
Lithium-ferrum-polymer battery, built in the electronic unit provides continuous work for 4 hours with a full cycle recharge in 15 minutes.
Ultrasonic inspection is based on two multi-element antenna arrays and digital focusing aperture (DFA) algorithm, which provides the maximum possible for ultrasound sensitivity to flaws, selecting of their types, measuring equivalent cross-section area and full inspection of the whole welding line and near-weld area.
A stable acoustic contact with low flow rate and possibility to inspection not less than 10 running meters of the weld by one full tank is provided due to automatic liquid supply from the tank through injectors under the antenna arrays.
Apart from visual inspection, laser-optical channel, continuously measures the position of the antenna arrays relative to the axis of weld what is used for correction of a trajectory of movement.
Transmission system is based on magnetic motor-wheel, which provides safe movement and keeps it on all circumference of the pipe and also presses antenna arrays to the surface.
Mechanical switch of the magnetic field allows removing or setting up scanner on the surface of pipe without any problem.
3D inclination angle sensor and GPS / GLONASS / Galileo positioning system provide georeferencing of the collected data.
Bluetooth headset (headphone) of the operator allows watching the process of inspection in loud areas and with the button on the headset remote controlling the movement of the scanner – flaw detector.
Monoblock body of the device allows to transport and operate scanner-flaw detector by only one operator.
